Sky Keeps Kleinfeldt On Duty After On-Air Mix-Up With Werder’s Friedl

She is slated for the Hamburg derby Friday followed by Werder–Leverkusen Saturday.

Overview

  • Sky confirmed to BILD that Katharina Kleinfeldt will work the Hamburg derby on Friday and Werder Bremen’s home match against Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday.
  • The assignments come days after she misidentified Werder captain Marco Friedl during a live interview following Eintracht Frankfurt’s 4:1 win.
  • Friedl was wearing an Eintracht jersey from ex-Werder teammate Michael Zetterer after a post-match shirt swap, which contributed to the confusion.
  • Kleinfeldt apologized, calling the situation very unpleasant and saying the Eintracht kit momentarily misled her.
  • Friedl showed irritation at the incident, and German outlets note a likely on-camera reunion in Bremen this weekend.
