Max Kruse suffers a severe muscle injury

Max Kruse, who was excluded from VfL Wolfsburg games, now has to take a break from training.

The ex-national player, who fell out of favor with coach Niko Kovac, had to abandon a training session on Tuesday and sustained a “serious muscle injury” in his left thigh. VfL confirms this SID on Wednesday on request.

According to the club, Kruse will not be available for “several weeks”.

Kovac announced two weeks ago that Kruse, despite a contract, would not play a game for Lower Saxony until the end of the season and justified this measure with his lack of identification with the club. However, the offensive player was still allowed to take part in training.

Kruse wanted to keep fit in Wolfsburg in order to leave VfL after the first half of the season and start at a new club in January. But the training will also take place without him until further notice.
