Overview

  • Hertha beat WSG Tirol 3-2 in Kundl on Friday, with Kevin Sessa scoring twice and academy striker Jelani Ndi scoring the decisive goal.
  • The friendly featured early injury concerns as Marten Winkler left with a thigh problem and 17-year-old Mayson Grothe was withdrawn and taken straight to the dressing room.
  • A WSG player suffered a serious head injury late in the game that required lengthy treatment and a stretcher, prompting the referee to end the match shortly afterward.
  • Hertha's 28-player camp roster is heavy on youth players such as Ndi, Mayson Grothe and Jerome Diallo while several senior squad members including goalkeeper Tjark Ernst have departed and no new signings had been announced.
  • The team stays in Austria until July 26 with a friendly against Mamelodi Sundowns scheduled and a 2. Bundesliga season opener away at VfL Bochum to follow, a run that will test squad depth if injuries persist.
