Fans were puzzled: did the Uruguayan allow himself an April Fool’s joke or was it canceled by the club? About an hour before kick-off in Dresden, it was clear that Zalazar would already be absent.

His name was not found either in the starting lineup or on the bench. “Rodrigo Zalazar is out today with a bruised foot,” the club said shortly after, explaining the reasons for the absence. The club has yet to comment on how long the 22-year-old will stay.
