Hanover (AP) – Soccer professional Sebastian Ernst has suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon and his club Hannover 96 will be missing for several months. The second division football team gave that after an MRT examination known.
The 26-year-old midfielder had injured himself the day before while warming up before the home game against Darmstadt 98 (2-2) through no external influence. Already on Tuesday he should be operated in Munich. “We are extremely sorry for Sebi, who we will not only miss sportingly, but especially as a person,” said sports director Marcus Mann. Ernst had returned to Hanover from SpVgg Greuther Fürth before this season.
