New team, new hope: Lok Leipzig starts preparation for the season!
The anticipation for the new season of 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig is great, because there is exciting news from the club from the trade fair city. The club started preparing for the new regional league season on June 24, 2025 and is bringing a breath of fresh air into the team. The focus is particularly on the four new players who have joined the club: David Grözinger (26), who comes from BFC, Arne Rühlemann (20), the talented young player from Luckenwalde, Jonas Arcalean (28) from Walldorf and 18-year-old Hugo Eichler, a homegrown product from the club's academy. These reinforcements were necessary to prepare the team well for the challenges ahead.
In addition, two trial players are also in training: Oskar Preil (20) from Regensburg and Rilind Kabashi (22) from Kaiserslautern. The two could expand the squad if they take advantage of their opportunity. The situation surrounding goalkeeper Niclas Müller and Nico Rieger, who continue to train with the team as they have not yet found a new club, is particularly exciting. Tobias Dombrowa is in the individual training session due to foot problems, while Linus Zimmer is optimistically back after passing his return to sports test.
Team dynamics and changes
A special highlight is the married realignment of Alexander Siebeck, who returns to the training sessions as husband after the weekend. Such moments not only create team spirit, but also a strong identification of the players with the club.
The preparation for the coming season will begin with an exciting away game in Zwickau. The date is set for July 26th to complete the necessary work on the new pitch heating in the Plache Stadium. This smart approach shows that the club knows exactly how to optimize the infrastructure for the teams, which benefits not only the players but also the fans.
Transfer balance and squad development
Another interesting facet is the club's transfer balance, which shows an income and expenditure balance of 14 and 13 respectively in the 2024/25 season. This means that Lokomotiv has done its homework in the transfer business and can start the new season optimistically. The insights into the transfers and positions that transfermarkt.de lists in detail show that those responsible have shown a good hand.
With a fresh squad, committed players and positive dynamics, Lok Leipzig is starting the new season with a lot of momentum. The team is ready to take on the challenges and opportunities of the regional league. Fans and supporters can look forward to exciting games and an exciting summer of football!
