VfB Stuttgart | Mission hope at Marc Oliver Kempf – Chris Führich is canceled

In the last Bundesliga game against FC Augsburg, Marc Oliver Kempf had to leave the pitch in the first half with a hardening of his thigh. For the upcoming home game against Arminia Bielefeld, however, there is hope that the 26-year-old central defender will be available.

VfB, on the other hand, has to do without Chris Führich. After the 23-year-old had given VfB a 1-0 lead against FC Augsburg, the offensive player had to be replaced in 15 minutes after being injured after a blow to the ankle. In-depth examinations revealed a partial tear in the inner ligament of the ankle. An operation is not necessary.

VfB sporting director Sven Mislintat: “At Kempfi we hope to play against Bielefeld. The injury is very bitter for Chris because it is his second since he moved to VfB. But I am sure that he will not be knocked down by this new setback and that he will return quickly – possibly after the international break. “
