Football – Frankfurt am Main – Serious injury: Fürth threatens to fail Meyerhöfer – Sport

Frankfurt / Main (AP) – Bundesliga promoted Greuther Fürth is threatened with a long absence from defensive player Marco Meyerhöfer. The 26-year-old apparently suffered a serious ankle injury in the final stages of the 0-0 draw at Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday and had to be carried off the field on a stretcher. His opponent Jens Petter looked extremely emotional after the direct duel. In the otherwise noisy World Cup arena from 2006, it suddenly became quiet. Meyerhöfer sent a small hand signal from the stretcher, applause erupted. A diagnosis was initially pending.
