Marcel Engelhardt breaks a bone — 34 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 34 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

One of our own: Felix Meier joins the Holstein Kiel first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Felix Meier is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Benjamin Otto steps up from the Holstein Kiel academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Benjamin Otto has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Holstein Kiel promote Heinrich Hahn from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Heinrich Hahn 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.

One of our own: Friedrich Beck joins the Holstein Kiel first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Friedrich Beck is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
