The 1. FC Köln plays first class this season. In the New sticker on T-Online you will find all the important messages about the “billy goats”.
The 1. FC Köln is worried about Jan Thielmann. The striker returned injured from the away game at TSG Hoffenheim to Cologne. The 23-year-old had already been replaced during the half-time break in the 1-0 win of the billy goats after suffering five fouls in the first half.
“We had to take Jan from the pitch due to injury. The ankle is thick,” said coach Lukas Kwasniok. “There are some injuries, four or five places that are bloody. Some have flipped off. Not maliciously, but it always hit Jan. In the end, he could no longer.” Studies in Cologne should show whether Thielmann will initially be canceled.
Spectacular derby in the Regionalliga West between Fortuna Düsseldorf and the 1st FC Köln: FC equalized in added time to 3: 3 after the goats at the Rheinische Rivals had already returned with 0: 3 – outnumbered.
FC keeper Mikolaj Marutzki had already seen the red card in the 8th minute when he caused a penalty. Deniz Bindemann (9th, 30th) and Mecha Quiala Tito (45th) actually ensured clear conditions for Düsseldorf. But after the break, Sargis Adamyan turned on the FC jersey.
The former Bundesliga striker prepared the 1: 3 by Safyan Toure in the 61st minute, scored in the 75th minute after a flank from the right side to 2: 3. And when the FC got a free kick in the third minute of stoppage time, the veteran took responsibility: Adamyan pulled the ball sharply in front of the Düsseldorf goal, and the ball actually landed deflected for the acclaimed 3: 3 online.

The professionals of 1st FC Köln made their way to Sinsheim on Thursday. Coach Lukas Kwasniok has not made a change in the squad for the away game at TSG Hoffenheim. This means that the FC competes with the same contingent as last Sunday against VfB Stuttgart. Accordingly, Jusuf Gazibegovic is not in the squad of the billy goats for the fourth time in a row. Furthermore, Marius Bülter (Achilleshne), Youssoupha Niang, Rav van den Berg (both shoulder injury) and Luca Kilian (cruciate ligament rupture) are missing.
