Heidenheim Beck is set to experience a concussion.
In a recent development, 28-year-old midfielder Adrian Beck of Bundesliga club 1. FC Heidenheim is currently following the DFL's medical protocol for head injuries, after colliding with Parma Calcio's goalkeeper Zion Suzuki during a friendly match.
The collision occurred during a preseason game, which ended with a 2:1 win for Parma Calcio. Following the incident, Beck was treated promptly and his injuries were assessed. While more serious injuries were ruled out, the medical team confirmed that Beck had sustained a mild concussion and a bruised rib.
Beck's recovery timeline is currently not available, as the club and medical staff have not provided any updates. However, according to typical concussion protocols and bruised rib recovery, a footballer often requires a few weeks to safely return to training, depending on injury severity and medical clearance.
In light of this, the club has announced that Beck will gradually increase his training load in the coming days, following the DFL's medical protocol. Unfortunately, Beck's appearance in the DFB-Pokals match against Bahlinger SC on Saturday seems unlikely.
It's important to note that no fractures were revealed during examinations at Heidenheim Hospital. The club also announced that they have ruled out any serious injuries following the collision.
For the most precise and current information on Beck’s recovery, fans are encouraged to check official 1. FC Heidenheim communications or trusted sports news outlets. The club and medical staff will continue to monitor Beck's progress closely, and updates will be shared as they become available.
