Timo Hübers set back again after second knee operation

According to Kicker, Timo Hübers is still sidelined after a serious knee injury sustained last autumn. The center-back had already needed surgery at the time, but his rehabilitation has required further medical intervention.

As the outlet notes, Hübers has now been operated on a second time to address the same issue. With this additional procedure, the timetable for a comeback is pushed back.

From here, the key factor will be how the recovery progresses in the coming weeks: treatment outcomes will dictate when he can begin more football-specific work and eventually return to training.

For Kicker, the fact that a second operation was necessary underlines that the knee still needed extra work before a reliable return to matches.
