- Individuals Sustaining Injuries Lead to Extended Layoff in Elversberg
The encounter between SV Elversberg and Darmstadt 98 was temporarily put on hold due to a medical incident on the pitch. Elversberg's defender Florian Le Joncour stumbled incorrectly on his arm following a header collision, indicating a possible severe wound. He was attended to on the spot for several minutes, seemingly in substantial agony, with an on-field anesthetic administered as well. The game halted for around 20 minutes.
Authorities draped the penalty area in towels as medical staff tended to Le Joncour. He was later recognized with applause as he was carried off the field on a stretcher and transported from the arena by ambulance. At the point of the interruption, Elversberg was in the lead with a score of 3:0.
After the pause in the game due to Le Joncour's injury, the referee announced that the match would resume once the medical team gave the go-ahead. Other facilities, including portable toilets and warm-up areas, were temporarily used to allow the players to relieve themselves or stretch, as the break was expected to last longer than usual.
