Deniz Undav Out for Remainder of Year

Stuttgart forward Deniz Undav is set to miss the remainder of the year due to a muscle tear sustained during training, leaving coach Sebastian Hoeness uncertain about his return before the winter break. The 28-year-old, who has scored five goals in nine Bundesliga matches this season, had previously injured the same hamstring during a Champions League match against Atalanta. His absence adds to Stuttgart's injury woes, which include several key players. Stuttgart currently sits 11th in the Bundesliga, with Undav having been a crucial part of their attack following the departure of top scorer Serhou Guirassy. The club has faced challenges in both domestic and European competitions, struggling to secure qualification spots. Undav's injury is a significant blow to a team aiming to improve their standing in the league and make an impact in the Champions League.
