A player of the 1. FC Saarbrücken has almost escaped a serious misfortune. Niko Bretschneider and his family had a car accident.
Niko Bretschneider from 1st FC Saarbrücken was injured in a serious car accident with his wife and daughter. According to a report by the “Bild” newspaper, the 24-year-old was on the highway with his family when another car opened from behind at high speed. Due to the impact, the vehicle of football professionals was completely destroyed.
In addition to Bretschneider, his wife and the two -year -old daughter also sat in the car. According to the report, the child was secured in the child seat and only suffered blue spots. The parents, on the other hand, contracted bruises and were treated by a doctor.
The association confirmed that Bretschneider will be canceled for the time being. “It will definitely be missing from the team for a while,” said sports director Jürgen Luginger to the newspaper. Coach Alois Schwartz said: “We are glad that Niko and his family were probably lucky in misfortune. Niko is now being neurologically examined. We hope that nothing bigger will come out, but he will definitely be missing for a while.”
According to the failures of Kai Brünker (flu), Philip Fahrner (flu) and Calogero Rizzuto (Redperre), the staff ceiling of FC Saarbrücken becomes thinner. Nevertheless, Schwartz believes in a fifth victory in a row against Wehen Wiesbaden. “As I said recently, we are glad that we have a squad that is so densely occupied. Others now have the opportunity to show themselves.”
