  "summary": "VfB Stuttgart has confirmed that left-back Maximilian Mittelstädt required stitches after suffering an injury during their 2-0 victory over SC Paderborn in the Bundesliga on Saturday. The incident occurred during a challenge, resulting in a laceration to his right heel. As a result, Mittelstädt will be sidelined \"for the time being\" and will miss upcoming matches. The 29-year-old has been a consistent presence in every competitive match for Stuttgart this season, appearing in the Bundesliga, UEFA Champions League, and DFB-Pokal. Stuttgart will now look to continue their campaign with an away match against Slovan Bratislava in the Champions League on Wednesday.",
