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”.
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.
For FC coach Gerhard Struber, this was the first real encounter with the Cologne Carnival. “It was a nice, cool evening. We really had fun with each other,” the Austrian looked back at the meeting. For the trainer, it is “a new moment to experience how the party is celebrated here and what the carnival does with people.” Already on Wednesday morning, however, the FC professionals were back on the training ground and prepared for the duel at the KSC.

Eric Martel is fit again. The key player on the defensive of the 1st FC Köln rose entirely into the team training of the billy goats on Wednesday. The duel and running of six is available to FC for the away game at Karlsruher SC on Saturday evening.
While Martel survived his muscle injury, Tim Lemperle, on the other hand, was missing again in training. The striker will also not be available to the FC as well as Julian Pauli, who continues to laborate the consequences of a head injury.
