The Downs Downs, injured on the left hand, returned to team training on Thursday with a special rail, but had to stop the unit after half an hour. Subsequently, Gerhard Struber said: “The pain is currently still at a level that makes Damion a bit out of the concept. So he wobbles.”

Mark Uth had already lacked the previous day due to an infection. “We have one or the other question mark,” said Struber, who has to hope for a quick recovery. Otherwise the Cologne squad really goes on the gums.
