Fresh thigh strain sidelines Denmark's Wind from VfL Wolfsburg for lengthy absence

"Prospects are bleak for Jonas Wind. The forward faces a prolonged spell on the sidelines after sustaining another muscular issue", the manager stated during a media briefing, as shared on Wolfsburg's X account.

The Denmark international has endured a series of setbacks, returning to peak condition just a month back following an extended layoff.

Back in November, the player underwent an operation for a damaged thigh muscle, and unfortunately, he has now encountered a similar problem once more.

Reports from local outlet Wolfsburger Allgemeine indicate that the issue centres on his right thigh this time around.

Jonas Wind marked the end of a 330 day drought by netting against Bayer Leverkusen over the recent weekend.

For the current campaign, Wind has featured in 11 matches for beleaguered Wolfsburg, a side grappling with the threat of dropping out of the Bundesliga.
