Bochum Confirm Vogt Knee Surgery, Rule Defender Out of Hertha Match

The club set no return date, intensifying selection pressure on Uwe Rösler before his debut against Hertha.

Overview

  • Bochum said Vogt underwent a minor knee operation last week without complications and that his recovery is proceeding as planned.
  • The 34-year-old will miss Saturday’s home fixture against Hertha BSC after already sitting out the 2-3 loss at Kaiserslautern before the international break.
  • The club did not disclose a timeframe for Vogt’s return.
  • Cajetan Lenz is suspended for the Hertha game after his fifth yellow card at Kaiserslautern, and Ibrahima Sissoko remains out long-term.
  • Local reporting outlines possible adjustments such as using Erhan Masovic in central defense or at the six, reinstating Philipp Strompf, or giving Francis Onyeka minutes.
