VfB Stuttgart will probably be without injured Pascal Stenzel until the end of the season

Substituted early in Berlin

From now on, VfB Stuttgart will have to do without Pascal Stenzel (26) in the fight to stay in the Bundesliga. The defender suffered a small tear in the abdominal muscles on the iliac crest, as the Swabians announced on Monday. He is expected to be out until the end of the season.

The right-back, who played in 17 games across all competitions this season, had to be replaced after 24 minutes in the 0-2 draw at Hertha BSC. Stenzel oscillated between the bench and the pitch for large parts of the season, before he was a member of the starting line-up in each of the past five games.

VfB is in table 16. with only three games left in acute danger of relegation. The gap to the non-relegation zone is four points.
