StuttgartNets first Stuttgart goal
Promel scored a goal while taking three shots (one on goal) during Friday's 4-1 win over Koln.
Analysis: Promel found the back of the net in the 60th minute scoring Stuttgart's second goal while finishing with the second most shots on the team. The goal was the first since joining Stuttgart in the summer for Promel as he's played the entirety of each Bundesliga match so far, combining for five shots and two chances created.
Busy in loss
Promel generated two shots (one on goal) and two chances created in Friday's 5-1 loss to Bayern Munich. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 93rd minute.
Analysis: Promel and co. ended up on the wrong side of a lopsided scoreline Friday, but it was still a good showing. The midfielder did well throughout the match and was creative. He caused issues for the backline and was solid with the rest of the Stuttgart attack. He should have more chances to contribute in the coming weeks against beatable opponents.
Returns in friendly
Promel (calf) made the starting XI in Saturday's offseason clash against Everton.
Analysis: Promel is no longer dealing with the issue that limited his participation in previous weeks. The midfielder was in and out of the starting lineup last season, and it remains unclear whether he'll play a major role even if he's fit for future contests. However, he offers a quality alternative to Angelo Stiller and Chema in central positions.
Rejoins team training
Promel (calf) has rejoined team training at Stuttgart's camp in Grassau am Chiemsee, according to the club.
Analysis: Promel had been sidelined by a calf knock that also cost him the earlier friendly against Paris FC, though he had already downplayed the issue as nothing serious before heading to the camp. His return to full sessions confirms that assessment, positioning him to continue integrating with his new club as preseason continues following his summer move from Hoffenheim.
Suffers calf blow
Promel took a blow to the calf in training and is not in Stuttgart's squad selected by coach Sebastian Hoeness for Saturday's friendly against Paris FC, according to the club.
Analysis: Promel joined Stuttgart this summer from Hoffenheim, bringing significant Bundesliga experience after making 87 appearances there with 14 goals and eight assists, following an earlier spell at Union Berlin where he tallied 20 goals and 10 assists across 141 appearances. His absence from this friendly is a minor early setback so soon after the move, and his path back into training will be worth monitoring as he looks to integrate with his new club ahead of the season.
Signs for Stuttgart
Promel has joined Stuttgart from Hoffenheim on a contract until June 2029, according to his new club.
Analysis: Promel brings significant Bundesliga experience to the club, having made 141 appearances for Union Berlin across all competitions between 2018 and 2022, contributing 20 goals and 10 assists, before spending three seasons at Hoffenheim where he made 87 appearances and contributed 14 goals and eight assists. Sporting director Fabian Wohlgemuth praised Promel's footballing quality, ambition and the wealth of experience he brings, while also highlighting his strong regional ties as an added factor in the recruitment. Promel himself described the move as a dream come true, having grown up supporting Stuttgart from nearby Esslingen, and expressed his excitement at the prospect of featuring in the Champions League with the club next season. He also won a silver medal with Germany's Olympic team at the 2016 Rio Games and has earned 18 Germany youth caps alongside four appearances with the Olympic squad.
Returning from suspension
Promel is no longer suspended and is an option for his club again.
Analysis: Promel is returning to action after a quick hiatus, having served a one-game ban through yellow card accumulation. The club now gains back a midfielder who has earned a starting role as of late, notching seven goals and two assists in 31 appearances (16 starts) this season.
Shown fifth yellow card
Promel was shown his fifth yellow card of the season during Saturday's 2-1 win over Hamburg.
Analysis: Promel subbed into the match in the second half and was shown his fifth yellow card of the season in the 68th. The midfielder will miss next week's match against Stuttgart through supension though he hasn't started either of Hoffenheim's last two matches.
