Hennes IX. not in the stadium today |
Why Cologne’s cult buck fails!
“If you have shit on your shoe, you have shit on your shoe!”
With this saying Cologne coach left Stephen Baumgart (50) listen up last. Because at FC the “crap” has been piling up enormously in the last few days…
Now Hennes IX also falls. out!
The cult buck will be missing against Hoffenheim today (7.30 p.m. / DAZN). Reason: Hennes has a cold and stays in his enclosure at the Cologne Zoo.
His carer Bernd Marcordes says: “It’s nothing serious, just a cold. Hennes is doing better than last week. But just like athletes stay at home when they are sick, we will do the same with Hennes. He should rest and recover in the beautiful Cologne Zoo. Hopefully FC will win on Sunday without Hennes and then I’m sure he’ll be back soon.”
Hennes regularly follows the home games from the sidelines. He only had to take a break during the Corona phase, when animals were forbidden in the stadiums.
But otherwise, FC is anything but in the mood for the game against Hoffenheim!
► Because the game at FC Slovacko (1-0) in the Conference League had only taken place on Friday due to the fog shift, the Cologne team wanted the league game against TSG to be postponed to January. Cologne, Hoffenheim and the DFL could not agree on a date.
► In addition: A total of up to 10 players are threatened with injury! Central defender Luca Kilian (23) is also missing with a yellow-red suspension.
However, there is hope for Linton Maina (23): He was substituted on in the Slovacko game and then substituted again after a bad foul. Baumgart spoke afterwards of an “attack”. Apparently the attacker got the thigh problems under control, Maina trained with the team on Sunday morning to “sweat”.
► The record against Hoffenheim is a disaster: Eight bankruptcies in a row, 4:26 goals, no own goal in the last three games.
For the fan return Köln-Bock Hennes trains La-Ola!

One can only hope that Hennes squeezes his hooves three times in his enclosure!
