Overview
- Hertha held a more than 100-minute opening session in cold, windy conditions with 24 outfield players and four goalkeepers on the pitch.
- Long-term absentees John Anthony Brooks and Leon Jensen completed the warm-up with teammates before continuing individual rehab work.
- Center-backs Tim Hoffmann and Agustin Rogel did not train with the first team and will skip the Portugal camp, with Rogel set to join the U23 on Monday.
- Right-back Julian Eitschberger, discontent with playing time, trained with the group and is expected to travel, while midfielder Diego Demme worked individually due to renewed head complaints and may not make the trip.
- Defender Niklas Kolbe remains in rehab and is not planned for the Lagos camp, as Hertha targets a strong restart with a home game against leaders Schalke 04 in two weeks.
