Overview
- Energie Cottbus officially signed Leon Guwara on Wednesday, October 14, 2026, after he had trained with the squad while unattached.
- Coach Claus-Dieter Wollitz said Borgmann's muscle problems created an urgent need on the left and added that the staff remain fully convinced of Guwara's qualities.
- Guwara is available for selection and could make his first appearance under the new contract in Friday's home game against 1. FC Nürnberg.
- The 30-year-old made 20 appearances in Cottbus's promotion season and brings prior experience from 1. FC Köln, Werder Bremen, Darmstadt 98, 1. FC Kaiserslautern, FC Utrecht and VVV-Venlo.
- The short-term signing gives the newly promoted club immediate defensive depth while it manages tight finances and squad risk during its early 2. Bundesliga campaign.
