Dynamo Dresden Hit by Double Shoulder Blows as Risch, Zickler Sidelined

The club will use the international break to trial replacements at left-back before the 18 October trip to Preußen Münster.

Overview

  • Sascha Risch dislocated his shoulder late against Karlsruher SC and could not continue, as coach Thomas Stamm confirmed after the match.
  • BILD reports an acromioclavicular joint rupture for Risch that will require surgery, with his first half of the season likely over.
  • Jakob Zickler re-injured the same shoulder in training shortly after returning from a preseason clavicle fracture, and BILD says he is set for another operation.
  • Sporting director Thomas Brendel said the setbacks hit the team hard, noting Risch had established himself in the 2. Bundesliga starting lineup.
  • Dresden plans a Thursday test in Auerbach against Jahn Regensburg to assess left-back cover, with Alexander Rossipal back in full training and Lars Bünning a further option before the league match on 18 October.
