Official club statements indicate that free agent Ivan Ordets is training with Arminia Bielefeld over the coming days. The 33-year-old centre-back and former Ukrainian international was with the team on Tuesday. Ordets has been without a club since his contract with VfL Bochum concluded in the summer, and he made 82 appearances for the club between 2022 and 2025. He might be offered a contract with Bielefeld if his training performances are satisfactory.
