VfL Wolfsburg not only lost the match against Stuttgart, but also two players. In the case of Paulo Otavio, coach Florian Kohfeldt even fears “the worst. “
It’s not going well in Wolfsburg. After the 0:2 defeat against VfB, frustration spread through the Wolfsburg pack, which also had to mourn two injured players. Aster Vranckx had to be substituted already in the first half. The Belgian reported pain in his neck and throat. A diagnosis will be made after further examinations.
Paulo Otavio is causing more concern. The Brazilian had an unfortunate twist during a running duel with Konstantinos Mavropanos, slipped and had to be substituted with a thickly bandaged right knee (52nd minute).
Otavio was subsequently taken to hospital – and faces a long break. In any case, coach Florian Kohfeldt spread little hope when he said at the post-match press conference that they should expect “the worst”.
The left-back is thus facing the next entry in his medical file. The 27-year-old had already missed the start of the season due to an ankle injury and had only returned in mid-October.
