Cruciate ligament injury: Berliner Korina Janez out for a long time - Union Berlin’s Korina Janez suffers season-ending ACL tear in Bundesliga clash
Bundesliga has been struck by a wave of ACL injuries, with nearly a dozen players affected since early July. Among them is Bayern Munich's Lena Oberdorf, and most recently, 1. FC Union Berlin's Korina Janez.
Janez, a crucial player for Union Berlin, suffered an ACL tear during a Bundesliga match against Werder Bremen. The injury occurred without any contact, adding to the shock and concern. She is expected to undergo surgery soon, which will likely keep her out for an extended period.
To compensate for Janez's absence, Union Berlin has listed Weronika Zawistowska and Vanessa Leimenstoll as replacement players. Both are ready to step up and fill the void during Janez's recovery.
Janez's ACL tear is a significant blow to Union Berlin's squad. Her upcoming surgery and subsequent rehabilitation will keep her off the field for some time. The club, however, has prepared for such eventualities, with Zawistowska and Leimenstoll ready to take on increased responsibilities.
