Despite the party, alcohol and facial injuries, Tim Lemperle can continue to hope for an assignment in the season finale. In the meantime, it is also clear who did the footballer.
For many fans of the 1st FC Köln, the party slat itself is reason enough to no longer use Tim Lemperle in the season finale on Sunday against 1. FC Kaiserslautern. Friedhelm Funkel does not want to commit himself yet. “We have to see if it is operational at all. If this is the case, it will be my authority to decide whether he will also play,” the FC coach told the “Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger” on Thursday.
His facial injuries carried out alone would probably not prevent the striker. “They are not the most serious,” Funkel confirmed to the “Bild” newspaper. Lemperle had already trained very easily.
But even with the coach, the party night was certainly not well received a week before the season finale, which is why Funkel initially wants to have a conversation with the player. “Then we see how it goes on. In peace and quiet and without hectic pace.” However, the 71-year-old admitted, the probability that he would be “still big”.
The perpetrator is itself FC fan
In the meantime, it is also clear who Lemperle beat on Sunday evening. The accused is a master craftsman Colognewho himself visits FC games. He reported to the police about his lawyer. The one in turn confirmed on Wednesday that an investigation is due to suspected assault against a person who is said to have beaten the FC professional.
The accused’s lawyer told the WDR that the argument last Sunday could have been a self -defense situation.
Tim Lemperle had two per thousand alcohol in his blood
FC professional Tim Lemperle had celebrated on a party ship in Rodenkirchen, he is said to have had more than two per thousand alcohol in the blood. According to the lawyer, the striker should have noticed his behavior. Once through his intensive alcohol consumption, which some other guests, also in relation to the decisive promotion game and the preparation, saw very critically. But also because – according to the accused’s lawyer – he is said to have flirted inappropriately.
His client then asked Lemperle to go. Then the situation initially calmed down until both of them had met on the street again and the previous dispute should have been escalating. Lemperle suffered a broken nose, the accused was also injured according to his lawyer.
Lemperle lawyer: Representations wrong
Lemperle’s lawyer rejected the allegations: “These representations are wrong and do not correspond to the facts,” lawyer Mathias Huse told the German Press Agency and emphasized that his client was not a suspect of the procedure, but was managed as an injured man.
However, he admitted that Lemperle was “strongly alcoholized”. “My client has been the victim of a crime and was not inconsiderably injured,” said Huse. In view of the ongoing procedure, there would be no further public statement. According to the Cologne police, Lemperle could not yet be heard.
Lemperle-Klat at the wrong time
The 1. FC Köln plays its decisive game for the promotion against 1. FC Kaiserslautern on match day 34 (Sunday, 3:30 p.m.). Of course, the Lemperle slat comes at the wrong time. “I don’t say anything about Tim Lemperle today,” said captain and defense chief Timo Hübers unequivocally on Wednesday after training: “We can climb on Sunday, so please ask me questions about the sporty.”
The Cologne team have everything in their own hands on the last day of the day, but the task is not an easy one. In the event of a draw or a victory, the direct promotion is determined, and for Kaiserslautern it is still possible to jump to the relegation rank in a win. Lemperle is the best scorer of his team with ten goals and six templates, and he prepared both goals in the important 2-1 last Friday at 1. FC Nürnberg.
The striker from Cologne’s departure after the season has been clear for a long time. According to matching media reports, Lemperle has already signed a contract with TSG Hoffenheim.
