VfB Stuttgart’s dynamic winger Jamie Leweling is forced to put his promising season on hold due to a thigh muscle injury expected to sideline him for four to six weeks. Leweling, who has been in impressive form, now hopes to return by December—a timeline that has Stuttgart fans and management both eager and cautious about his recovery.

Leweling’s absence, however, won’t leave Stuttgart without options. Chris Führich, Stuttgart’s forward, has recently shaken off a muscle injury of his own and will step in to help fill the gap. Head coach Sebastian Hoeneß remains optimistic, relying on a squad bolstered with depth, as the team prepares for crucial clashes with Atalanta BC in the Champions League and Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga. The upcoming international break also gives Stuttgart added time to adjust their lineup.

Leweling’s season thus far has drawn interest from top clubs, notably Manchester United, following his recent DFB debut, where his decisive goal against the Netherlands secured a memorable 1-0 victory. With a December return anticipated, fans and scouts alike will be watching closely as he works toward his comeback.
