Bochum's Holtmann to miss longer after knee surgery - Bochum’s Holtmann ruled out for season after knee surgery setback
Holtmann’s absence comes after a knee operation that was initially expected to be minor. However, the recovery period remains unclear, and he will not return to action in 2025. Coach Rösler confirmed the surgery but did not provide a specific timeline for the player’s comeback.
Bochum enters the match without several key players, including Holtmann for the long term. A win would help secure their position above the relegation battle. The team’s preparation and mental resilience will be tested against Bielefeld.
