Bitter news for Heidenheim: Conteh is out with a knee injury!

1. FC Heidenheim faces a difficult challenge in the Bundesliga, as the team is currently at the bottom of the table. Another setback is looming: Sirlord Conteh tore the lateral meniscus in his right knee during training last week. The 29-year-old player has already undergone surgery and rehabilitation is expected to begin in the coming days. However, the exact downtime remains unclear for the time being, which puts additional strain on the club in the current situation. Conteh was already missing from the last game, a 0-1 defeat against VfB Stuttgart.

Last week, Conteh played a crucial role in the team's only win of the season so far, when he scored a goal and provided an assist in a 2-1 win against FC Augsburg. This injury not only represents a loss for the team, but also hits 1. FC Heidenheim in an already tense situation in the league. Just like the loss of Conteh, the return of other injured players such as Mathias Honsak and Marvin Pieringer is also eagerly awaited.

Impact on the team

Conteh's absence will have a major impact on 1. FC Heidenheim's offensive. Coach Frank Schmidt can rely on striker Budu Zivzivadze, who was previously out due to a red card suspension, but the thin staffing level could still be problematic. The next competitive game is against Werder Bremen on October 18th and the club's officials have to pull out all the stops to field a competitive team.

1. FC Heidenheim is currently bottom of the table and urgently needs points to secure relegation. In this hopeless situation, it is crucial to mobilize both the mental and physical strength of the remaining players after Conteh's injury. Every point counts for the rest of the season.
