Who will start the journey to Regensburg for the cup game at 1. FC Köln? The more important question is who is not? Before meeting the Jahn, Lukas Kwasniok announced that he wanted to thin out the squad significantly. Specifically, the head coach did not become names, but with a view to the game on Sunday (3:30 p.m./Sky).
The billy goats welcomed ten new additions before the Bundesliga season. 25 field players looked after Kwasniok’s team in Friday training; Too many, as the former Paderborn said afterwards. “We are in the process of restricting the squad in one place or another. It is important to have talks,” said Kwasniok, according to the “Geissblog”. According to the coach, there should be a finger at those who can find a new club this summer: “There are decisions that one or the other will not be in the squad-there will be tendencies.”
Kwasniok: Players “open and honestly give the perspective on the way”
According to Kwasniok, the management planning was also a poker for those responsible in Cologne. “It was difficult to have talks in advance without knowing whether the newcomers really dribble up here.” Now the FC must “openly and honestly and honestly give the sorted players on the way and talk about possible borrowing or contract dissolutions.”
Kwasniok said a few days ago that striker Imad Rondic (26) has no future in Cologne. This should also apply to midfielder Jacob Christensen (24). Jusuf Gazibegovic (25) and Dominique Heintz (32) are traded as possible victims of the clean-up work after Kwasniok made it clear that they wanted to take the newcomers to Rav van den Berg (21) and Cenk Özkacar (24) with them. The latter could even be found in the starting eleven in Regensburg.
Further exchange speculation, also regardless of the upcoming cup game, is available in the TM rumor mill around Denis Huseinbasic (24), Learst Paçarada (30) and Eric Martel (23). For all rumors to departure at 1,1th FC Köln.
