Aristide Bancé, the Burkinabe striker, has made a surprising departure from Augsburg in the Bundesliga. Instead, he is joining Fortuna Dusseldorf in the second division (D2).
The departure comes after Bancé sustained an arm injury during the preseason, preventing his return to Augsburg. Despite being the African vice-champion with Burkina Faso last January, Bancé was recognized as one of Augsburg’s best players during the previous season.
The move is a loan deal for a year, indicating that Bancé will be representing Fortuna Dusseldorf for the upcoming season. It will be interesting to see how he contributes to his new team in the second division after his time in the Bundesliga with Augsburg.
