VfL Wolfsburg Haberleri

VfL Wolfsburg have secured the services of Moritz Jenz. The 24-year-old centre-back, who has been on loan at FC Schalke 04 since January, joins the Green-and-Whites from Ligue 1 outfit FC Lorient on a contract until 2027.

There will be no VfL Wolfsburg involvement when Germany kick-off their milestone 1,000th game on Monday evening (18:00 CEST) – unlike previous squads that have had a Green-and-White presence – but it is still worth taking a trip down memory lane ahead of the milestone occasion.

Luca Waldschmidt is moving from VfL Wolfsburg to Bundesliga rivals 1. FC Köln. The Wolves have agreed a loan deal with the Billy Goats until 30 June 2024.

Nils Schmadtke has left VfL Wolfsburg to return to Borussia Mönchengladbach. The 34-year-old, who had been head of scouting at the Wolves since autumn 2020, has accepted the role as sporting director of the professional squad at Gladbach.

The Bundesliga season may be over, but it’s not time for summer holidays quite yet for the VfL Wolfsburg players who have been called up for international duty. Jonas Wind, Mattias Svanberg, Sebastiaan Bornauw, Jakub Kaminski and Patrick Wimmer will all be involved in qualifying for next year’s European Championship in Germany – and the latter member of that quintet will face Green-and-White team-mates in both matches with Austria. Koen Casteels, however, has withdrawn from international duty after consultation with the Belgian FA due to injury.

David Odogu recently achieved something only one Wolfsburg player had ever previously done: winning the U17 European Championship with Germany in what was the country’s first triumph at the tournament since 2009. Back then, players like Mario Götze, Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Wolfsburg’s Kevin Scheidhauer were in Germany’s squad.

The Germany men’s national team are playing a number of friendlies as part of their preparations for next year’s European Championship on home soil. On Saturday 9 September, Hansi Flick’s side will take on Japan in the latest international fixture to be held at the Volkswagen Arena. The game against the four-time Asian Cup winners will kick off at 20:45 CEST.

The final match of the season against Hertha BSC also proved to be costly for Felix Nmecha, who will not travel to the national team next week because of a heavily bruised ankle. The 22-year-old had to be substituted shortly before half-time on Saturday following a collision. Scans over the weekend confirmed there was no serious ligament damage, but the midfielder is out of action for the time being. Following consultation with the DFB, he will not be available to Hansi Flick’s team for the three upcoming internationals.

The Wolves host Hertha BSC at the Volkswagen Arena as the season draws to a close on Saturday 27 May (kick-off: 15:30 CEST). While VfL still have hopes of qualifying for Europe next term, Hertha were the first team to be relegated in 2022/23.

VfL Wolfsburg are hoping to end the 2022/23 campaign on a hugely positive note when they host Hertha BSC on the final day of the season on Saturday 27 May (kick-off 15:30 CEST). The Wolves know that victory against the Berlin outfit will give them every chance of sealing a place in European competition next term.
