Stuttgart leans on Bredlow as Seimen faces extended thigh injury

VfB Stuttgart is likely to keep Fabian Bredlow as the interim first-choice goalkeeper while Dennis Seimen recovers from a serious thigh problem.

VfB Stuttgart entered the preseason expecting to rely on Dennis Seimen as their number one goalkeeper following a successful loan spell. A severe thigh injury now sidelines Seimen for a period extending to the end of September, prompting the club to consider external signings. However, Fabian Bredlow’s performances in training and friendly matches have strengthened the case for promoting the current backup.

Forward Deniz Undav expressed strong support for Bredlow, stating he believes the team already has a quality second-choice keeper and does not need a new signing. Bredlow himself said he will give his utmost in training to demonstrate that the squad can do without additional transfers, leaving the final decision to the club.
