Sven Jablonski is in charge of today’s game between the Werkself and VfB Stuttgart. The 30-year-old referee from Bremen has already officiated one game involving the Black and Reds this season: the 0-0 draw with Wolfsburg on the first matchday. The assistant referees are Christian Gittelmann and Rafael and Christof Günsch. Felix Zwayer and Thomas Gorniak are the VAR officials at the studio in Cologne.
Your vote counts! Nadiem Amiri’s opener on ten minutes in the Bundesliga away game at Eintracht Frankfurt (1-2) on 2 January is included in the vote for the January Goal of the Month on the ARD Sportschau programme. Florian Wirtz produced a delicate chip to Amiri in the middle and he beat Frankfurt’s Durm before scoring with a back-heel. The goal for the Werkself was not enough to ensure victory but it was still a tremendous finish.

Defender Oermann raved about his school days, whilst talented midfielder Berghoff revealed to the young footballers, amongst other things, who his favourite player is – and he is also at Bayer 04.
