Thomas Dähne, 1.FC Heidenheim's goalkeeper, suffered a serious injury during yesterday's home game against Hannover 96.

As confirmed by the Baden-Württemberg based club this evening, Dähne will be out of action for several weeks as he recovers.

Further medical examinations on Monday revealed that the 32-year-old suffered a fracture of the proximal phalanx of his right little finger. 

Dähne will therefore undergo surgery. This means the goalkeeper will be unavailable to Heidenheim for several weeks.

The 32-year-old has been in fine form up until now, featuring 9 times and keeping 3 clean sheets as Heidenheim sit in seventh place. 

Heidenheim's remaining fixtures for 2026 include SV Darmstadt 98, 1.FC Nürnberg, FC St. Pauli, VfL Bochum and Eintracht Braunschweig.
