Official statement: http://www.werder.de/aktuell/news/profis/20162017/schmidt-lizenzspielervertrag-08072016/ "This is the goal eventually to work towards of every young footballer. But I am also aware that it is only a first step in my development, "said Schmidt, who was already in the winter preparation of the U23 training camp at Belek. "That was invaluable experience for me. Now I would like to gain more impressions and prove myself for the U23 and for the Bundesliga club."
Eric Oelschlägel is on the Germany Olympics team standby list as one of the potential back up goalkeepers. We're also looking to find a club for him to go out on loan and receive more match practice next season.
