In focus Klos, Brunner, Kunze: Head and shoulder injuries shock Arminia – football – sport

Club record scorer Fabian Klos was hit first, then defender Cédric Brunner and the 0:3 defeat against FC Bayern Munich on Easter Sunday, midfielder Fabian Kunze had to be carried off the pitch on a stretcher. As the Bundesliga team announced on Monday, Kunze suffered a contusion on his spine and shoulder.

Bielefeld slips to 16th place

“A lot is being asked of us at the moment,” said coach Frank Kramer. “But you can also come out of it stronger by saying: Okay, if fate packs a few things in our backpacks, then we’ll counteract them even more resolutely and move even closer together. That’s how we have to approach the next game in Cologne.”

Three very important points await Arminia in Cologne. Due to the defeat against Bayern and Hertha’s victory over FC Augsburg, Bielefeld’s relegation worries are greater than ever. With 26 points, Bielefeld is in 17th place – two points behind VfB Stuttgart in 16th place and three points behind Hertha BSC in 15th place in the table.

Return of the injured still uncertain

It is still unclear whether one of the three injured in aerial duels will be able to play again this season. “Cedi and Fabi Klos are on the mend and that’s the most important thing.”said Captain Manuel Prietl after all.

Kunze is stable and conscious, Kramer said. His 23-year-old player was hit hard in the arm by Bayern defender Tanguy Nianzou. “If we’re honest, it’s a red card for me”said Kramer. Nianzou saw yellow.
