The 1. FC Köln is the football club from the cathedral city. In the New sticker on T-Online you will find all the important messages about the “billy goats”.
At the beginning of February, the previously clubless Anthony Modeste switched to CF Intercity. Now the ex-striker of the 1st FC Köln has met for the first time for the Spanish third division team from Alicante. In the 2: 2 against the second representation of Real Madrid, Modeste achieved 1-0 with a fall back.
The Frenchman fights for relegation with his new club. As the bottom of the table, CF Intercity currently has six points behind the saving bank. Modeste’s contract initially only runs until the end of the season, but would extend a further season in the event of league sloping.
Fears confirmed: FC “longer” without Maina
The fears of 1. FC Köln have been confirmed. The second division team will have to do without Linton Maina for several weeks. The attacker suffered an injury to the ankle on Saturday evening in the game against Karlsruher SC. The association did not announce exactly how long the best template of the 2nd league will be.
The club only spoke of a “longer break” and that the FC “had to do without its offensive player”. Maina will definitely miss the games at SSV Ulm and at home against SV Darmstadt 98. It is currently still unclear whether the 25-year-old can be available again after the international break against SC Paderborn.
The 1. FC Köln worries about Linton Maina. The top template of the 2nd Bundesliga (ten assists) bent on Saturday evening in the away game at Karlsruher SC and had to be replaced after only 37 minutes. “It is an ankle injury, but we still don’t know exactly what it is,” said coach Gerhard Struber afterwards. “The ankle shines a bit, that’s not the best sign. We have to take a picture and wait for the diagnosis.”
Sports director Christian Keller also fears that FC will have to do without Maina first. “Linton got something on the ankle. What, we have to investigate tomorrow. But there could be a failure.” Maina had injured Mikkel Kaufmann in a duel with KSC striker in the 15th minute.

The 1. FC Köln can fall back on Eric Martel and Jan Thielmann at the away game in Karlsruhe on Saturday. The duo replaces the blocked Leard Pacarada and U21-Youngster Emin Kujovic in the matchday squad. When FC set off for the away game on Friday, both changes in the contingent were confirmed, which had already been indicated during the week.
In addition, coach Gerhard Struber did not have to accept any further setbacks, so that he was able to take his strength to take his strength to the KSC except for Pacarada and the longer injured players (Lemperle, Pauli, Uth, Kilian, Christensen).
So Struber found his first carnival session

The team of 1. FC Köln on Weiberfastnacht can only follow the start of the street carnival from a safe distance. Shortly before the peak of the session, the second division team held its mandatory matchday press conference on Thursday at 11 a.m. before the away game at Karlsruher SC. The annual FC meeting in the Maritim Hotel on Heumarkt was already two days ago.
