Michael Zetterer is about to transfer from Werder Bremen to Eintracht Frankfurt. The 30-year-old goalkeeper was released by the green-whites for talks with another club. In the Hesse, the impending departure from Kevin Trapp to Paris FC creates a gap to fill Zetterer.
Particularly explosive: On Saturday (3:30 p.m.), the eagle wearers meet directly on Werder Bremen on the 1st Bundesliga matchday. So it is quite possible that Zetterer is against his previous club in the Frankfurt goal. Alternatively, Kauã Santos could be an option. The 22-year-old is the chosen solution for the role between the posts, but only recently returned after surviving cruciate ligament injury and so far only gathered game practice in an internal test.
In Bremen, the view is already looking forward: Mio bakery should be set as a regular keeper in the future. At the same time, those responsible are trying to commit Alexander Schwolow (without a club) as the new number two.
