BERLIN (Reuters) - VfB Stuttgart captain Christian Gentner has suffered various facial injuries after his collision with VfL Wolfsburg goalkeeper Koen Casteels in Saturday's Bundesliga game, his club said. Casteels leapt high to try and catch the ball in the penalty area and his knee caught Gentner in the face in the process. "Extensive examinations revealed that Christian Gentner had suffered breaks to the lower and lateral (parts of his) eye-socket, his nose and his upper-jaw," said Stuttgart in a statement. Wolfsburg have wished Gentner a speedy recovery but could not immediately be reached for further comment. Belgian goalkeeper Casteels has yet to comment.
