Union’s midfield headquarters is a symbol of the high fluctuation in the squad.
Last season mainly Robert Andrich (26 / now Leverkusen), Grischa Prömel (26), Christian Gentner (36 / FC Luzern) played there.
Except for Prömel, everyone is gone. His new competitors are Rani Khedira (27 / came from Augsburg), Genki Haraguchi (30 / Hanover), Levin Öztunali (25 / Mainz) and Kevin Möhwald (28 / Bremen).
It will be a heated battle for Union headquarters.
In the sixth position, Khedira was indispensable even before Andrich left. Who is playing by his side?
Möhwald took over the shirt number “30” from Andrich and should follow in his footsteps a little. He made his debut in the test at regional league team Lichtenberg 47 (2-0).
Trainer Urs Fischer (55): “I hope that he will help us. He dares to play with the ball a lot. “
In the attacking midfield, Haraguchi has so far secured his regular place in the Bundesliga and in the European Cup. Prömel could dispute that if he is fit after his groin injury. Öztunali wants to turn this duel into a three-way battle.
Union is well positioned for the current triple burden with the Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal and Europa Conference League.
