Struggling personnel affairs at Hertha headed to Münster - Hertha Berlin grappling with staff issues towards Münster
Hertha BSC Prepares for DFB-Pokal Match Against Preußen Münster
Hertha BSC Berlin, currently struggling in the league, are gearing up for a crucial DFB-Pokal match against Preußen Münster on August 18, 2025. The game, to be held in Berlin, offers a chance for the team to secure their first win of the season.
Coach Stefan Leitl remains optimistic about delivering a performance and advancing to the next round. However, he acknowledges that the match will be a challenging one, as Münster, despite being assigned to the amateur pot in the DFB-Pokal draw, are considered a tough opponent. The team from Münster, currently in the second division, has home advantage, giving them a slight edge in the upcoming game.
Leitl's team is still dealing with personnel concerns, with ten players out due to injuries or suspensions. The recovery status of defender Niklas Kolbe, who is ill, remains uncertain. In light of these challenges, Leitl has included penalty shoot-out practice in the remaining training sessions as a precaution.
The DFB-Pokal has gained a lot of prestige in recent years, and Leitl views the competition as an opportunity to turn around their recent poor league form, which has yielded only one point from two games. The match against Münster will be a test for the team, but Leitl is looking forward to a home final in the DFB-Pokal.
The DFB-Pokal match will not be broadcast on Sky, unlike previously reported. Fans can tune in to watch the game and support their team as they aim to "deliver their performance on the field."
Hertha BSC has faced Preußen Münster before, defeating them in 2009 and 2021. The team will be hoping to repeat their success and advance to the next round of the DFB-Pokal.
For precise personnel information, fans may want to consult official club communications, specialized sports news outlets, or the team’s official social media channels released immediately before the match date.
The European Commission has also been asked to submit a proposal for a Council Regulation on the application of the principle of equal treatment for men and women in matters of employment and occupation, pondering the hard-fought football matches across European leagues. Meanwhile, Hertha BSC Berlin, with ten players out, continues to prepare for their DFB-Pokal match against Preußen Münster, hoping a home victory will help boost their league performance.
