At short-notice, ahead of last Saturday’s away clash with Eintracht Frankfurt, Ailton was removed from the squad. The Brazilian picked up an injury during the final pre-match training session on Friday and was subsequently not available to coach Hannes Wolf for the Bundesliga tie.
An extensive examination revealed that the 22-year-old had suffered a torn ligament in his right ankle. The left full-back is duly expected to be kept out of team training with the injury for approximately ten days.
VfB wish Ailton all the very best for a speedy recovery and hope to see him back amongst his team mates very soon.
