On Saturday, Hamburg and Hannover 96 played to a 0-0 draw. Hamburg needed to come away from this match with all three points in order to keep pace with Mainz 05 and Nürnberg for the final Europa League place awarded to the German Bundesliga. Only getting one point may not be the worst part of the match. According to Ruud van Nistelrooy’s Twitter account, he suffered a calf injury at some point during the match.
Ruud van Nistelrooy Injury: Hamburg Striker Suffers Calf Injury
Our game ended 0-0. We tried everything but it wasn't ment to be. Picked up a calf injury as well.. Will keep you informed.
If you’re a Hamburg supporter, you have to be hoping that this is just something minor that goes away in a day or two. Ruud is their second leading goalscorer this year, and he is always a threat when he’s in the goal box. They don’t want to have to rely on José Paolo Guerrero to partner Mladen Petric, do they?
