The staff shortage in Fürth is getting worse and worse. The promoted team, which has been plagued by Corona and injury problems, reports the next injury.
It’s getting really crowded on the training ground of the Spielvereinigung. On Wednesday, Adrian Fein had to leave training early and go to the dressing room with muscular problems. It is not yet clear how badly the midfielder has been affected and how long he will have to take a break, a concrete diagnosis is still pending. However, his appearance on Sunday evening against Eintracht Frankfurt is at least in serious jeopardy, and Fein may also be out for a longer period of time. The 22-year-old has so far played a minor role for the promoted side, making just two short appearances in the Bundesliga and a single starting eleven appearance in the cup match at Babelsberg.
With 14 players injured or suffering from Corona, the Fürth squad is almost as strong as the remaining 16 professionals of the long-suffering coach Stefan Leitl. Meanwhile, the situation of the five players who tested positive for COVID-19 has not changed and the hope of having candidates cleared early is fading. After more than a week off training, the Frankfurt match would probably be too early even for symptom-free players.goalkeeper Sascha Burchert and defender Maximilian Bauer, for example, are showing significant courses of illness and are therefore not eligible for a comeback until further notice.
