Overview
- The eight-day camp runs January 3–10 in Lara near Antalya as bottom-placed Dresden, on 13 points from 17 matches, seek a turnaround for the 2. Bundesliga return.
- Sunday’s first grass session focused on pressing drills with all 29 traveling players involved before Jan-Hendrik Marx worked individually due to squad numbers.
- A friendly against Swiss second-tier club FC Aarau is scheduled for January 6 at 16:00, with a second test planned later in the camp.
- Winter loans Jonas Sterner, Robert Wagner and Thomas Keller have joined the squad, building on the pre-Christmas addition of Jason Ceka.
- New sporting director Sören Gonther is using the camp to assess the group, while 19-year-old Jakob Zickler missed the trip due to illness and is expected to join once recovered.
