Beating the Storm: Nielsen's Return to the Pitch

Braving the wind during their final training session, Hanover 96's squad navigated potential storm damage left from their previous match against Hannover 96. Fortunately, the storm did not wreak the same havoc.

Havard Nielsen in Action

Despite a setback for Cedric Teuchert (26) due to lingering thigh issues, the team's top scorer (eight goals), Havard Nielsen (30) is cleared to play. After a bout with cold symptoms that forced him to miss a practice session, Nielsen successfully underwent health checks and re-joined training on Wednesday.

Unfortunately, Teuchert's recovery remains elusive. The squad will continue to feel his absence; he has missed games against Braunschweig and St. Pauli due to the same injury he sustained during the Schalke match (2:3).

Hope for Teuchert's Swift Recovery

Stefan Leitl expressed optimism about Teuchert's prospects of returning soon: "Cedi is very hard-working, he really wants to. We'll try to make sure he's available again for the next game in Paderborn."

Marcel Halstenberg (32) and Bright Arrey-Mbi (20) are available for selection, having successfully recovered from their minor injuries and benefitting from post-international matches rest. Sporting director Marcus Mann (38) ensured Arrey-Mbi's swift reintegration into the team, picking him up from the U21 international match (3:1 against Poland) in Essen.

  1. Regardless of the challenges that Hanover 96's squad faces, their spirit and determination remain unwavering. Teuchert's absence has left a significant void, but the team's resilience and optimism continue to shine.
  2. The National Football League in Germany, known as the Bundesliga, boasts a number of exciting teams and matches that draw avid football fans across the country and beyond. Hanover 96 is one of those teams, and their supporters stay tuned for updates on their games in the second league.
