Augsburg Captain Jeffrey Gouweleeuw Misses Training After Renewed Knee Issue

Medical tests this week will determine the severity of the setback.

Overview

  • He played roughly the final 30 minutes as a substitute in Augsburg’s 2–3 defeat at VfB Stuttgart on Sunday.
  • He was absent from Tuesday’s first session of the international break with a problem in the same knee he recently injured.
  • The club has scheduled detailed examinations this week to establish a diagnosis and expected recovery timeline.
  • The setback follows a partial medial collateral ligament tear that kept him out for weeks, after an earlier broken hand addressed with surgery and a splint.
  • His availability for the next match against Hamburger SV is uncertain, with his contract expiring at season’s end adding to the uncertainty about his near-term role.
