SV Darmstadt 98 must continue to do without the sick Philipp Förster (30) for an indefinite period. It was currently not foreseeable when the offensive player will return, the lilies said. Förster had already missed the last three second division games.
At the press conference before the home game against Karlsruher SC on Friday (6:30 p.m.), club spokesman Jan Bergholz underlined that Förster’s lack of “expressly purely health reasons”. “We ask here to respect the player’s privacy,” he added. Coach Florian Kohfeldt titled any speculations about disciplinary reasons as “nonsense, perfect nonsense”.
Förster, who had signed in September after a short -lived in Bochum in Darmstadt in September, contributed four goals and templates in 16 games for the lilies. After the 21st matchday and the defeat against Elversberg (0: 3), the last effort of Förster, Kohfeldt had explained: “With Pipo, I think it is a bit so that he wants to go on the very good first round. And now you have the feeling that he almost wants too much. “
The following games against Braunschweig (0: 1) and Schalke (0: 2) missed forester due to illness, but then returned to the training ground and should also be part of the squad against Magdeburg (1: 4) last weekend. Shortly before the game, however, it was surprising again that forester would be sick again.
