Overview
- VfB Stuttgart confirmed that 20-year-old Dennis Seimen has a hamstring-related thigh injury that will keep him out through at least the end of September.
- Seimen had been groomed to replace Alexander Nübel after a strong season that helped SC Paderborn 07 win promotion to the Bundesliga.
- Fabian Bredlow is expected to start Stuttgart’s early matches and the squad also includes third-choice goalkeeper Marius Funk for depth.
- Sporting director Fabian Wohlgemuth called the injuries “bad news” and said the club will discuss in the coming days whether to pursue a signing.
- Reports from Sky Sport and Goal say club officials have for now decided not to bring in an external keeper, but Stuttgart will monitor Seimen’s rehab and reassess if needed.
