Aalens Kienle in the hospital as a precaution

After the game was abandoned in the Regionalliga Südwest, the unconscious footballer Steffen Kienle from VfR Aalen is doing “according to the circumstances”. The club announced this on Saturday. The game on Friday evening between TSG Hoffenheim II and Aalen was stopped after almost an hour in Sinsheim because Kienle hit the goal post during an attack and fell unconscious. The striker will remain in hospital for a few days for observation and further tests.

The Aalen team expressly thanked the Hoffenheim team doctor, the first aiders on site and the referee team for their quick action and help. “We assume that his chest hit the post. When I arrived, the player was unconscious and didn’t react. We started resuscitation quickly. Luckily he came right back,” said Hoffenheim team doctor Yannic Bangert in a statement from TSG.

The game was rescheduled for next Tuesday (7:00 p.m.) from the kick-off.
