After the hard foul on Yan Couto in the DFB Cup, BVB feared the next defensive failure. Now there is obviously first clarity.
BVB defender Yan Couto did not injure himself in the first round of the DFB Cup against Rot-Weiss Essen (1-0) in the first round of the DFB Cup. Several media report this. Accordingly, Couto suffered a slight knee injury and painful bruise, but no structural injury. Use in the first Bundesliga game at FC St. Pauli next Saturday is even possible with the optimal course.
Couto was hit a few moments before the final round of Essen’s Kelsey Owusu with a stretched leg and open sole on the knee and subsequently had to be transported from the square with a stretcher.
Owusu had been insulted on social networks after the evil foul and partly covered with racism. The 21-year-old then deactivated his Instagram profile in coordination with the club. “I think it is unforgivable when a player gets so hard. But it is not unforgivable because the player is dark -skinned, but because the campaign is simply shit,” said Essen coach Uwe Koschinat.
