VfB Stuttgart backs Dennis Seimen as first-choice goalkeeper

VfB Stuttgart sporting director Fabian Wohlgemuth publicly backed goalkeeper Dennis Seimen (20) as the club’s primary option in their ongoing goalkeeper debate. Wohlgemuth emphasized full confidence in Seimen during a press conference. Seimen, a VfB Stuttgart academy graduate, has been named in matchday squads this season following an extended loan spell at SC Paderborn. His performances have kept him in contention for first-team minutes. Wohlgemuth ruled out any short-term experimentation with other goalkeepers, stating that Seimen remains the club’s first-choice goalkeeper. The announcement comes amid ongoing discussions about the club’s long-term goalkeeper strategy. VfB Stuttgart’s next Bundesliga fixtures include home matches against FC Union Berlin and Borussia Mönchengladbach. Seimen is expected to retain his starting role for both games. The club’s goalkeeper department also includes established names such as Florian Müller and newly signed Gregor Kobel, but Wohlgemuth’s remarks signal priority access to minutes for Seimen. Long-term planning includes Seimen’s development as a key figure in Stuttgart’s defensive future.
