Holstein Kiel will have to start the season without a key player. Defender Lasse Rosenboom suffered a syndesmosis ligament tear during training and will miss the start of the season in early August.

What happened?

The 24-year-old Rosenboom is one of the team's top performers and played in 30 of 34 second-division games last season. Holstein Kiel currently ranks 12th in the 2. Bundesliga with 41 points and a record of 11 wins, 8 draws, and 15 losses.

Why it matters

Rosenboom's injury is a significant loss for Holstein Kiel, as he plays a vital role in the team. The club must now find a solution to fill the gap left by Rosenboom.

What comes next?

Holstein Kiel will have to start the season without Rosenboom. The club must prepare for the upcoming games and hopes that Rosenboom will be fit again soon. With 44 goals scored and 48 conceded, Holstein Kiel has a goal difference of -4 in the current season. The team is 29 points behind leaders FC Schalke 04 and has lost its last 5 games, including a 2-1 defeat to Dynamo Dresden on May 17, 2026.
