Hertha BSC Prepares for League Opener Amid Injury Concerns
Hertha BSC's preparations for the upcoming league season have been marked by a mix of challenges and positive developments. The team, coached by Stefan Leitl, has been navigating through some knocks following their pre-season friendlies, as revealed by Leitl after the second match against Motherwell.
The matches in question were part of Hertha's preparations for the second league start. Notably, central defender Niklas Kolbe was substituted as a precaution during the second test match, but he has since resumed training after a muscle issue. Kolbe and Michal Karbownik, who has been playing as a left-back, were both present and participating in Monday's training session at the Schenckendorffplatz, a promising sign for the team's upcoming fixtures.
The match between Hertha BSC and Motherwell ended in a 1:1 draw. The team also played a secret test match that ended in a 0:0 draw. Despite the injury issues, Kolbe and Karbownik are included in Hertha's 3-4-2-1 lineup during pre-season friendlies, indicating they are fit or close to match-ready.
Unfortunately, Linus Gechter, John Brooks, and Pascal Klemens are still sidelined due to a red card, thigh, and ankle surgery respectively. No further long-term injuries have been reported for Hertha BSC since the Scotland match, nor have there been any increased concerns for the trainer regarding the defenders' health.
The much-anticipated league start for Hertha BSC is against Schalke on Friday at 8:30 PM. With Kolbe and Karbownik showing signs of recovery, the team is hopeful for a strong start to the season. The journalists covering these events are Carsten Priefer and Roberto Lamprecht.
