Overview
- Hertha coach Stefan Leitl confirmed Christensen was taken to hospital after a collision in an internal 90-minute test match in Kitzbühel.
- BILD reports the 21-year-old sustained a shoulder bruise and is not expected to face a long-term absence, though the club has not yet published a full medical bulletin.
- Deyovaisio Zeefuik had just returned from an almost three-month muscle-fibre injury and was on the pitch only briefly before the collision, and Luca Schuler also completed the second half.
- Leitl praised Hertha’s medical and rehab teams for recent recoveries, and the club must now assess Christensen’s short-term fitness because he is serving as the team’s primary left-back.
- Hertha have already made a first signing with Oluwaseun Adewumi and will monitor Christensen’s condition as they finalise preparations and friendlies ahead of the season.
