Andreas Hountondji Injury: Muscular injury proves minor

Hountondji (undisclosed) suffered a muscular injury in Saturday's clash against Bayern that proved to be minor, coach Alexander Blessin said in a press conference. "It's not as serious as initially feared. He has a minor muscle injury. He will definitely miss tomorrow's match. We'll see after that."

Hountondji suffered a muscular injury against Bayern on Saturday that revealed to be only minor after undergoing scans over the weekend. The striker won't be available for the midweek DFB Pokal game but could be back available for Saturday's clash against Koln if his evolution is positive this week. Hountondji started the last two games and scored against Bayern, suggesting he should hold a starting role for St. Pauli once fully back fit.
