Denmark's Joachim Maehle Suffers Serious Shoulder Injury in Training
Wolfsburg confirms Joachim Maehle's serious shoulder injury, leaving Denmark's World Cup hopes in doubt.
Maehle's absence will likely be a significant blow to Denmark's World Cup qualification chances...
Denmark's World Cup qualifying campaign has hit a significant roadblock with Joachim Maehle's indefinite absence due to a serious shoulder injury. The 28-year-old Wolfsburg defender suffered a “serious shoulder injury” in training on Wednesday and has been ruled out for an indefinite period.
Maehle's absence will be deeply felt by the Danish national team, especially with crucial World Cup qualifiers against Belarus and Scotland scheduled for mid-November. He has been a regular fixture in Wolfsburg's lineup this season and played the full 90 minutes in three of Denmark's four World Cup qualifiers this autumn.
Wolfsburg, meanwhile, is navigating a challenging phase, having managed only one win in their last nine matches. The team was also eliminated from the DFB-Pokal earlier this week following a 1-0 defeat to Holstein Kiel. Maehle's injury adds to the team's woes, and they will likely rely on Aaron Zehnter to fill in at left-back until his return.
Wolfsburg has officially confirmed that Joakim Maehle has suffered a serious shoulder injury during a training session. The club announced that Maehle was immediately taken to the hospital for further examination.

Doctors have concluded that Maehle's injury is a serious shoulder issue, but Wolfsburg hasn't provided a specific timeline for his return. The 28-year-old has been a regular player for Wolfsburg this season and has also been a key player for Denmark's national team.
Maehle's absence will likely be a significant blow to Denmark's World Cup qualification chances. He has played full-time in three out of four World Cup qualifiers this autumn and is expected to miss the upcoming matches against Belarus and Scotland.
Denmark's next challenge will be in mid-November, when they'll face Belarus and Scotland in crucial World Cup qualifiers. Joachim Maehle's injury is a significant blow to the team, given his consistent performances in recent qualifiers.
Wolfsburg, meanwhile, is facing a tough period, with only one win in their last nine matches. The team was also eliminated from the cup tournament after a 1-0 defeat to Holstein-Kiel on Tuesday, adding to their woes. The absence of Maehle will only exacerbate their defensive issues.
