Zetterer remains the regular keeper at Werder Bremen – Backhaus faces a challenge!

In an important decision for the upcoming season, SV Werder Bremen has announced that Michael Zetterer will be the starting goalkeeper. This official statement from the club, which was published on Tuesday evening, confirms that the 30-year-old will be in charge of Bremen's goal in the coming 2025/26 season. Head coach Horst Steffen explained that intensive evaluations of the goalkeepers were carried out over the last six weeks of preparation, with Zetterer emerging as the “number 1” based on his skills and performance. It was particularly emphasized that Zetterer will remain at SV Werder over the summer as a potential transfer, particularly to West Ham United, is off the table. This means the discussion about his future has come to an end, which is positive news for the club's fans. Deichstube reports.

Mio Backhaus, the 21-year-old goalkeeper, now has to come to terms with his role as number two. According to reports, he has accepted the decision professionally, but it remains unclear whether he will play in the DFB Cup game against Arminia Bielefeld. Coach Steffen had previously suggested that there might be different keepers for the Bundesliga and cup, which would bring additional excitement to the upcoming games. Buten Unbinnen reports.
