German-born Ghanaian footballer, Patric Pfeiffer, is causing worry for FC Augsburg as they prepare for a crucial Bundesliga match against FC Heidenheim this Saturday.
Pfeiffer, who has been dealing with a nagging thigh injury for the past two and a half weeks, is still restricted to specialized training sessions, as reported by the Augsburger Allgemeine.
Despite his dedicated efforts on the field this Tuesday, Pfeiffer's availability for the upcoming game remains uncertain pending a final evaluation later in the week. If given the all-clear by medical experts, there's a chance Pfeiffer could return to full team training in the coming days, offering some hope for Augsburg supporters.
The team has keenly felt the absence of the influential defender in recent matches, experiencing losses against Mainz but also securing victories against Freiburg and Darmstadt during his absence.
So far this season, Pfeiffer has participated in six Bundesliga matches and contributed one assist, showcasing his importance to the team.
