VfB Stuttgart goalkeeper Bredlow to start DFB-Pokal match

VfB Stuttgart goalkeeper Fabian Bredlow will continue to serve as the team’s primary starter due to an injury to Dennis Seimen. Trainer Sebastian Hoeneß confirmed that Bredlow will start in the upcoming DFB-Pokal match against Hansa Rostock.

Seimen, who suffered a thigh injury during pre-season, is expected to make a return to action in early October. Hoeneß noted that the healing process is progressing well and emphasized the importance of the squad being prepared to react to such personnel changes.

Other squad updates for Stuttgart include the potential return of Jamie Leweling from an infection for the Bundesliga opener against FC Bayern München, while players such as Leo Sauer, Lorenz Assignon, and Luca Jaquez are expected to remain unavailable for the cup match.
