Sarah Engels is suffering from increased pain after her operation. Nevertheless, she hopes to be fit again quickly.
Sarah Engels (31) gave a health update after her cruciate ligament surgery. The singer needed surgery after falling while skiing in Zillertal, Austria. She is in more pain, but hopes it will get better soon. She also wants to get fit quickly so that she can perform again. The “Die Schlagernacht des Jahr” tour begins in Hanover on March 2nd, in which she wants to take part along with many other stars and which leads through many cities in the republic.

In an Instagram story Sarah Engels also explained to her 1.8 million followers on Friday evening how the skiing accident happened. She simply had an unfortunate fall; the thawed snow was very “soapy”. She immediately noticed that something was broken. “Immediately after the accident, the pain was quite bearable for me – it was more of an extreme feeling of instability,” she revealed in a question and answer session. In fact, her cruciate ligament was torn “completely in the middle,” which is why surgery was unavoidable. “Now I have more pain, which will hopefully go away quickly.”
The singer actually has a number of appointments in her calendar. That’s why she wants to get fit again quickly. She “very much hopes” that she can be there at the start of the tour in Hanover and “get back on her feet by then.” She was “also really looking forward to the next few weeks and projects.”
First, however, the singer has to wear a leg brace and walk on crutches, as she also showed in her story. “The first steps hurt – both in the knee and in the heart.” In such a situation, you only realize “how grateful you can be when you are completely healthy.”
At some point she wants to hit the slopes again
Despite these adversities, she hasn’t given up skiing completely: “I think I’ll face this fear at some point. Because this accident could have happened to me with any other sport or even simply with a stupid fall.” But she’s not thinking about getting back on skis yet. “Now I want to do everything I can to get back on my feet.”
