Ditching the goalkeeper gloves and cleats, Lukas Daschner, Agon Elezi, and the potential departure of Patrik Drewes, VfL Bochum said goodbye to a few key players during their first training session of the new season. The trio is currently in negotiations with other clubs. Drewes, the golden ticket for neighbors Borussia Dortmund, seems to be the most likely to leave. Meanwhile, Kjell Wätjen, young ace of Borussia Dortmund U17, is rumored to join Bochum on a temporary loan. Despite his recent absence from the Bochum squad, following his participation in the U19 national team's Euros last Monday, Wätjen is expected to make a comeback.
Anthony Losilla, a familiar figure, steps into the role of assistant coach, joining forces with head coach Dieter Hecking. Losilla, formerly the team captain, switches sides to help build a new team following last season's relegation. The team will head to Austria's Scheffau for a training camp from July 12-20, fine-tuning their skills before the first league game scheduled for the first weekend of August. As for the DFB-Pokal, Bochum will face BFC Dynamo away on August 16 (1:00 PM).
