Freiburg confirm three departures after season's final matchday
At his Thursday press conference, SC Freiburg trainer Christian Streich confirmed the departure of three players following the final fixture of the season.
Former Dutch international Til has evidently been called back prematurely by parent club Spartak Moscow. German footballing magazine Kicker reports that the RPL club wishes to re-loan the once capped national team player to Feynoord Rotterdam.
Freiburg initially had a two-year-loan arrangement with Til, now cancelled after an injury-plagued campaign limited the 23-year-old to just seven appearances.
"It's a pity that he's not been able to play so much," Streich noted.
Midfielder Chang-Hoon Kwon, who made just 11 appearances this year, is also headed for the exits after Saturday's match. As is sometimes the case with young Korean internationals, an obligatory military commitment necessities a recall to the peninsula.
"He will go to a military club that has been promoted from the second to first division," Streich reported, without giving any further details or noting when and if Kwon might return.
The big news of the day concerned the departure of Germany U20 prospect Lino Tempelmann, who will join second-tier Bavarians 1. FC Nürnberg next year as part of a large-scale personnel overhaul undertaken by FCN sporting director Dieter Hecking.
Tempelmann made only ten appearances for the SCF this season, but is widely regarded by many to be a young player with an excellent skill set. Both Streich and Hecking had praise for the 22-year-old ahead on the coming loan.
