Stuttgart hand Champions League debut to 20-year-old Dennis Seimen against Atletico Madrid

Seimen set for first Champions League start

VfB Stuttgart have made their goalkeeping decision for Tuesday's Champions League clash with Atletico Madrid, with 20-year-old Dennis Seimen reportedly set to make his first start in the competition, according to Sky Germany.

Coach Sebastian Hoeneß had remained tight-lipped at his pre-match press conference on Monday about who would start in goal. However, the report suggests Seimen will be preferred to the more experienced Fabian Bredlow.

The two keepers have shared playing time in recent weeks. Seimen featured in the Bundesliga against Paderborn and Hamburger SV, while Bredlow was in goal for the Champions League win over Slovan Bratislava.

If selected, Seimen would become the youngest goalkeeper in Stuttgart's history to play in the Champions League.

Kick-off details

The match against Atletico Madrid, the La Liga runners-up, takes place at the MHPArena and kicks off at 21:00 CEST on Tuesday.
