In the press conference on Thursday Hertha-Coach Tayfun Korkut had said: “We have three goalkeepers for the game. Finally, I will decide relatively late and shortly, who is between the posts.” Alexander Schwolow will not be after hearing. Herthas Previous Number One had missed the past two games in Freiburg (0: 3) and against Frankfurt (1: 4) because of a coronavirus infection. The 29-year-old had returned to training this week, but is not a crisis-duel in Gladbach after press conference information.

Schwolow was already in January in January before the replacement in the Berlin goal, but at that time kept his place at the time, because with the Danish summer newcomer Oliver Christensen, the set number two with a thigh injury. Without Schwolow and Christensen, the 20-year-old Marcel Lotka came to his Bundesliga debut two weeks ago in Freiburg and delivered a good premiere. Against Frankfurt, with his second deployment, Lotka pats before the meantime 0: 3 when he came out of the box without any need and played the ball into the feet of scorer Jesper Lindström.

The Polish U-21 national player raised in the Ruhr area changes to the U23 of Borussia Dortmund after this season. In Gladbach, Lotka beckons his third Bundesliga commitment – if cork, who after the counterflow of the past weeks with the conversion of the foursome to a five-horse chain, does not swing out on Christensen.
