"Shock and Pain": Wiede shares emotional Instagram post - Füchse Berlin's Fabian Wiede Out for Season With ACL Injury
Füchse Berlin faces a challenge as key player Fabian Wiede is out for the season with an ACL injury. The team has yet to seek a replacement, focusing instead on internal adjustments to cope without him.
Wiede's injury occurred last week during a Champions League match, following an aerial duel that ended in an unfortunate landing. He was subsequently carried off the court on a stretcher. The 28-year-old left back expressed his disappointment, shock, and pain in an Instagram post, marking his first public statement since the incident.
Wiede's absence has already made an impact, with Füchse Berlin struggling in defense during their defeat to HSV Hamburg. Despite previous injuries, Wiede felt he had finally overcome them, making this latest setback particularly disappointing. Coach Nicolej Krickau has acknowledged the challenge, stating that the team will need to reorganize to compensate for Wiede's absence. The club is currently discussing whether to sign a replacement or find an in-house solution during the international break.
Fabian Wiede will not return to the court for Füchse Berlin this season, leaving a significant void in the team's defense. The club is exploring options to fill the gap, with a decision expected during the international break. Meanwhile, Wiede's recovery process begins, with the hope of a return to the court in the future.
