Peter Schwarz damages knee ligaments — 19 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 19 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad23 Aug 2027

62 days out for Johan Gómez after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. VfL Bochum will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Market23 Aug 2027

Reiss Nelson hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what VfL Bochum can pretend not to have heard.

Transfer targets23 Aug 2027

Too dear: VfL Bochum walk away from Abdoulie Ceesay

$5.5M was the most the club would pay and St. Pauli were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Market23 Aug 2027

VfL Bochum pay Karlsruher SC $1.2M for a proper upgrade

Karlsruher SC did not want to sell and the number is why they did. $1.2M for Christoph Kobald, and the expectation that arrives with him is the kind no amount of settling-in period softens.

Transfer targets23 Aug 2027

The paperwork begins on Baboucarr Faal

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. VfL Bochum have done the hard part with Viktoria Plzen, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Transfer targets23 Aug 2027

Kevin Castaño will not be coming to VfL Bochum

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at River Plate is saying, and nobody at VfL Bochum is enjoying the guessing.

Squad23 Aug 2027

Words exchanged at VfL Bochum

Moritz-Broni Kwarteng and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Transfer targets23 Aug 2027

Leeds United tell VfL Bochum: James Justin is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad16 Aug 2027

The knee: Peter Schwarz out for 26 days

26 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. VfL Bochum lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Squad16 Aug 2027

Johan Gómez breaks a bone — 70 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 70 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Transfer targets16 Aug 2027

VfL Bochum make their move for Abdoulie Ceesay

$5.5M on the table at St. Pauli. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Squad16 Aug 2027

Philipp Strompf stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Philipp Strompf and VfL Bochum agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad16 Aug 2027

A falling-out at VfL Bochum

Moritz-Broni Kwarteng and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Transfer targets16 Aug 2027

Door shut on Agustín Fontana

VfL Bochum asked and Palermo said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

The dugout16 Aug 2027

Mathis Clairicia gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

The dugout16 Aug 2027

Niclas Thiede is still being punished for one mistake

Nobody will confirm it and the team sheets confirm it every week. One error has bought him a spell as second choice that is already longer than the error deserved.

The dugout16 Aug 2027

Sanoussy Ba knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at VfL Bochum, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Tomoki Hayakawa turns down VfL Bochum

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Kashima Antlers keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Too dear: VfL Bochum walk away from Elias Baum

$3.0M was the most the club would pay and Eintracht Frankfurt were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Market24 Aug 2026

VfL Bochum turn down Austria Wien for Maximilian Wittek

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Boardroom24 Aug 2026

2 academy graduates step up at VfL Bochum

Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.

Market24 Aug 2026

Stripfing watching Luis Pick

The interest is real enough to have reached print. VfL Bochum have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Market24 Aug 2026

One of our own: Peter Schwarz joins the VfL Bochum first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Peter Schwarz is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market24 Aug 2026

VfL Bochum promote Marc Bergmann from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Marc Bergmann has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Squad24 Aug 2026

A falling-out at VfL Bochum

Sanoussy Ba and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Words at VfL Bochum training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Gerrit Holtmann is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.
