Braydon Manu’s Fitness Doubts Ahead of Cup Final

VfL Osnabrück winger Braydon Manu is facing a fitness battle ahead of Saturday’s regional cup final against Blau-Weiß Lohne.

Manu is dealing with an adductor issue and missed Tuesday’s training, casting doubt on his availability for the crucial match.

Head coach Marco Antwerpen remains cautious about Manu’s participation, stating, “We’ll have to see how things develop with him.”

Manu’s presence would be a significant boost to Osnabrück’s chances, given his impressive form since joining the team on loan from PEC Zwolle in February.

The 27-year-old has been a key figure for Osnabrück, making 16 appearances in the 3. Liga and providing two assists. His energy and pace on the flanks have been invaluable to the team.

Osnabrück’s match against fourth-division Lohne promises to be an intense encounter, with Manu’s participation potentially tipping the scales in favor of his team.

The outcome of the cup final hangs in the balance, and Manu’s fitness will be closely monitored in the coming days.
