“How smart it is to ask the sports director for a promotion bonus one day after a last-minute blow to the neck… You can’t learn timing,” said Bornemann on Monday at “Sport 1”.
Irvine and Hartel are suspended
Schultz also has to make the sporting turnaround with reduced staff. For the first time this season, St. Pauli is affected by a yellow card suspension: Jackson Irvine and Marcel Hartel are missing against the “Club”.
Irvine played in central, defensive midfield against Darmstadt. Schultz would like to replace him there with regular “six” Eric Smith. However, the Swede is injured (once again) and “not an option for Friday,” as Schultz emphasized.
Several alternatives on the flank
That’s why it says in Afeez Aremu only has one alternative available. The 22-year-old should definitely have a starting XI, especially since Schultz described him as a “predestined player” for this position on Wednesday.
The situation is different with the replacement for Hartel. Schultz has a number of options on the outside. “Etienne Amenyido has already done well there, Christopher Buchtmann and Rico Benatelli also know the position,” said St. Pauli’s coach.
