Vladimír Darida out injured

Our number six received some bad news on Monday. After noticing some pains above his knee joint, a medical examination showed that the midfielder has suffered an injury to his thigh bone. The former Czech Republic international is therefore ruled out of training for the coming days, and is unlikely to feature in the Berlin derby.

The 31-year-old has been at Hertha since 2015, playing 167 times in all competitions for the Old Lady, scoring 14 goals and assisting a further 26. This term, the hard-working midfielder has featured seven times in the Bundesliga, creating three goals, whilst he has also appeared in both DFB-Pokal matches. Wishing you a speedy recovery, Vladi!
