Arsenal’s Karl Hein Set for Bundesliga Debut Against Bayern Munich

Injury to Backhaus Opens Opportunity

Arsenal’s Karl Hein is expected to make his debut in the Bundesliga tomorrow when he faces Bayern Munich, following an injury sustained by Werder Bremen’s first-choice goalkeeper, Mio Backhaus. The head coach of Bremen, Horst Steffen, confirmed that Backhaus has suffered a shoulder injury during training, creating an opportunity for the newly signed Estonian international to take his place in the starting lineup. Last season, the 23-year-old gained valuable experience while on loan at Real Valladolid, making regular appearances in La Liga.

Hein’s Chance to Establish Himself

With Backhaus’s injury potentially sidelining him for an extended period, Hein is poised to seize his opportunity to secure the primary goalkeeper position. The 21-year-old not only made 31 appearances in La Liga last season but also represented his national team twice during the September international break.

Coach’s Confidence in Hein

“After performing in the international matches, he’s in good form,” Steffen stated during a press conference on Thursday. “He has a chance to prove himself, and we will need him to make several saves against Bayern.”
