Arminia Bielefeld announced on Monday that Patrick Wimmer will be out at least until the end of the week. Initial examinations revealed multiple facial injuries and a concussion.
Actually, Bielefeld had every reason to be happy after their first win of the season against VfB Stuttgart – if it hadn’t been for the injury-related substitution of Patrick Wimmer. About ten minutes before the end, the variable offensive player, who had moved to Arminia from Austria Wien in the summer, had to be substituted with a bloody nose after a violent collision with Nikolas Nartey.
On Monday, examinations now revealed the exact extent of the head injuries. Arminia announced that the 20-year-old had suffered a concussion, a fractured nasal bone and a bruised mid-face.
The top scorer of the East-Westphalia team (3 points, equal to Fabian Klos) will miss at least until the end of this week. Afterwards, the medical department of the table-17. will decide on the further course of action.
