Gerhardt damages knee ligaments

Midfielder heads back to Wolfsburg for treatment.

VfL Wolfsburg will have to do without Yannick Gerhardt for the next few weeks, after the midfielder was forced out of their 7-1 friendly win away to WSG Tirol on Saturday as early as the sixth minute.

The initial diagnosis at a local hospital was ligament damage to his left knee. The 28-year-old is set to leave the training camp in Seefeld today (Sunday) and return home for treatment. We obviously wish Yannick all the best for a speedy recovery.
