Overview

• Hein started at the Allianz Arena after Werder No. 1 Mio Backhaus suffered a training shoulder injury.
• Bayern Munich won 4-0, yet Hein logged eight saves, an xGOT of 0.43, and completed 38 of 52 passes with seven long balls.
• Get German Football News named him Man of the Match and likened his sweeping to Manuel Neuer’s style.
• Head coach Horst Steffen lauded Hein’s composure on the ball, noted Backhaus is expected to miss the next few games, and signaled a prolonged audition without declaring a permanent change.
• Hein is on loan from Arsenal, where David Raya is first choice and Kepa Arrizabalaga is backup, so sustained performances in Bremen could enhance his longer-term prospects.
