Jurman: Whether Schick will return to the starting lineup is yet to be determined, the team will go all out to focus on qualifying for the German Cup

October 29 News At 1 a.m. on October 30, in the second round of the German Cup, Leverkusen played away against Paderborn. Before the game, head coach Kasper Jurman was interviewed by the media at a press conference.

■About Schick

Urmann said: "Sik has worked very hard during his comeback, and he has made further progress in the past few days. I will not disclose who will play or not play the day before the game. We have very good choices on the front line."

■Urmann also did not disclose who will be the starting goalkeeper against Paderborn

"Fleken is our obvious choice. Definitely the number one goalkeeper, we have full confidence in him. But the same applies to Braswig and Rombo. They have trained very well. You will see who will play in Paderborn tomorrow."

Leverkusen won the German Cup in the 2023-24 season, when the team also won the Bundesliga title for the first time under Xabi Alonso and remained unbeaten throughout the season. However, last season, they were eliminated in the semi-finals after an upset loss to Bielefeld, who was still in the German third division at the time.

Yurman finally said: "We respect both this event and our opponents, but at the same time we will go all out and focus on advancing."
