ALEXANDER SCHWOLOW NEWS

Plays 45 Saturday Schwolow (undisclosed) appeared for 45 minutes in Saturday's friendly against Lyon.

Impact Schwolow picked up an injury in a friendly a few days ago but has already recovered from those issues, as he was back on the field for 45 minutes Saturday. This should leave him fit for the start of the campaign, although he is likely to serve as the club's backup keeper, probably not seeing too much time on the field.

Picks up injury Schwolow was held out of Saturday's 4-4 draw against Rangers due to injury, according to manager Bo Svensson.

Impact Schwolow has yet to compete in a friendly for Berlin this offseason, as he has been out due to an undisclosed injury. Not much has been released about the player's complications, with a return date still up in the air. However, he is set to be their backup keeper, so this isn't the biggest absence if he misses out on their opening match.

Makes first start Schwolow recorded four saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-0 defeat to RB Leipzig.

Impact Schwolow got the start with Frederik Ronnow (illness) sidelined Sunday. Schwolow was solid in the spot start, stopping four of the six shots he faced, but still coming away with the loss. Ronnow will be the top choice moving forward, with Schwolow falling back to the bench.

Back in training Schwolow (thigh) is back in training ahead of Wednesday's clash with Napoli.

Impact Schwolow is back in training and should be good to go for Wednesday's match though he is nothing more than a bench option behind Frederik Ronnow. The goalkeeper has yet to make an appearance for Union Berlin and shouldn't trouble Ronnow even with this run of bad form.

Late scratch Tuesday Schwolow picked up a thigh injury during warm ups and was replaced by Frederik Ronnow for Tuesday's DFB Pokal clash with Stuttgart.

Switches to Union Schwolow transferred to Union Berlin from Hertha, Union announced Wednesday.

Impact Schwolow is on the way to the other side of Berlin, making the swap to Union. The goalkeeper has struggled to hold onto a starting job, and hasn't played behind any impressive defensive units. Schwolow made 23 appearances (22 starts) for an awful Schalke side in 2022-23, keeping just two clean sheets. It would take an impressive pre-season for Schwolow to truly make this a competition for the starting job against Frederik Ronnow.

Impact Schwolow faced an eye-watering 13 shots and stopped seven of them. Unfortunately on a day where his team failed to put a shot on goal it was never going to be anything but a one-sided loss.

MAY 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Eight saves, concedes four goals Schwolow had eight saves and conceded four goals in Sunday's 4-0 loss to SC Freiburg.

Impact Schwolow has eight saves across both of his last two starts. However, he conceded more than three goals during both games started.

APRIL 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

JANUARY 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Four saves in loss Schwolow made four saves in Saturday's 2-0 loss against Bayern Munich.

Impact Schwolow did well to stop four of the six shots he faced, but couldn't slow down the impressive Bayern Munich attack. The goalkeeper has been held back by a poor defense in front of him, and has just two clean sheets in the opening 15 matches. New manager Thomas Reis has named Schwolow as the starter for the second half of the season, though Ralf Fahrmann has returned to full fitness.

NOVEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Schwolow made one save on the only shot he faced to come away with his second clean sheet in 14 starts. The veteran goalkeeper has found clean sheets few and far between since joining Schalke, but has found some semblance of form of late. Schwolow has put any conversation of Ralf Fahrmann taking the starting job down, at least heading into the Winter break.

NOVEMBER 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Allows two against Werder Schwolow made three saves and conceded two goals during Saturday's 2-1 loss against Werder Bremen.

Impact Schwolow couldn't do much to prevent either goal and made his job well against any other shot he faced throughout the match. The goalkeeper is currently second among all Bundesliga goalkeepers in saves made this season but has just one clean sheet over 13 starts and conceded multiple goals in each of the last six. He'll try to bounce back during Wednesday's home clash against Mainz.

NOVEMBER 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
