Werder’s quiet plan in goal: Karl Hein and Alexander Schlager take over

Werder have handled their goalkeeping question with Karl Hein and Alexander Schlager, according to kicker. The concern about whether Mio Backhaus could be replaced in goal hasn’t turned into any major stir.

The open issue heading into the season over the “number 1” role appears, for the moment, to have been resolved through the current pairing. So far, the setup is working without the kind of turmoil many expected before the campaign began.
