Thorough examinations have revealed that the injury requires surgery to repair the torn ligaments in the affected shoulder. The operation is taking place today at the Stuttgart Sports Clinic. As a result, Silas will be out for three to four months and won‘t be available again for VfB this season.
VfB sporting director Sven Mislintat:
“This is awful news for Silas and VfB. Silas was getting back to his best after his cruciate ligament tear, so this new injury is a bitter blow. We’ll support Silas on the road to recovery and do everything to still achieve our season’s target without him.”
