Dennis Seimen was promoted to number one at VfB Stuttgart before the season, but had to wait for his competitive debut due to a thigh injury. Fabian Bredlow represented him in the first phase of the season.
Dennis Seimen was beaming from ear to ear in the Aspach rain. This comeback felt “incredibly good,” said the young VfB Stuttgart keeper. After an injury break of around two and a half months, Seimen returned to goal for at least 70 minutes in the 5-0 (3-0) friendly against Greuther Fürth. Coach Sebastian Hoeneß will only decide after further training impressions whether he will be allowed to play in the Bundesliga against SC Paderborn on October 10th.
He “liked” Seimen, said Hoeneß. “We are happy that he is back.” The 20-year-old showed a “calm, decent performance”. And yet: The coach doesn't want to rush anything. “We won’t allow ourselves to be put under pressure in any way,” explained Hoeneß and once again referred to the top talent’s long downtime. “Dennis will play shortly,” assured Hoeneß. It remains to be seen whether in Paderborn, where Seimen played on loan last season and made another leap in development.
Bredlow should continue to get his games
Homegrown player Seimen was promoted to Stuttgart number one before the season, but had to wait until his competitive debut for the VfB professionals due to his thigh injury. The experienced Fabian Bredlow represented him in the first phase of the season - and after several convincing performances he should continue to play in the future.
Seimen will “play a lot of games, but not all of them,” announced Hoeneß. That was always clear given the lavish program and the young goalkeeper's limited experience, said the 44-year-old.
Meanwhile, VfB sports director Christian Gentner acknowledged Seimen's great hard work on his way back to the goal. He worked “very, very hard” for it, explained Gentner. In the test against Fürth, in which he got almost nothing on his goal, Seimen took his “first steps and attempts to walk” again.
It was “a little bit different than going to training,” reported Seimen after his appearance on Thursday evening. This test was good for everyone, he said - and continued to smile cheerfully in the rain.
