Hertha Berlin suffers a training setback as Deyovaisio Zeefuik injures Jon Dagur Thorsteinsson. The incident occurred during a small-sided game on the Schenckendorffplatz. Zeefuik fouled Thorsteinsson on the outside line from the opposing training team. The Icelandic player went down screaming, holding his right knee. Thorsteinsson stood up briefly, hobbled a few meters further, and then went down again with pain. It was clear: his training was over. While Zeefuik apologized for his overzealous tackle, the injured player made his way to the golf cart, where his knee was first cooled and then bandaged by physiotherapist Maximilian Plachel. Then the playmaker was taken to the treatment room with slumped shoulders and a sad expression. Shortly afterwards, the training was also over. Now it's a case of crossing fingers that it's just a bruise. Thorsteinsson was last substituted in the 63rd minute in Bochum, where he came on for Soufian Gouram (20) and saved the win with great passion. His absence would hit Hertha hard. With Kian Todorovic already missing a midfielder due to a suspected muscle tear (BILD reported). Hertha's hope: Icelandic Thorsteinsson is considered a similarly hard player as Zeefuik. If there is no serious injury, he will certainly be back on the pitch soon. Until the home game against Heidenheim on Saturday (13:00), there is still time. Then Marten Winkler (ankle) and Paul Seguin (ill) will also join in, who had to miss the team training on Tuesday. In contrast, the previously robust defender Niklas Kolbe (29) is back after a blow to the shin.
