SHOCKING SQUAD NUMBERS REVEALED FOR PRESEASON!
In a surprising twist, Florian Wirtz and Milos Kerkez will be taking the pitch with some eye-catching jersey numbers during the 2025 preseason campaign.
Wirtz has been handed the number 59, while Kerkez will wear 57 — both far from the traditional numbers typically associated with first-team stars. These choices have sparked plenty of conversation among fans, with many wondering if there’s any hidden meaning behind the digits — or if they’re just temporary placeholders until the official selections arrive.
It’s worth noting that preseason numbers are often provisional, especially for players joining new setups or making their way back from international duty. The finalized shirt numbers will be officially unveiled in August, alongside the long-awaited new kit launch — an event that always stirs excitement among the fanbase. Expect bold designs, new sponsors, and perhaps even more surprises when the full squad list is confirmed.
Fan Debate Time:
Do these high squad numbers reflect anything symbolic, or are they just random picks for now?
Would you prefer to see Wirtz in a classic attacking midfielder number like 10 or 8?
Should Kerkez, as a fullback, take on a more traditional defensive number like 3 or 5?
Head over to our latest post to see how the two look in their preseason kits.
