VfL Bochum advances in DFB-Pokal despite major injury setbacks
VfL Bochum secured a 2-1 victory against Greuther Fürth in the DFB-Pokal, highlighted by a debut goal from striker Christian Rasmussen. Rasmussen scored the opening goal from approximately 18 meters, earning praise from coach Uwe Rösler for his performance and potential role in the upcoming season.
However, the victory was tempered by significant injury concerns in the defense. Right-back Jean Manuel Mbom suffered an ankle injury that is expected to sideline him for several months, potentially requiring surgery. Additionally, Oliver Olsen sustained an injury during the match, though reports suggest he may return to training sooner than Mbom if his recovery proceeds normally. The loss of both primary right-backs has prompted discussions regarding the depth of the Bochum squad ahead of their next match against Osnabrück.
