Bavarian Loan Works: Sam Kerr makes her Liverpool debut

Most of Bayern Munich loanees are back in action after a long winter break. The Bundesliga had and an Englische Woche, playing a midweek league match, meaning we saw our loanees getting more action. Nübel won both matches, while Krätzig was put into a different position. We also saw two WSL debuts in England. See who else is back in action and who got an assist this week!

FC Bayern Munich

There are nine players on loan from the first team.

Germany – Bundesliga

There are five players on loan in the German Bundesliga: Alexander Nübel, Franz Krätzig, Paul Wanner, Armando Sieb, and Gabriel Vidovic.

Alexander Nübel – VfB Stuttgart

Stuttgart hosted Leipzig midweek, and as always, Nübel was in goal. He conceded a goal in just the tenth minute, but then kept them out of the net for the rest of the match. He recorded two diving saves to keep his team in it. Stuttgart was able to score two goals to take a 2-1 lead before Leipzig received two late red cards — both second yellows — making a late comeback impossible.

Nübel started in goal for Stuttgart against Freiburg at home. He did not need to make a save, yet still recorded a shutout. He completed 89% of his passes — misplaying just four of them. Four different teammates scored four goals for the home team, leading Stuttgart to a 4-0 win.

Stuttgart will travel to Slovakia to face Slovan Bratislava on Tuesday in the Champions League. They will return to Germany with a trip to Mainz on Saturday.

Franz Krätzig – 1.FC Heidenheim

Krätzig started midweek for Heidenheim in Bremen at left wing. He had two shots — one blocked from outside the box and one from inside the box that went over the bar. He also created two chances for his teammates to shoot. He left the match in the 76th minute with the match level at 2-2, but immediately saw his team go down.

Krätzig started at left back for Heidenheim back at home against St. Pauli. In the attack, he had a shot on goal from the top of the box, but it was saved. He also created a chance for his teammates to shoot. On defense, he recorded a clearance, an interception, and four recoveries, but he also conceded a penalty that led to the opening goal for St Pauli. Krätzig played the full 90 and saw one more goal scored against his defense.

Paul Wanner – 1.FC Heidenheim

Wanner started on Wednesday in Bremen on the opposite wing as Krätzig. He also had two shots, almost identical to his fellow loanee — one blocked from outside the box and one on goal, but saved from a wide angle. He also created a chance for his teammates to shoot. Wanner left the match in the 76th minute with Krätzig. The match was level at two when they left the field, but Bremen scored right after they subbed off. Heidenheim scored an equalizer from a direct free kick deep in stoppage time.

Wanner entered the match against St. Pauli at halftime when Heidenheim was down 1-0 after the converted penalty. He had one shot from the top of the box, but it was blocked at the point of the kick. He also created one chance for his team to shoot, but this was not enough for his team to come back, and they fell 2-0 to St. Pauli.

Heidenheim will travel to face Augsburg on Saturday.

Armindo Sieb – 1. FSV Mainz 05

Sieb was on the bench to start the match on Tuesday against Bayer Leverkusen, but was brought in after just three minutes due to a injury. Less than 15 minutes later, he picked up the match’s first yellow card for a bad foul. He did not have a shot, but recorded a chance created, but Mainz was not able to put anything past Leverkusen and they fell 1-0 on the road.

Sieb was in the starting lineup for a match in Berlin against Union. Mainz scored in the fifth minute, but it was to equalize a first minute Berlin goal. By the 21st minute they were down again, but this time for good. Sieb played 61 minutes and had three shot attempts — one blocked from outside the box, and two shots off target from inside the box. He did not have a chance created, but missed a big chance. Mainz went on to fall 2-1.
