Overview

  • Elias Saad sustained a structural muscle injury in his right thigh during warm-ups before the match against VfB Stuttgart, confirmed by an MRI at ENDO Klinik.
  • The 24-year-old will miss the final two games of the 2024/25 season, leaving St. Pauli further depleted in their bid to secure Bundesliga safety.
  • This marks Saad's second extended absence of the season, following an ankle injury that sidelined him from October to January.
  • St. Pauli's squad is already strained, with captain Jackson Irvine, Karol Mets, and James Sands also unavailable due to injuries, and their goalkeeper suspended.
  • The team requires just one point from their remaining fixtures against Eintracht Frankfurt and VfL Bochum to avoid relegation.
