FC St. Pauli: Captain Irvine fights with injury in the season finale!

FC St. Pauli is severely impaired in his last game of the year against VfB Stuttgart. According to coach Alexander Blessin, the problems in the team are significant: eight players have been injured for a long time, and this week, defense chief Eric Smith joined calf problems. However, Captain Jackson Irvine, who has been playing with an injury for two weeks, attracts special attention. "I didn't even know that there was the muscle," Blessin admits during the press conference before the decisive match on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. This injury is uncomfortable, but Irvine does not restrict it so much that it would have to be excluded from the game, such as n-tv.de reported.

Blessin also commented on the joy of commitment of his captain: Irvine is one of the players who go to the maximum. His tireless effort and the great physical stress, which he has already mastered this season, definitely deserve respect. The upcoming winter break for the Australian will be all the more important to cure the muscular problems. Blessin realistically evaluates the situation: "It is annoying and with certain movements it draws", but he assures that there is no long -term danger to Irvine as long as he continues to play. The next ten days will be decisive and the trainer hopes for a quick recovery before the start of the new year, as well as nwzonline holds.
