Football European Championship: Finn Jeltsch of VfB Stuttgart Leaves U21 Camp due to Injury
German defender Finn Jeltsch, a rising talent from VfB Stuttgart, has temporarily departed the U21 preparatory camp in Thuringia, two weeks ahead of the Football European Championship. The 18-year-old central defender is currently grappling with an inflammation in his lower leg, as announced by the DFB Cup champions, VfB Stuttgart. The club did not divulge the length of Jeltsch's break from the Bundesliga side.
Initially called up to the preliminary squad for the tournament in Slovenia slated from June 11 to June 28, Jeltsch's participation in the U21 team's European Championship is now uncertain due to his lower leg inflammation. The U21 squad is currently honing their skills in the Thuringian town of Blankenhain in preparation for the forthcoming tournament.
The enforced absence of Jeltsch, who has been in fine form for his club, Stuttgart, comes at a crucial time as the U21 team gear up for the European Championship.
