VfL Wolfsburg Faces Injury Crisis as Jonas Wind Sustains Thigh Injury

Kicker and the local Wolfsburger Allgemeine Zeitung are reporting concurrently that VfL Wolfsburg striker Jonas Wind has sustained a potentially serious thigh injury. As a result, the Danish forward will be unavailable for this weekend’s Bundesliga match against Eintracht Frankfurt. Both sources indicate that Wind is currently undergoing extensive medical evaluations to ascertain the duration of his absence.

This injury news adds to Wolfsburg’s existing challenges, as the club enters a hectic final few weeks of the calendar year without a head coach or sporting director. Over the weekend, Wolfsburg’s attempts to recruit Andreas Schicker from Hoffenheim for the vacant sporting director position officially fell through.

Under normal circumstances, Wind’s absence (he has yet to score for Wolfsburg this season) might not be considered a critical blow. However, Kicker reports that Wind’s compatriot Adam Daghi, who has scored twice for the Wolves this season, may also face an indefinite sidelining due to adductor issues.

Additionally, the only other attacker to find the net for die Wölfe, Mohamed Amoura, is set to join the Algeria national team for the Africa Cup of Nations. The 25-year-old has expressed a desire to leave Wolfsburg and may seek a transfer during the upcoming January window.

Meanwhile, twenty-year-old striker Dzenan Pejcinovic, who netted a hat-trick in Wolfsburg’s opening round Pokal victory and has seen success with the Germany U21 team, is still in search of his first Bundesliga goal.
