VfB Stuttgart head coach Sebastian Hoeneß will be without his team’s leading Bundesliga goalscorer for Friday evening’s home encounter against Borussia Mönchengladbach. Right-back Josha Vagnoman faces several weeks on the sidelines after sustaining a muscular injury during Tuesday’s 1-1 Champions League draw against Atlético Madrid.

According to Kicker, Stuttgart have confirmed that the 25-year-old will be unavailable for the foreseeable future. Sky Germany reports that Vagnoman suffered a hamstring strain in his right thigh and faces an estimated recovery period of three to four weeks.

Vagnoman was withdrawn in the 52nd minute against Atlético, shortly after Julián Álvarez had equalized for the visitors. The German international left the pitch with his right thigh bandaged, making way for Lorenz Assignon.
