Michael Zetterer - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Completes Leeds move Zetterer completed a permanent move from Frankfurt to Leeds United on a three-year deal Saturday.

Impact Zetterer joins Leeds United to presumably fill the No. 2 role behind James Trafford between the posts. After Lucas Perri was loaned to Torino, Zetterer will add competition between the posts. He becomes Leeds' fifth signing of the 2026/27 season after making 27 appearances for Frankfurt in the 2025/26 campaign between the Bundesliga and UCL play, racking up 86 saves, allowing 44 goals and keeping six clean sheets.

AUGUST 29 • ROTOWIRE

Five saves for draw Zetterer had five saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-2 draw against VfB Stuttgart.

Impact Zetterer stopped five of seven shots during Saturday's draw. The goalkeeper ended the season as the starter after Kaua Santos went down with an injury, but when both were fit they split time throughout. Zetterer should compete for the starting role again in 2026/27.

MAY 17 • ROTOWIRE

Five saves in loss Zetterer registered five saves and allowed three goals in Friday's 3-2 defeat against Borussia Dortmund.

Impact Zetterer stopped five of the eight shots he faced during Friday's defeat. The goalkeeper was tasked with stopping some major chances, but couldn't quite slow down an excellent Dortmund attack. Zetterer has been solid since taking the full time job with Kaua Santos out injured, and seems set to close out the campaign against Stuttgart.

MAY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Two saves for defeat Zetterer had two saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Hamburger SV.

Impact Zetterer stopped two of the four shots he faced Saturday, ending up with a disappointing loss. The goalkeeper really would have wanted to do better, as he faced only four shots in the match. It's a frustrating loss for Zetterer, who has been mixed since assuming the full-time starting role following the injury to Kaua Santos.

MAY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Two saves for draw Zetterer made two saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw against FC Augsburg.

Impact Zetterer stopped two of the three shots he faced during Saturday's match, good enough to earn the draw. It's a nice return to a decent showing, but with the chances Frankfurt had, Zetterer really would have wanted to win this one. He has three more matches left in the Bundesliga to try and prove he can be a long-term starter.

APRIL 26 • ROTOWIRE

Five saves Saturday Zetterer had five saves and allowed three goals in Saturday's 3-1 defeat against RB Leipzig.

Impact Zetterer stopped five of the eight shots he faced during Saturday's frustrating loss to Leipzig. The goalkeeper wasn't at his best, but the team in front of him did little to limit some very dangerous chances. Zetterer could have done more, but with a single goal of support anything more than a draw was likely fanciful thinking.

APRIL 20 • ROTOWIRE

Six saves for win Zetterer had six saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 2-1 victory against Wolfsburg.

Impact Zetterer faced seven shots during Saturday's win, and was excellent to earn all three points. He made some huge saves in the second half and was causing issues for the Wolfsburg attack throughout. Zetterer is in excellent form and should continue to get better as the Frankfurt defense gets more consistent.

APRIL 13 • ROTOWIRE

Excellent for draw Zetterer made seven saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus 1. FC Koln.

Impact Zetterer stopped seven of the nine shots he faced during Sunday's draw. The Frankfurt defense is a huge problem and often leaves Zetterer hung out to dry. He often takes on massive volume and some high-danger chances, which will make clean sheets hard to come by behind such a porous defense.

APRIL 6 • ROTOWIRE

Three saves for loss Zetterer made three saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-1 loss versus Mainz.

Impact Zetterer faced five shots, stopped three of them and was left with the loss. He didn't have a bad showing heading into the international break, it just wasn't good enough for all three points. He didn't get much help from the team in front of him, but Zetterer still would have wanted one of the goals he conceded back.

Impact Zetterer faced one shot, saved it, and earned the clean sheet and win against Heidenheim. A win and clean sheet is always nice, but Zetterer wasn't really tested throughout Saturday's clash. It was a good showing on the whole and a good performance to build Zetterer's confidence as he starts with Kaua Santos injured.

MARCH 16 • ROTOWIRE

Decent in draw Zetterer had two saves and allowed zero goals in Sunday's 0-0 draw against FC St. Pauli.

Impact Zetterer stopped both shots he faced after stepping into the net with Kaua Santos injured. The goalkeeper didn't have much to do in a jammy clash, and ended up with the clean sheet. He will hope to build off this clean sheet in the coming domestic matches.

Impact Zetterer came on when Kaua Santos left injured, and was solid to keep the clean sheet. He didn't have much to do, making two saves on the two shots he faced, but it was still solid. Santos' injury should give Zetterer a run of matches in the starting XI for the coming weeks.

MARCH 2 • ROTOWIRE

One save for draw Zetterer made one save and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Hamburger SV.

Impact Zetterer only faced two shots during Saturday's clash. He stopped one of them and couldn't stop the other leaving with a disappointing draw. Neither Frankfurt goalkeeper covered themself in glory during the first half of the season, so it's possible Zetterer faces a challenge from Kaua Santos for the starting job during the back half of the campaign.

DECEMBER 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Single save for win Zetterer made one save and allowed zero goals in Saturday's 1-0 win against FC Augsburg.

Impact Zetterer wasn't overly tested during Saturday's win, but he made the one crucial save he needed to make to earn the win.

DECEMBER 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Miserable night in loss Zetterer conceded six goals on 16 shot attempts (seven on target) and had one clearance in Saturday's 6-0 loss versus Leipzig.

Impact It is hard to fault Zetterer for his performance Saturday, Frankfurt was out coached, out played and out hustled from the opening kick.

DECEMBER 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Two saves for point Zetterer registered two saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Wolfsburg.

Impact Zetterer made a pair of saves on three shots faced during Sunday's draw over Wolfsburg. The goalkeeper did well to shut down some big chances but couldn't quite earn the clean sheet.

Impact After two consecutive clean sheets, Zetterer conceded three goals in back-to-back matches in all competitions while making five saves.

Two saves in win Zetterer recorded two saves and allowed three goals in Saturday's 4-3 victory versus 1. FC Koln.

Impact Zetterer faced five shots and stopped three of them, doing just enough to earn the win during Saturday's clash with Koln. Goalkeeping has been a problem for Frankfurt throughout the season, so the hope will be that Zetterer can find form in the busy December period. If he can't Kaua Santos could get another run in the starting XI.

NOVEMBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Registers clean sheet Zetterer registered no saves and secured a clean sheet in Sunday's 1-0 win versus Mainz.

Impact Zetterer kept a clean sheet during Saturday's win, though he didn't have much to do. He stopped the only shot he faced and came away with a comfortable win. This was a solid defensive showing after a string of poor showings both in the backline and between the posts. Zetterer has consistently rotated with Kaua Santos, though Zetterer has been the better of the two of late.

OCTOBER 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Blown away Wednesday Zetterer made nine saves and allowed five goals in Wednesday's 5-1 defeat to Liverpool.

Impact Zetterer stopped nine of the 14 shots he faced during Wednesday's loss. The goalkeeper wasn't poor during the match, but was totally overwhelmed by the Liverpool attack. The defense and midfield in front of Zetterer have offered him no help throughout the season, with both him and Kaua Santos struggling to stem the tide.
