Exciting dress rehearsal: Prussia Münster tests against Mainz 05

The anticipation for the upcoming season of the 2nd Bundesliga is growing, while the promoted Münster is preparing for a crucial test. On Saturday, the team will compete against Bundesliga club Mainz 05 under the direction of head coach Sascha Hildmann. This encounter takes place in the stadium on Bruchweg and is an important opportunity to prepare the team for the upcoming adventure in the higher league.

The search for reinforcements: Fridjónsson in focus

The expectations of the team are high, and in order to strengthen the competition in the offensive series, the Prussians obviously have a particular interest in the Icelandic striker Hólmbert Aron Fridjónsson. The 31-year-old is considered the ideal candidate for the attack center of the Münsteran, as he can score with its size of 1.96 meters and his header. Fridjónsson was most recently active at Holstein Kiel and is free of charge on the market after his contract has not been extended.

strengthening the squad and current challenges

Despite the interest in new players, the Prussians already have 28 professionals in the squad. The team plans to slim down the squad before further obligations are made. The players who may leave the team include Thomas Kok, Ogechika Heil and Marvin Benjamins. These decisions are necessary to optimize the balance and competition within the team.

preparation for the 2nd league: a test with importance

The upcoming test against Mainz 05 is not only a dress rehearsal, but also a way to measure yourself against a first -class opponent. Head coach Hildmann is optimistic and emphasizes the importance of such games as part of the preparation for the challenges in the coming season. The team has already completed several preparation games and is in good shape.

injury problems and personnel issues

While the team focuses on the test, it is also important to deal with injuries. Defender Simon Scherder will not play due to a muscle fiber tear. The young player Jakob Korte should also temporarily collect in the U23 game practice. The violation of Sebastian Mrowca is particularly unfortunate, who has to pause for months due to an Achilles tendon injury.

A look into the future: The start of the season is closer

The team is preparing for the start of the season on August 4 against Fürth, and experience from the friendly against Mainz 05 will be of great importance. The integration of newly obliged players and the development of the individual form are crucial. Hildmann knows that the upcoming games will form the basis for a successful season.
