Hertha’s Reese and Cuisance Suffer Training Knocks, Status in Doubt for Friday

Coach Stefan Leitl termed the setbacks precautionary with medical checks to guide the next steps.

Overview

  • Michaël Cuisance took a blow to his right ankle in a challenge with Diego Demme and left the session with the joint bandaged.
  • Captain Fabian Reese sustained a knock to his right knee, was taken off on a golf cart, and had been stopped from continuing finishing drills.
  • The knocks came late in Hertha’s first post‑break training, reportedly within about ten minutes of each other.
  • Hertha has not confirmed either player’s availability for the home match against Braunschweig on Friday evening at the Olympiastadion.
  • Squad depth improved as Pascal Klemens joined most of the session, Dawid Kownacki and Linus Gechter trained fully, and John Brooks stayed out with ankle problems.
