Freiburg Faces Injury Crisis Before Trabzonspor Conference League Clash

Freiburg is dealing with multiple injury concerns ahead of its UEFA Conference League match against Trabzonspor at Papara Park on Thursday, November 5. The German side's technical staff is struggling to finalize the squad for the difficult away fixture.

Defender Philipp Treu is receiving treatment for an ankle and capsule injury, and his availability will be decided after final training and health checks. Fellow defender Lukas Kübler also remains doubtful after being forced off following a heavy blow during the Augsburg match.

“Trabzonspor is aiming to make it three out of three in the Conference League and keep its last 16 hopes alive.”

Attacking midfielder Florent Muslija has been ruled out for the game due to a long-term cruciate ligament injury. Freiburg's coach is now considering defensive alternatives depending on the fitness of Treu and Kübler.

Trabzonspor, currently fourth with six points from two wins, is aiming for a third consecutive victory to reach the last 16. The team is relying on key players including Salah, Onana, Onuachu, Saviolo, and Muçi.

Salah has contributed two goals and two assists in the first two Conference League matches. Meanwhile, Albania's Ernest Muçi has been providing assists, and goalkeeper Onana is expected to keep a clean sheet based on his high save percentage in the Turkish Super Lig.
