VfL Wolfsburg will be without new acquisition Timon Wellenreuther for several weeks due to a knee injury sustained during a recent friendly. The goalkeeper suffered the injury in the match against Olympique Lyon.
Following medical examinations, it was determined that surgery is not required. However, the club anticipates the 30-year-old will be sidelined for an extended period.
Wellenreuther recently joined VfL Wolfsburg from Feyenoord Rotterdam, marking his return to German football after a nine-year absence. He signed a contract until 2029 and was expected to be the team's primary goalkeeper.
This injury impacts Wolfsburg's significant goalkeeper changes this summer, as other keepers have already departed or are expected to leave.
