Jan-Niklas Beste Injury: Misses opener Saturday

Beste (strain) is ruled out for Saturday's season opener against Augsburg due to muscular problems, the club announced.

Beste has been ruled out of Saturday's season opener against Augsburg due to muscular problems. The versatile midfielder will likely be assessed in the coming days to know the extent of the issue and if he has to miss some time. That said, he is not expected to hold more than a rotational role this season with the black forest club, meaning his absence does not impact the starting XI.
