Shock for Eintracht Braunschweig: Frenkert will be out for weeks!

FC Eintracht Braunschweig has made a promising start to the new season and has already collected seven points from the first four games. But the positive momentum is now being slowed down by a serious injury to central defender Lukas Frenkert. He was injured in the last game against Arminia Bielefeld (1:1) in the 51st minute when he blocked a cross and had to be taken off the pitch by medical staff News38 reported.

The diagnosis revealed the frightening truth: a torn muscle bundle. This means that Frenkert will be out for several weeks. He quickly established himself as a regular player at Eintracht Braunschweig under coach Heiner Backhaus and was one of the best players in the games so far. The injury is particularly bitter for the team because Frenkert also missed the decisive penalty in the cup game against VfB Stuttgart, which sealed the defeat in the penalty shootout.

Worrying injury situation

Frenkert's loss is not the only setback for Eintracht. Braunschweig is currently plagued by injuries in the central defense. Frederik Jäkel has already had to take a longer break due to a cruciate ligament injury, and Lino Tempelmann, who has a bone bruise, and Sidney Raebiger, who has torn a meniscus, are also currently unavailable for the team. The return of these players remains unclear for the time being.

The next game against SV Darmstadt 98 will also be a challenge for Eintracht, as Louis Breunig will not be playing in the next match either due to a suspension. However, he will be available again in the following games.
