Overview
- Simon Terodde, who disclosed the accident on Sunday, said a motor scooter crash left him with a fractured fibula and a torn syndesmosis ligament.
- He was operated on in Cologne/Leverkusen and shared hospital photos and an X-ray that show internal fixation with a large screw; he publicly thanked the surgical teams.
- The injury forces Terodde to miss the Kreisligist SSV 1927 Lützenkirchen’s training start and opening fixtures after he had agreed to play and coach the club’s F‑youth team where his son Len is registered.
- Terodde remains optimistic about recovery, has outlined a rehab plan and asked Sky for a simple on‑set accommodation—a stool—to continue his role as a 2. Bundesliga TV expert.
- Terodde is the 2. Bundesliga’s record scorer and retired from pro football in 2024; his recovery timeline will determine whether his low‑profile comeback to amateur football goes ahead and how the club adapts in the short term.
