Cologne’s keeper fight for the box is getting more and more curious.
A week ago, trainer Steffen Baumgart (50) announced that Timo Horn (28) apart from the training sessions, only the cup round of 16 on Tuesday against HSV remains to regain its number 1 status. And Horn is now in danger of missing the final.
Cologne’s goalkeeper is lying flat, and currently nobody can really say how long Horn will be out.
No problem for the league. Horn challenger Marvin Schwänke (26) is already set against Bayern on Saturday and a week later in Bochum. Cologne’s top talent Urbig can sit on the bench.
► The cup game, however, should be Horn’s first appearance since his ligament injury seven weeks ago. An all-or-nothing game for the native of Cologne, who has been a regular FC goalkeeper for nine years. During the international break at the end of January, Baumgart then wants to decide who is number 1 and who is the cup goalkeeper for the rest of the season.
