Boey Apologizes After Stoppage-Time Head Clash Leaves Augsburg’s Fellhauer With Severe Concussion

Early hospital checks pointed to no facial fracture with a multi-week layoff expected for the 27-year-old.

Overview

  • The aerial collision in added time left Robin Fellhauer benommen, stabilized with a cervical collar and carried off on a stretcher for further assessment.
  • Broadcasters and Augsburg’s coach cited a severe concussion as the initial diagnosis, with local reports indicating he may have been allowed home later that night.
  • Sacha Boey issued a public apology on Instagram and spoke to Fellhauer after the match, while FC Bayern posted well-wishes and sporting director Max Eberl phoned the player.
  • Augsburg coach Sandro Wagner condemned the challenge and the Bayern bench’s reaction but said he did not ascribe intent to Boey.
  • The referee showed Boey a yellow card for the incident, and no further disciplinary measures had been announced.
