Overview
- VfB Stuttgart said Demirovic has a beginning fracture of the tarsal bones and is unavailable for training and matches until further notice.
- Local reports indicate he will likely miss several weeks, though the club has not given a recovery timeline.
- Demirovic had started virtually every game and scored five competitive goals this season after stepping into a leading role.
- The attack was already thinned by Nick Woltemade’s summer move to Newcastle United and Deniz Undav’s knee ligament injury.
- Undav has rejoined parts of team training and could feature at Wolfsburg on October 18, while options such as Bilal El Khannouss and Tiago Tomás are expected to cover minutes.
