Wolfsburg Without Top Scorer Pejcinovic Against Heidenheim - Wolfsburg’s top scorer out as Amoura steps up for Heidenheim clash

VfL Wolfsburg will face 1. FC Heidenheim on Saturday without their top scorer, Dzenan Pejčinović. The striker has been ruled out due to a foot injury, forcing coach Daniel Bauer to adjust his starting lineup. Mohammed Amoura will take his place in the attack for the Bundesliga clash.

Pejčinović has been a key player for Wolfsburg this season, scoring five of their last six goals. His absence leaves a gap in the team’s offensive line. The injury is expected to keep him sidelined for only a short period, but he will miss the match against the league’s bottom-placed side.

Amoura, Wolfsburg’s leading scorer with six goals this season, steps in as his replacement. Coach Bauer has opted to start the forward, hoping his form will help secure a positive result. The team will rely on Amoura’s attacking threat as they aim to strengthen their position in the table.

Heidenheim, currently last in the Bundesliga, will face a Wolfsburg side missing one of their most in-form players. The absence of Pejčinović could impact Wolfsburg’s ability to break down a determined defence.

The match will test Wolfsburg’s depth as they adapt without their leading goalscorer. Amoura’s performance will be crucial in determining whether the team can maintain their momentum. The result could also influence Heidenheim’s fight to avoid relegation.
