FC Augsburg will have to do without André Hahn for several months

Goalkeeper Gikiewicz also suffered

Before the home game against VfL Wolfsburg, FC Augsburg has to accept a bitter personal setback. “André Hahn has suffered a serious knee injury and will be out for several months,” said coach Enrico Maaßen before the Bundesliga duel with Lower Saxony on Saturday (3:30 p.m.). It is a cartilage injury in the knee. “An operation is probably necessary,” the coach continued.

The 32-year-old right winger has played in seven of eight Bundesliga games for Augsburg and scored two goals, making him the team’s second-best goalscorer behind Ermedin Demirovic (24). “The result is sad because he was in a really good mood,” emphasized Maaßen, stating that Hahn had suffered the injury in the last game at Schalke. There the right foot, who is the longest-serving professional in the squad after Raphael Framberger (27) and Jeffrey Gouweleeuw (31), was the match winner with his goal to make it 3: 2.

Augsburg goalkeeper Rafal Gikiewicz (34), who was so strong last time, is also in danger of failing on Saturday. “He has a bloodshot thigh and hasn’t trained with the team this week. I hope that it will last until the weekend,” said Maassen. In addition, the Fuggerstadt striker Mergim Berisha (24) is missing yellow-red-banned.
