Further examinations were still pending on Sunday. The right-back was fouled with serious consequences in the 4-0 defeat at Bayer Leverkusen by Mitchel Bakker shortly before the break in the penalty area. The break for Stuttgart striker Sasa Kalajdzic will be about two months, as reported by the “kicker”.
The second round of the German Bundesliga brought ÖFB team boss Franco Foda two bad news. He will have to do without Lainer and striker Sasa Kalajdzic for the upcoming games in World Cup qualification. The Stuttgart striker Kalajdzic suffered a shoulder injury in the 4-0 draw at RB Leipzig on Friday.
And that is more serious than assumed, as the “kicker” reports. The investigations on Saturday would have shown that Kalajdzic will be out for at least two months. Whether an operation is necessary has not yet been conclusively clarified. However, the Stuttgart-based company is active in the transfer market. “Perhaps the market will provide an opportunity that would fit into our budget,” sports director sports director Sven Mislintat is quoted on the “Kicker” website.
