Demme laments over another swindle he's encountered.
Hertha BSC, the favourite for promotion to the Bundesliga, is set to face Karlsruhe SC at the Olympic Stadium this weekend. The team is eager to establish a home win in the new season, with around 60,000 fans expected to attend the match.
However, the team faces a few setbacks due to injuries. Coach Stefan Leitl announced that midfielders Diego Demme and Michal Karbownik are likely to miss the game. Demme has been undergoing tests to determine the extent of his injury after complaining of dizziness and twisting his ankle during training. Karbownik, on the other hand, has a sprained ankle from a training incident.
Demme's absence may pave the way for Leon Jensen, a new signing, to start in his place. Jensen, who is more offensively minded than Demme, could bring a fresh dynamic to the midfield. Meanwhile, Linus Gechter, who missed the previous game due to a suspension, will return to the three-man defense for the match against Karlsruhe SC.
Despite the injuries, Leitl remains optimistic about the new season. He rates Kennet Eichhorn stronger on the defensive midfielder position than Boris Lum, and Eichhorn could be an option for the squad. Eichhorn, a youth prospect, is also the youngest player in the history of the second division if he plays.
The game against Karlsruhe SC presents an opportunity for Berlin to celebrate its first win of the season and to live up to its status as a favourite for promotion to the Bundesliga. The team is determined to put last season's disappointing home record behind them, where they were the worst home team in the league, winning only four times at the Olympic Stadium.
For the latest update on Diego Demme's injury, it is best to check Hertha BSC’s official website or recent club announcements, as the available data does not cover his injury status or return timeline.
Despite the injuries to key midfielders Diego Demme and Michal Karbownik, Hertha BSC is eager to make a strong start in their European football journey, particularly in the football league of Germany, the Bundesliga. Leon Jensen, a new signing, is expected to fill Demme's void in the midfield, potentially bringing a fresh dynamic to the team's gameplay.
