RWE Mourns Marvin Obuz's Departure - Once Champion Now Disappears
Marvin Obuz, a key player for Rot-Weiss Essen, has been forced to miss the team's training camp due to a setback in his preparation for the new season. The professional footballer has been experiencing pain in his groin area since a test match in Scotland, and it remains unclear when he will be able to return to active training.
Obuz has been receiving intensive treatment at a hotel during the training camp, but he will not be on the pitch this week as the team prepares for their test match against 1. FC Magdeburg on Friday. The game, to be played in the Avnet Arena, will be divided into three 35-minute periods, similar to a regular match.
Jannik Hofmann and Torben Müssel, meanwhile, have been training without restrictions and will be available for the test match. The team is currently preparing for the new third division season in Wesendorf.
In a positive development, Lucas Brumme, another professional player for Rot-Weiss Essen, visited the team during their training camp. Brumme, who suffered torn ligaments in his ankle, is continuing his rehabilitation in the company of his teammates. He is expected to be out for about four weeks.
Michael Kostka is still too early for the game against 1. FC Magdeburg, but he is making progress and working intensively with the ball individually. An update on Obuz's condition is expected at the beginning of next week.
The season opener for Rot-Weiss Essen is on August 1st against 1860 Munich. Fans attending the test match against 1. FC Magdeburg will be separated in the stadium for safety measures.
Recent social media activity suggests that Obuz may have recently returned to training following his injury. A TikTok post from July 12, 2025, with hashtags referencing Obuz and Rot-Weiss Essen, includes "Die Rückkehr❗" which translates to "The Return❗", hinting at his comeback to training or play. However, specific details regarding the nature of his injury or the exact timing of his return remain unavailable at this time.
As the team gears up for the new season, the absence of Obuz is a significant blow, but the team's spirit remains high, boosted by Brumme's recent visit. The test match against 1. FC Magdeburg will serve as the conclusion of the Rot-Weiss Essen training camp and will provide valuable insights into the team's readiness for the upcoming season.
Despite Marvin Obuz's recent return to training, as hinted by his TikTok post, he remains absent from the Rot-Weiss Essen training camp due to a groin injury. The team's preparations for the Champions League or other top European leagues may be affected by his absence, as he is a key player for the team.
