Double upset for Backhouse as Eintracht Braunschweig and Arminia Bielefeld square off
In the fourth game of the season, Eintracht Braunschweig faced Arminia Bielefeld on Saturday, 30th August, with both teams starting the match with equal points (6 each). However, the game turned out to be a challenging one for Eintracht Braunschweig, as they had to contend with injuries to two key players - Max Marie and Stefano Russo.
The 19-year-old Max Marie was replaced by Patrick Nkoa after sustaining a muscle injury during the game. The injury occurred without any contact following a corner, leaving Eintracht Braunschweig in a tight spot, as they are already grappling with a defensive crisis due to Frederik Jänkel's recent cruel ACL tear.
The identity of the injured player on the right side, Stefano Russo, was also confirmed during the match. Russo attempted a cross, which was blocked by Lukas Frenkert, but the impact of the blocked cross resulted in an injury for Russo. The position of both Max Marie and Stefano Russo remains unspecified.
Coach Backhaus of Eintracht Braunschweig spoke openly about the search for a replacement for the long-term injury absence of Frenkert. However, a potential replacement for Lino Tempelmann, who is also currently injured, is not explicitly mentioned in the available sources. The unusual move of replacing Frenkert by Levente Szabo was made due to the ongoing defensive crisis.
Eintracht Braunschweig had a tough week prior to the game against Arminia Bielefeld, having played 120 minutes and a penalty shootout against VfB Stuttgart. Despite these challenges, they managed to put up a fight against Arminia Bielefeld, but the injuries to Max Marie and Stefano Russo will undoubtedly add to their troubles this week. The team will need to rally together and find solutions to these setbacks to continue their season on a positive note.
