After suffering a concussion ten days ago during the match in Duisburg, Felix Götze has resumed training With a rugby helmet as an interim solution.
The 24-year-old had decided to take this preventive measure after suffering his second head injury in a matter of weeks. On matchday 4 at Viktoria Berlin, Götze suffered a hairline fracture in his skull, worse than on Monday last week when he escaped with concussion in the 1-1 draw against MSV.
Since the helmet specially made for him is not yet ready, the midfielder will take to the pitch with a rugby helmet for the time being. A comeback as early as the important derby in Saarbrücken on Saturday is not out of the question.
