FC Augsburg Bolsters Defense with Loan of Swiss Player Cédric Zesiger

The 26-year-old defender joins Augsburg from VfL Wolfsburg on loan with an option to buy, addressing the team's immediate defensive challenges.

Cédric Zesiger, a Swiss national team player, has been loaned to FC Augsburg from VfL Wolfsburg for the remainder of the season, with an option for Augsburg to purchase him afterward.
The versatile defender, who can play both as a center-back and left-back, aims to strengthen Augsburg's defense during a critical Bundesliga relegation battle.
Zesiger's arrival helps address Augsburg's current defensive gaps, with key players sidelined due to injuries and limited trusted backups available for upcoming matches.
At Wolfsburg, Zesiger played 23 Bundesliga matches in his debut season and was part of Switzerland's squad for the 2024 European Championship, though he did not feature in the tournament.
Augsburg's sporting director highlighted Zesiger's physicality and Bundesliga experience as key assets to immediately improve the team's defensive options.
