Hertha BSC goalkeeper Marius Gersbeck gets physical examination outside of the soccer field

Marius Gersbeck, the goalkeeper from Hertha BSC, got into an argument during the training camp of the Berlin football club in Zell am See. According to the police report, there was a verbal argument between Gersbeck and a 22-year-old locals in the early morning hours of last Sunday, which then escalated into a physical argument. The 28-year-old German is said to have violated the local "indefinite degree on the body".

After the incident, witnesses alerted the police who took the injured to the hospital. In the course of the police investigations, Gersbeck was investigated as a suspect and asked about the incident. It is currently no longer in the police custody and the investigation continued.

The newspaper "Bild" had previously reported that the argument took place in an inn in Zell am See, but this place was denied by the police. Hertha BSC only confirmed the investigation against one of her players and asked for understanding that no further information can be published due to the ongoing examinations.

Marius Gersbeck, who only returned from Karlsruher SC to Hertha BSC this season, was already the focus of the fans as a child due to his passion for the club. His transfer was celebrated by the supporters because it symbolically stands for the new orientation of the association, which aims to further develop the "Berliner Weg". It should be emphasized that Hertha BSC and the second division soccer team take Gersbeck's situation seriously and cooperate with the authorities.

It remains to be seen what the legal consequences for Gersbeck will look like, but these should be clarified as part of the legal examinations. The club management of Hertha BSC will surely observe the incident and, if necessary, take appropriate measures to ensure that such incidents will be avoided in the future.
