Elpermann is out until the winter break – SC Spelle-Venhaus is in trouble!
Shock for SC Spelle-Venhaus: defender Jan-Hubert Elpermann will be out until the winter break. The 32-year-old is suffering from persistent ankle problems that he suffered in the friendly against VfL Lohne. Despite this pain, Elpermann fought bravely in the following matches against Lüneburg, Delmenhorst and Bersenbrück and tried to help his team. However, he had to leave the field in the final phase of the last game against Germania Egestorf/Langreder, which caused the concern of coach Henry Hupe. However, he is pleased with the promising rehab and hopes that Elpermann can be back on the pitch next January. The loss of the experienced defender also adds to the club's already long injury list.
SC Spelle-Venhaus is currently in midfield in the Lower Saxony Oberliga and is looking positively into the future with two upcoming home games. On Thursday at 8 p.m. the team will play against TSV Wetschen, while on Sunday at 2 p.m. SV Wilhelmshaven will be guests. Both games will take place in the stadium on Venhauser Straße, and coach Hupe will have to adapt the defensive concept at short notice in order to deal with the challenges of the injury list.
Red card and suspension
But that's not the only bad news for Elpermann. The Lower Saxony Football Association suspended him for one game after he received a red card in the 22nd minute of the game against Lupo Martini Wolfsburg. Referee Alexander Rosenhagen decided that Elpermann was holding on to his opponent Elia Cirrone's jersey. This decision not only led to a penalty, which was missed by Wolfsburg, but also to an early end for Elpermann in the game, which ended 2-2. He already served his ban last Friday in the game against BSV Rehden, where the team also achieved a draw.
Fortunately, coach Hupe Elpermann can play again on Saturday against newly promoted Lüneburg, which will provide a breath of fresh air in the team. However, Jost Krone will miss the next game as he received a yellow-red card in stoppage time against Rehden. The tension remains high as the team tries to overcome its injury problems and tackle the next challenges in the top league with full vigor.
The coming games will be crucial to continue the season successfully and the fans are hoping for a strong performance from their team to put the minor setbacks behind them and resume the fight for the top places in the table.
