Hannover 96 Battles On Despite Injuries
Stormy weather at Hannover 96 - Only Voglsammer Trains Fully
The game against Paderborn didn't go as planned for Hannover 96. Captain Havard Nielsen (30) struggled with a severe cough, but managed to complete the full 96 minutes despite feeling under the weather. Coach Stefan Leitl (46) explained, "He was a bit under the weather before the game, but he put in a commendable performance."
Nicolo Tresoldi (19) returned to the pitch after his training accident, practicing with the team for a large portion of the game. However, he was held back from participating in the final shoot-out to protect his injured ankle. Leitl said, "We didn't want him to sustain any more hard knocks on his ankle during shooting."
Teuchert Runs with Fitness Coach
Central midfielder, Cedric Teuchert (26), has been sidelined for weeks due to mysterious thigh problems. In an attempt to speed up his recovery, he did some solo running laps with fitness coach Markus Böker in the morning.
Andreas Voglsammer (31) was the only striker in full training. Leitl confirmed, "He should get some support by Wednesday." Meanwhile, Nielsen and Tresoldi are expected to return to the pitch soon.
Testing Scott's Back
Leitl is also testing Christopher Scott (21), who recently overcame back problems. After the training session, Scott ran on the pitch to test his back's condition. Leitl reported, "We tested how his back is. The feedback was positive. He now needs to complete a few more runs and incorporate changes of direction to pass the final test for team training on Wednesday."
Scott is among the top contenders to replace the suspended Louis Schaub (28).
