After the third defeat in the third league game, Hertha BSC is not only turbulent in sport. The club is also concerned with the allegations against newcomer Marius Gersbeck. Now club president Kay Bernstein has commented on the incident.
A dream came true for Marius Gersbeck when he returned to Hertha BSC. Born in Berlin, he returned to the Spree thanks to a buyback clause from KSC. Due to an incident at the training camp, the 28-year-old has not played a game this season.
The keeper is accused of seriously injuring a 22-year-old during a visit to a bar with friends from the ultra scene that was not allowed by the club. The victim was taken to the hospital with a concussion and multiple facial fractures, according to police. Three witnesses also weigh heavily on the Hertha goalkeeper, who was then suspended.
Hertha BSC: Bernstein fights for Gersbeck
Hertha President Kay Bernstein has now publicly commented on the serious allegations for the first time. “It concerns everyone because we also want to take responsibility for making objective and reasonable decisions. He has exceeded expectations in terms of cabin, training and athletic performance,” said the 42-year-old to “Sky”.
Bernstein did not want to comment specifically on the possible consequences that the club will express: “Now it is very difficult to find the right way. There will be no right way. There will be no winner in this whole incident. We wait for the investigations in Salzburg, and then there will be a decision. We are not yet ready to communicate that to the outside world.”
Tjark Ernst is currently between the posts at Hertha BSC. On Saturday evening, the club from the capital lost 3-0 at Hamburger SV.
