BHC-Damen's Play-offs in Mainz Are Hindered by Persistent Injury Issues

Bergischer HC (BHC) faced TuS Lintfort in the NRW derby at the Leistungszentrum Kanalstraße next Saturday, but the match was marred by an injury to one of BHC's star players, Annalena Welsch.

During the game, Welsch attempted a jump shot but fell awkwardly on her right arm. The on-site medical team attended to her for a significant amount of time before she was taken to Mainz University Hospital.

The hospital provided prompt and uncomplicated support for Welsch, who underwent an elbow reset and was put in a cast. However, further examinations by Dr. Robert Weindl in Solingen on Monday will determine if there is an additional fracture or ligament injury for Welsch. If necessary, surgery will be performed on her right elbow.

The game was abandoned after a nearly hour-long break. The BHC women's team, who secured a victory with goals from Leo Kockel, Djazzmin Trabelsi (2), Johanna Stockschläder, and Annalena Welsch, are now seeking the support of their fans more than ever for the game against TuS Lintfort, scheduled for January 18th at 6:30 PM.

Unfortunately, the location to purchase tickets for the game against TuS Lintfort has not been specified in the provided text. For the latest information on Welsch's injury status and upcoming treatments or examinations, checking official club statements, sports news related to the team, or direct announcements from medical staff or Annalena Welsch herself would be necessary.

As of now, it appears that recent or detailed public updates on her injury are not available in the provided sources. We hope for a speedy recovery for Annalena Welsch and wish her the best of luck in her upcoming games with the BHC women's team.
