Overview

  • FC Carl Zeiss Jena announced that Manassé Eshele suffered an acromioclavicular joint disruption and will undergo surgery, sidelining him for months.
  • The 26-year-old was hurt just before halftime in the home match against SV Babelsberg after a duel with captain Philipp Zeiger led to a fall on his right shoulder.
  • Eshele had moments earlier scored his sixth goal of the season for a 1–0 lead, but Jena finished with a 1–1 draw and remain second in the table.
  • Head coach Volkan Uluc said the club will provide full medical and personal support as Eshele works toward a return.
  • The club reported defender Maxim Hessel sustained a minor knee injury that requires only a short training pause, with his availability for Hertha BSC II yet to be determined.
