Est. Return 9/20/2026
Facing weeks on sidelines
Gantenbein will be sidelined for several weeks after suffering a right ankle injury during Saturday's friendly against Fagiano Okayama, according to the club.
ANALYSIS
Gantenbein sustained an ankle injury in a tackle shortly after coming on as a substitute, which has been officially confirmed as a syndesmosis issue, with recovery estimates ranging from several weeks to as much as three months. Even the more optimistic six-week timeline would rule him out of the DFB-Pokal clash with Hallescher FC and the Bundesliga opener at FC Augsburg. This continues a difficult run for the 25-year-old, who already missed 13 league games last season due to recurring calf trouble.
