When the Bundesliga resumes its season in a couple of weeks, Hertha BSC will face Nürnberg in a matchup to watch in Bavaria.
With FCN battling relegation, they have made an effort to shore up a leaky defence that features U.S. international star Timothy Chandler. Future U.S. national team member Omar Gonzalez has been loaned to 'Der Klub' from the MLS champion L.A. Galaxy, a side that features David Beckham and Robbie Keane. The 23-year-old Gonzalez was MLS defender of the year.
"We are excited to have Omar with us at training camp," Martin Bader, the sport executive and spokesperson at FC Nürnberg, said in a statement on the club's website. "We were planning on signing him this summer, but we were offered the chance to secure his services until at least the middle of February.
"After Philipp Wollscheid's transfer, we needed to consider a way to strengthen our central defence for the coming season. And Omar is an interesting candidate — a young, talented player who could represent FC Nürnberg well.”
