Vice-Captain Knipping had twisted the knee at a defense attempt, he had stuck in the ground. For him, Sebastian Mai came to the game in the 17th minute. Investigations on Sunday gave both a cruciate ligament and inner band rupture in the right knee. In addition, the interior man discussion was affected, it says in a message of the club.

For the 28-year-old, this means a monthly break. The central defender had previously played completely in the three games and knew fully to convince (Ralf Becker average grade 1.83, a gate, a template). This failure weighs very hard for us, because Tim is a very important anchor in our team with his qualities as a human being and leadership, says Managing Director Ralf Becker.

Knipping came to the elasters last summer, with whom rightly suddenly the hoped second league return succeeded. He was trained at Hessen Kassel, after stations in Saarbrücken and at Mönchengladbach II he managed to jump in the 2nd league at SV Sandhausen in 2017. From there he moved to Regensburg 2019, before a year later the change to Dynamo followed.

For him it is not the first serious injury: Already in May 2018 he had broken his lower leg and would have lost his leg as a result of complications about a hair. Tim has already mastered so many special challenges as a footballer and man in his life, he will create this time with the support of all in our team, says Becker.
