Omlin: “Solid in defence, but room for improvement elsewhere” Goalkeeper Jonas Omlin discusses the 0-0 draw...

The first of two friendlies after the final Bundesliga game before the season break has been confirmed. Werder will take on fifth-tier side Heeslinger SC on Tuesday, 15th November. The game will kick off at 19:00 CET in Heeslingen.

Friendly time in South Tyrol. VfL left Gais to head to our friendly pitch in Brixen, about an hour away – U.S. Lecce were 4 the opponent. Reis’ eleven turned the match around with a 3-2 win despite being down 0-2. Kevin Stöger, Gerrit Holtmann and Silvère Ganvoula scored.

FC Managing Director, Christian Keller said: “Jonas brings everything needed to be a Bundesliga goalkeeper in the future. To make sure that he can develop in such a manner, it is important that he gets game time at the highest possible level. With the loan to SSV Jahn Regensburg, he is increasing his chances of doing that. It is therefore a very important step for Jonas to establish himself in professional football.”

Benito Raman scored for the third game in a row on Saturday. The Belgium international spoke to schalke04.de about his current form, his disallowed goal, his performance against Leverkusen and what he wants to achieve before the winter break.

At the press conference this Thursday, Christian Streich answered the media’s questions, but on Saturday the SC coach will not be allowed on the sideline after his second yellow against Borussia Dortmund. “Julian Schuster will be there on the touchline, Lars Voßler will take my place and I will watch the game on a screen,” explained Streich, who is banned from half an hour before until half an hour after the final whistle and is not allowed to communicate with the team during this period.

According to Cliff Arnall, the third Monday in January is always the saddest day of the year. The British psychologist came to this conclusion based on factors such as weather, motivation level and failed New Year’s resolutions. Our Hertha players, however, were obviously not affected by the so-called Blue Monday, as they seemed in the best of moods on their return to Schenckendorffplatz on Tuesday. A joke here, a boisterous laugh there. No wonder: For one, Oliver Christensen and Co. had soaked up plenty of sun during their hard work at their training camp in Florida, which ended last week. Another reason being that there is a great level of anticipation among the squad to take a first step towards their goals for 2023 in the upcoming Bundesliga return fixture in Bochum (21.01.23, 15:30 CET). “We are delighted to be back here and will now continue to prepare intensely for the Bochum game,” explained Sandro Schwarz after the first training session on home turf in almost six weeks.
