Hauke Wahl

Dealing with illness

Wahl is on the bench for Saturday's clash with Leipzig due to a stomach bug.

Analysis: Wahl is unable to start on short notice after coming down with the illness ahead of Saturday's match. With an already thin pool of healthy defenders available, Wahl's absence further marginalizes St. Pauli's defense as Lars Ritzka has to slide into an unfamiliar position on the left side of the back three to begin Saturday's match.
