Personnel shock for Viktoria: El Idrissi will be out for months!
The staffing level at Viktoria Aschaffenburg is becoming increasingly thin. Othmane El Idrissi, a key member of the team, will be out for several months. The 19-year-old suffered a severe torn muscle in the 1-0 defeat against SpVgg Hankofen-Hailing. This injury was diagnosed at the Aschaffenburg-Alzenau University Hospital and means a downtime of two to three months for the talented player, as kicker.de reports.
Since moving from Darmstadt, El Idrissi has become a regular player in Aschaffenburg and recently started seven consecutive games. The injury comes at an extremely bad time for Viktoria, who have already suffered five defeats in a row in recent weeks.
frustration and hope
Head coach Daniel Soldevilla was saddened by the renewed personnel setback. But he also finds positive aspects: a complete muscle tear, which one might have feared, did not occur. So the three-month winter break may mitigate the effects of the injury. However, El Idrissi will miss large parts of the preparation over the winter, which is not an optimal situation for his sporting development.
The long-term injuries have done the rest. El Idrissi is already the fifth long-term injury this season, after Emirhan Delikaya, Henry Held, Hendrik Ehmann and Niklas Biehrer. This is a real shock for the team and the fans who are watching the worries from the sidelines.
Risk of injury in football
Injuries are common in football, especially at the professional level. According to Sportmedizin.de, around a third of injuries come from the muscle area. Although muscles generally heal quickly, serious injuries often require longer rehabilitation periods. El Idrissi's diagnosis falls into a category that many players are uncomfortably familiar with.
FIFA defines an injury as any complaint that occurs during a match or training session. With increasing running speeds and high competitive pressure, the risk is correspondingly high. Contact injuries in particular are a common problem and often occur in competitions and heated game situations.
Viktoria has an important home game against SpVgg Bayreuth on Friday. Despite the sobering news, it remains to be hoped that the remaining players can overcome the challenges ahead and perhaps contribute to a positive turnaround in the season. The fans will be happy if the team continues to fight despite the difficulties and can stay close to the top of the table. Daniel Soldevilla has already called for people to make the best of the situation and wish El Idrissi a speedy recovery, which could also keep the team's spirits up.
