Story Summary
Fischtown Pinguins Bremerhaven have sustained further personnel setbacks ahead of the international break. Florian Reinwald will be unavailable until further notice, while Vladimir Eminger will miss the club’s final two DEL matches before the pause.
The absences leave Bremerhaven with a reduced group for their immediate schedule. Reinwald was the last remaining under-age player available to the team, so his absence removes that option for the time being.
There is more encouraging news from team training. Alex Broadhurst and Nino Kinder have returned to the ice and are training with the squad again. A decision on whether either player can return to game action this coming weekend will be made at short notice.

IHM Discussion
The update presents a mixed picture for Bremerhaven at a demanding point in the calendar. That makes it impossible to place a timetable on when the group will be back to full strength.
Broadhurst and Kinder offer a more positive counterweight, but their return to team training is not yet confirmation of a match return. Their availability for the weekend remains subject to a short-notice decision. For now, Bremerhaven are balancing fresh absences against the possibility of recovering two players before the break.
Why It Matters
The final DEL games before an international break can be important opportunities to get through a short stretch with as much of the squad intact as possible. Bremerhaven already know they will be without Eminger for both fixtures and without Reinwald for an unspecified period.
Broadhurst and Kinder training again gives the club potential additional options, but only if they are cleared to return to competition. Until that decision is made, the personnel situation remains tight rather than resolved.
