Happy birthday, Scholle!

The former Leverkusen player Heiko Scholz experienced two historic moments in his playing career – one at international level and one with Bayer 04. The German Democratic Republic National team played their 293rd and final international on 12 September 1990. In the line-up against Belgium: Heiko Scholz, back then at Dynamo Dresden. Bayer04.de included Scholle's match for the history books in the series on the subject of '30 years of reunification' with a dedicated contribution with numerous anecdotes from back then.

In the summer of 1992, Scholz moved from the Elbe to the Rhineland, to Bayer 04 to be more exact. Born in Görlitz, the Werkself midfielder won the DFB Cup in 1993 in Scholz' first season in Black and Red. For the new signing, who was in the starting eleven against the Hertha Berlin second team, it was the second title after winning the GDR Cup with Lokomotive Leipzig six years before – another historic moment in his career.

Heiko Scholz, currently working as assistant coach at Dynamo Dresden, will definitely remember those two legendary matches on Thursday when he celebrates his 55th birthday with his family. Bayer 04 wish Heiko: Many happy returns.

Wendell returns

Following on from Lars Bender and Daley Sinkgraven returning at the start the week, Wendell joined up with his teammates on the training ground on Thursday after recovering from a Covid-19 infection. The Brazilian tested positive immediately after returning from his Christmas holiday break back home in Brazil and from that point he was in self-isolation.
