Shock in the Bayernliga: Landsberg's keeper in hospital after head injury!
On October 14, 2025, the fans of TSV 1860 Munich II and TSV Landsberg met at the TSV 1860 training ground as part of an exciting top game in the Bayernliga. Over 200 spectators had gathered to cheer on the two teams, while coach Patrick Kauczinski and ex-professional Benjamin Lauth also watched the action. The spectators were not disappointed: Emre Erdogan opened the game in the 25th minute with an impressive solo to make it 1-0 for the Lions. Shortly afterwards, Noah Klose, the son of the famous Miroslav Klose, increased the score to 2-0 and caused a lot of joy in the stands.
But the euphoric mood didn't last long. After the second goal, a worrying incident occurred: Landsberg's goalkeeper Leopold Leimeister and player Arin Garza collided violently in a duel. Garza accidentally hit Leimeister in the face with his foot, resulting in a dramatic moment.
Serious collision and consequences
Leimeister remained motionless on the ground after the collision. After more than five minutes of intensive treatment, he was taken to hospital with headaches, swelling and nausea. The diagnosis was concussion, but no fractures were found. Nevertheless, Leimeister is suffering from bruises and swelling on his face, which should not be underestimated, especially since he had already suffered a serious injury last season - a tear in the syndesmotic ligament that kept him out of sport for seven months.
At first glance, a concussion may seem like a more benign head injury, but the reality is often different. According to vbg.de, concussion is the most common type of head injury, especially in sports. Tough duels like those that occur in encounters like this are often the cause. Visible consequences are not only bumps and cuts, but also possible facial fractures. However, the symptoms of post-concussion syndrome that can occur after such an injury, such as dizziness, headaches and impaired mental functions, are often overlooked.
The path to recovery
The recovery time from a concussion varies greatly - it can range from a few days to several weeks. It is important that affected players maintain absolute rest and physical rest in order to avoid permanent damage. Athletes who return to training early risk not only their health but also long-term cognitive impairment. According to information from msdmanuals.com, sports coaches and doctors should be able to recognize concussions and act accordingly. Tools such as SCAT5 can be helpful here.
Leimeister will now see an ENT specialist to further clarify his situation. The coming days will be crucial in determining how he recovers from this injury. The risk of concussion is increased in competitive athletes and the return to normality should be approached with caution and expertise.
