Hertha BSC experienced a bitter season finale in Bielefeld. Janne Berner debuted in the 1:6 loss to Arminia, but had to leave the pitch injured after 62 minutes.

What happened?

The 21-year-old was in the starting lineup of Hertha's professionals for the first time and was allowed to start against Arminia from the beginning. But after a great chance in the first minute, Berner stumbled and the ball went just wide of the post.

Why is it important for Hertha BSC?

Coach Stefan Leitl had long decided against using academy players because he wanted to finish the season with maximum focus and full performance. Berner replaced Michal Karbownik in the team, who was absent due to hip problems.

What comes next?

There is no exact diagnosis for Berner's injury yet. The right-back was able to collect 2120 minutes of playtime in the regional league this season. His contract with Hertha BSC runs until 2028.
