Dangerous game on Friday: In addition to Heidenheim goalkeeper Kevin Müller, Bochum’s Philipp Hofmann was seriously injured. Operation prevented worse.
Attacker Philipp Hofmann will no longer be available to the acute relegation-threatened VfL Bochum this season in the Bundesliga. The attacker suffered a fracture of ribs at 0-0 against 1. FC Heidenheim in a collision with opponent Marvin Pieringer, as the club announced the day after the duel. Because the rib drilled into the rib fur, it also triggered a lung collapse. Such an injury could be “quite life -threatening”, it said.
Hofmann has now been operated on. The lungs were made functional again during the procedure. However, the 32-year-old had to stay in the clinic in Heidenheim for the time being until he is transportable.
