1. FC Magdeburg midfielder Torben Müsel will miss the upcoming away match against Arminia Bielefeld on November 20 following a muscle fiber tear, according to a report by magdeburg-fussball.de.
The injury occurred during the final phase of a match last Sunday.
The team’s head coach, Petrik Sander, provided the update on the sidelines of a 3-0 test match loss against VfL Osnabrück in Barsinghausen on Thursday. While Müsel is sidelined, the club expects a return for two other midfielders, Falko Michel and Moritz-Broni Kwarteng, who have both been out of action recently.
“We are in good spirits and hope that we will get further with Falko and Momo,” Sander told magdeburg-fussball.de.
Both players missed the 4-1 league victory over FC St. Pauli.
Regarding Müsel, who has been a consistent starter, the coach offered a slight sense of relief despite the player’s absence for the next fixture.
“Thank God it is only a normal muscle fiber tear, with which he will hopefully not be out for too long,” Sander said to magdeburg-fussball.de.
Kwarteng is expected to resume team training next week.
The 1. FC Magdeburg squad is preparing for the away game at Arminia Bielefeld scheduled for November 20 at 6:30 p.m. While Müsel is ruled out for this date, the potential availability of Michel and Kwarteng remains the primary focus for the coaching staff as they navigate the current injury list.
