Overview
- Club exams on Monday diagnosed a shin-bone injury and ruled out a cruciate ligament tear.
- The 21-year-old will miss Sunday's finale at Karlsruher SC and the early phase of preseason testing in late June.
- Treatment will be non-surgical, with several weeks of reduced load followed by a careful build-up in training.
- Pannewig was hurt in the 13th minute against Hannover 96 after a clash with Boris Tomiak and left the field with help from staff.
- Coach Uwe Rösler sees him as a midfield cornerstone under contract through 2028, so his layoff raises short-term need for central midfield signings.
