Even with Brunner’s injury, there were some indications of a Wolfsburg victory on the 29th match day – after this action, the Bielefeld side, for whom the afternoon was also a severe setback in terms of sport, fell apart. “Of course it was a shock,” said Bielefeld’s trainer Frank Kramer to ARD radio.
Wolfsburg liberation thanks to Nmecha
Because despite all the concerns about Brunner, the game was also of enormous importance for the relegation battle in the Bundesliga. And Wolfsburg’s Lukas Nmecha was promoted to man of the day. After his double pack, his team with 34 points probably no longer has to worry about relegation. On the other hand, the situation for Bielefeld, which could still be relegated to a direct relegation zone by Hertha BSC on Saturday evening, is becoming increasingly precarious.
Lukas Nmecha had scored for the first time after just four minutes, but his first goal of the calendar year was ruled out due to an offside position. Only six minutes later the national player was able to celebrate after all, after a pass from Yannick Gerhardt he made it 1-0 for VfL (11th).
According to Arminia, Brunner is conscious
Wolfsburg dominated the game, which then came to a standstill in the 27th minute. After a corner from the hosts, VfL striker Wind and his opponent Brunner banged their heads with full force. The Bielefeld defender remained motionless, was briefly unconscious according to the club and was carried to the catacombs on a stretcher, fixed with belts.
From there it went for Brunner”immediately to the hospital“As Bielefeld announced on Twitter. A week earlier, Armine had suffered a serious head injury in the game against Stuttgart (1-1): Fabian Klos even had to have surgery after a collision with teammate Alessandro Schöpf. Brunner seems at least spared that to stay.
