Serving as backup goalkeeper Blaswich has yet to feature in the Bundesliga this season but started the cup match against Wehen.

Impact Blaswich remains the second-choice goalkeeper behind Mark Flekken, leaving him without any Bundesliga minutes this season.

Unless Flekken is unavailable or rested, Blaswich is unlikely to see significant league action.

Impact Blaswich played the full 90 minutes in Saturday's 2-1 win over Koln, making two decisive saves that proved crucial in securing the three points, first denying Said El Mala with a sharp low stop when the young German forward was released clean through in the second half, then reacting well again moments later to keep the scoreline at 2-0 before Luca Waldschmidt's consolation. 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.

Impact Blaswich pitched the shutout that sealed Leverkusen's 2-0 aggregate victory and punched their ticket to the next round, coming up with a key late save once Olympiacos started to build real momentum and apply pressure.

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.

The role gives him a stable floor in favorable matchups, but with minutes clearly tied to injury cover, he remains a streamer rather than a long-term hold.

JANUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Concedes two in defeat Blaswich allowed two goals while making no saves during Tuesday's 2-0 loss to Olympiacos.

Impact Blaswich allowed two first half goals as Leverkusen dropped all three points to Olympiacos on Tuesday. The keeper should continue to start for at least one more match when Leverkusen take on Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga on Saturday.

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

Four saves in finale Blaswich registered four saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus Eintracht Frankfurt.

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.

This appears to be a real goalkeeping competition meaning it's tough to predict who will start week-to-week.
