Also that: After his demotion at VfL Wolfsburg, Max Kruse has now seriously injured himself – that could have an impact on the club search.

"Get out of the way" - the women's soccer podcast of 90 minutes. In the latest episode we look at the findings of the Bundesliga season start.

Two weeks ago, Niko Kovac made it clear that Max Kruse would no longer play a game for VfL Wolfsburg under his leadership. Instead, the 34-year-old is only tolerated by the wolves during training, where, to make matters worse, he has now seriously injured himself.

Kruse clashed with youth goalkeeper Philipp Schulze on Tuesday and then landed unhappily. According to the image, the playmaker suffered a "severe muscle injury" on his thigh. In 2022, not only the game but also the training will be over prematurely for him.

Of course, this is not good news for VfL Wolfsburg, after all, they want to sell the well-paid Kruse in winter after a premature termination of the contract fell through. The only question is which club would like to sign Kruse, who is not a prime example of fitness anyway, after such a long break. "The current injury could deter interested parties," writes the picture.
