Daschner’s Move to St. Gallen Halted by Knee Dislocation

Surgery on the dislocated kneecap will sideline him for several months, delaying his role in St. Gallen’s midfield plans.

Overview

  • St. Gallen secured Daschner on July 1 for an initial €650,000 fee with add-ons that could raise the total to nearly €1 million.
  • In only his second preseason session, the 26-year-old dislocated his left kneecap during a training duel.
  • The club confirmed he underwent surgery and faces a multi-month recovery, ruling him out of early season matches.
  • This injury mirrors a kneecap dislocation he suffered in 2021 with Hamburg, which also cost him roughly six months.
  • Daschner had earned the permanent transfer after scoring three goals in 16 loan appearances for St. Gallen last season.
