The goalkeeper was a last-minute starter for this match due to an injury to Marc Flekken but is expected to return to a backup role once the latter is fit again. Blaswich has recorded 29 saves, conceded eight goals and kept no clean sheets across his last five appearances in all competitions. He will face Leipzig next Saturday.

Heroic for draw Blaswich registered five saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Monchengladbach.

Impact Blaswich stopped five of the six shots he faced during Saturday's draw, putting together an excellent showing.

That said, the goalie should remain a backup option this season, serving behind Mark Flekken.

Impact Blaswich split time with the injured Peter Gulacsi, leaving a true goalkeeping competition for the second half of the season. Gulacsi isn't a spring chicken but Blaswich isn't either, so this could be a true goalkeeping competition heading into the 2024/25 campaign. It's possible one of the goalkeeper's is sold or loaned to try and avoid that issue, meaning this is one to watch during the offseason.
