Laszlo Benes fällt mit Muskelfaserriss aus

It was the 17th minute of the HSV away match at SV Sandhausen (28 May, 1:0) when Laszlo Benes injured himself while attempting to shoot. Now it is clear: the Slovakian has torn a muscle fibre in his thigh. This was the result of an MRI examination yesterday (Tuesday, 30 May).

This means that head coach Tim Walter will be without a valuable option for the two Play-Off matches against VfB Stuttgart (first leg: 1 June, second leg: 5 June). In the past second division season, the attacking midfielder played in 33 of a possible 34 games and contributed 15 scorer points (six goals, nine assists). Unfortunately, further highlights will not be added in this extended season. HSV wishes him a speedy recovery and a speedy return to the pitch.
