Squad30 Nov 2026

The knee: Gregor Sauer out for 17 days

17 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Darmstadt 98 lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Market30 Nov 2026

Matej Maglica 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 Darmstadt 98 can pretend not to have heard.

The dugout30 Nov 2026

Niklas Schmidt keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Darmstadt 98 may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad30 Nov 2026

A falling-out at Darmstadt 98

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

Match28 Nov 2026

Darmstadt 98 cannot find the net

3 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.

Squad30 Nov 2026

Words at Darmstadt 98 training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Sergio López 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.

The dugout30 Nov 2026

The manager’s verdict

“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Maximilian Wagner was not hiding it after 0‑0, and nobody in the Darmstadt 98 dressing room was either.

Player ratings30 Nov 2026

Luca Marseiler ran the game

Chances created: 10. Not on the scoresheet and not remotely anonymous — a passing performance that pulled a defence apart without leaving a mark on the column that gets read.

The dugout30 Nov 2026

The manager makes an example of Aleksandar Vukotić

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad23 Nov 2026

A knee injury of the worst kind for Gregor Sauer

24 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Darmstadt 98 lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Match18 Nov 2026

Darmstadt 98 out of the cup

VfL Wolfsburg ended it 0‑2. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Squad23 Nov 2026

6 saves: Marcel Schuhen was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 6 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Squad23 Nov 2026

Words exchanged at Darmstadt 98

Hiroki Akiyama 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.

Player ratings23 Nov 2026

Sergio López was the difference for Darmstadt 98

Marked 7.72. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

Squad23 Nov 2026

Patric Pfeiffer falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The dugout23 Nov 2026

Maximilian Wagner: “We have to be better”

“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 0‑0 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.

The dugout23 Nov 2026

Alexander Brunst 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 dugout23 Nov 2026

Marc Oliver Kempf does not fit this one

Ninety specific minutes wanted a different sort of player, and the manager picked one. He is not out of form and he is not in the side, and both are true.

Squad16 Nov 2026

The knee: Gregor Sauer out for 31 days

31 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Darmstadt 98 lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Squad16 Nov 2026

Tempers go at Darmstadt 98

Hiroki Akiyama was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad16 Nov 2026

Words at Darmstadt 98 training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Sergio López 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.

Looking ahead16 Nov 2026

Darmstadt 98 take on the side everybody is chasing

Arminia Bielefeld arrive as leaders. A side at the top is beaten roughly once a month, and the club that does it gets a week it remembers for a year.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

The manager makes an example of Raoul Petretta

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad16 Nov 2026

The division's best last weekend was a Darmstadt 98 man

It is a small honour and it is not nothing: somebody watched every match in the division and decided that Fraser Hornby was the best thing in any of them.

Squad9 Nov 2026

A knee injury of the worst kind for Gregor Sauer

38 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Darmstadt 98 lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Player ratings9 Nov 2026

Both of them Fraser Hornby's — 8.05

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.05, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Squad9 Nov 2026

Hiroki Akiyama in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Darmstadt 98 this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match7 Nov 2026

Darmstadt 98 see off Dynamo Dresden

Three points for Darmstadt 98, 2‑0 the final word against Dynamo Dresden in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad9 Nov 2026

Marcel Schuhen stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Marcel Schuhen and Darmstadt 98 agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Player ratings9 Nov 2026

Nobody could get near Sidi Sané

Successful dribbles: 17. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad9 Nov 2026

Words at Darmstadt 98 training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Sergio López 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.

The dugout9 Nov 2026

Maximilian Wagner: “That is the standard”

“That is what I want every week. Not the result, the way they went about it.” The manager, after 2‑0, already talking about the next one.

The dugout9 Nov 2026

The manager makes an example of Meldin Drešković

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
