Christian Lell.. missing?

By: Angela | February 6th, 2008

The troubles of Christian Lell continue to move forward. In the past he’s been arrested for an altercation with a police officer, hitting his ex-girlfriend and losing his license for driving drunk. Now, he’s gone missing. Lell hasn’t shown up for training in a few days. Ottmar Hitzfeld insists he knows why Lell is gone, due to cold, but Lell’s family and teammates suggest otherwise. No one has heard from him. No one has seen him.

“Nobody knows where he is,” revealed midfielder Zé Roberto.
“He has not been in training for two days and I really have no idea what is wrong with him.”

“I asked him for tickets for the Werder Bremen game last week and he said he would deal with it, but that was our last contact” his grandfather told the Express newspaper. “I have not been able to reach him for days. He has not given any reason. He has turned his mobile phones off and even his mother has not spoken to him for days.”

It’s almost like playing Where’s Waldo, only more serious. Hopefully things will turn out okay and he’s really only out because he’s ill.

  What was your source?? Take these quote from the official website:

  Christian Lell also resumed training on Wednesday. “He’s running again, and that’s a good sign,” Henke remarked. Lell was laid low at the start of the week with a heavy dose of the flu.

  A Google News search for Lell brings up plenty of stories about his whereabouts (both in English and German). Though they seem to be originating from the tabloids…

  Duh, most of them quote the “Express”, a source almost as trustworthy as “Bild”. I’ll side with Henke, though.

  As for his whereabouts: I should take the half hour walk to Säbener Straße and check for myself. But if I had more tickets for Sundays game at hand (and a greedy grandfather), maybe I wouldn’t call back either.

  probek: When I originally posted this, there was nothing on the official website. Considering the breakdown at Bayern Munich these days, I’m not surprised at all that his teammates may not have known why he was “missing”
