German-born Ghanaian striker Moritz-Broni Kwarteng faces a setback in his season campaign as he received a red card during last weekend’s heated match against RB Leipzig.
The DFB swiftly enforced the consequences of his dismissal on Tuesday, imposing a penalty that will keep Kwarteng out of three crucial Bundesliga games.
The 25-year-old offensive player, known for his agility and strategic play, will be sorely missed by VfL Bochum as they prepare to face tough opponents in the upcoming weeks.
With clashes against SC Freiburg, 1. FSV Mainz 05, and SV Darmstadt 98 looming, Kwarteng’s absence leaves a notable gap in the team’s offensive lineup.
The offensive player also found himself on the receiving end of a harsh tackle in the game, leading to a partial tear of the medial ligament in his knee.
The repercussions were severe, with Kwarteng now facing a lengthy recovery process that will see him sidelined for the remainder of the season. Bochum confirmed that Kwarteng’s injury necessitates a week-long break, effectively ruling him out for the foreseeable future.
Kwarteng has made eleven appearances and assisted one goal in the Bundesliga this season.
