The fears have come true: VfB Stuttgart confirm that Luca Jaquez broke his nasal bone in the Bundesliga match against Union Berlin on Saturday.
It is not yet clear how long the Lucerne defender will be out for. Further examinations are planned for the beginning of the week to determine how to proceed.
Jaquez was injured in a mid-air duel with Union striker Andrej Ilic. The 22-year-old was unable to continue playing and had to leave the field with a bleeding nose in the 88th minute.
