Shock before North Derby: St. Pauli captain Jackson Irvine out again - FC St. Pauli captain Jackson Irvine sidelined indefinitely with foot injury
FC St. Pauli captain Jackson Irvine will miss upcoming matches due to a left foot injury. The club confirmed he will remain sidelined indefinitely. His absence comes just before the team's northern derby against VfL Wolfsburg.
Irvine's latest setback follows surgery on the same foot in April 2025. That procedure kept him out for nearly six months last season. His return in October 2024 had previously boosted the team, ending a nine-game losing streak in the Bundesliga.
The club has not provided details on the cause of the new injury. No medical staff or collaborators have been named in connection with the ongoing issue. FC St. Pauli's statement only confirmed that Irvine would not be available for selection in the near future.
The injury leaves St. Pauli without their leader for key fixtures. Irvine's recovery timeline remains unclear, and the team must now adjust without him. His absence could impact their performance in the coming weeks.
