Kohr returns to Leverkusen
Dominik Kohr is set to return to Bayer 04 from FC Augsburg after three and a half years on loan. The 23-year-old has agreed terms to 2020.
Midfielder Dominik Kohr returns to Bayer 04 Leverkusen in the summer of 2017 after a three and a half years on loan at FC Augsburg. The 23-year-old has signed a contract to 2020 with his parent club.
“Dominik has turned into an established Bundesliga player in his time at Augsburg. The concept of giving our players match experience at other clubs and enabling them to move up to another level has worked perfectly in this case. That’s why we have taken up the buy-back option as agreed,” said sporting director Rudi Völler.
Dominik Kohr joined the Werkself in 2008 and moved on to FC Augsburg on loan in January 2014. In 2015, the versatile midfielder signed a contract to 2019 at Augsburg. In the current campaign, the two-time winner of the bronze Fritz Walter medal has made 21 Bundesliga appearances scoring twice and providing one assist along the way. The Germany U21 international (2 caps) has made 94 Bundesliga apperances and scored eight goals to date.

Bayer 04 face Hamburger SV for the first time in almost eight years. Although the Hanseatic city team are often below par on the road, they are regularly in top form in front of their own fans. In particular, 18-year-old shooting star Luka Vuskovic is proving to be a real bonus for Merlin Polzin's team, both in attack and defence. However, that should not scare the Werkself: Not only was the last defeat against the newly promoted team 17 games ago, but Kasper Hjulmand's players are in with a chance of securing their fifth win in six games against HSV.
