Heidenheim's Pieringer: After surgery – long break for the goalscorer!
1. FC Heidenheim attacker Marvin Pieringer is expected to be out of the team for a longer period of time due to a recent ankle operation. The 25-year-old had been suffering from symptoms for a long time, which ultimately led to the surgical procedure. According to zvw.de the exact duration of his absence is currently uncertain and depends largely on the course of his rehabilitation.
The difficulties for 1. FC Heidenheim are increasing as Pieringer is not the only player undergoing medical treatment. Benedikt Gimber, a defensive back, also faces surgery on Wednesday for a hernia. Gimber plans to return to team training as they prepare for the new season, it has also been reported.
Injury in the decisive game
Marvin Pieringer's injury occurred specifically in the game against Bayer 04 Leverkusen, which Heidenheim lost 2-5. Up to this point, Pieringer had scored four goals and three assists in the season and had been a permanent fixture in the starting line-up since matchday 2, which underlines his importance to the team. According to ligainsider.de, head coach Frank Schmidt said that Pieringer is not an issue this week. He stressed that the situation needs to be assessed day by day and he hopes that Pieringer can return to the pitch later this year.
The team's preparation for the new season begins on July 1st. However, Pieringer's absence and possibly Gimber's could have an impact on the team's preparation and tactical direction. The coming weeks will be crucial in ensuring the fitness and resilience of the players, while the coaching team must weigh up the options against the current conditions.
