Another setback: promotion hero Reis hit by injury misfortune | OneFootball

Ludovit Reis left HSV in the summer for Bruges to compete in European competitions. However, his body is currently letting him down.

The central midfielder made quite a promising start at his new club and was regularly in the starting eleven. Club Brugge also quickly found itself in very good form and eliminated both RB Salzburg and Rangers in Champions League qualifying. This secured a place in the league phase, giving Ludovit Reis the opportunity to showcase his skills on the biggest stage in European football.

However, his debut has been delayed. First, the Dutchman, who moved for a fee of around six million euros, suffered from back problems that kept him sidelined for almost the entire month of September. Shortly after his comeback, the next setback followed. In last weekend’s home game against Royal Union Saint-Gilloise (1–0), Reis had to leave the field again just four minutes after coming on as a substitute.

Reis not back until 2026?

The diagnosis was a tough one: As Mopo reported, the former Hamburg vice-captain injured his left shoulder, precisely in the area that caused major problems during his time at HSV. Reis will have to undergo surgery—just as he did in the fall of 2023. This time, the operation is to be performed by a shoulder specialist in Belgium using a different method.

The first operation did not provide the desired stability. It seems clear that Reis is unlikely to feature again in 2025, meaning he will miss Club Brugge’s Champions League clashes—after their eye-catching 4–1 win over Monaco—against FC Bayern Munich or FC Barcelona. Fortunately, there are also league phase games in January, so Reis, who played a key role at HSV for four years, can still make a belated debut in the Champions League.
