Cologne: Baumgart does not plan with Thielmann for the starting

It goes ahead. Step by step, of which the last should follow soon. He rises again this week, Steffen Baumgart explained on Monday to Jan Thielmann. But that the fast as a strong 19-year-old on Saturday in Freiburg is already a candidate for the starting eleven, his coach does not see. I would neglect that, says Baumgart.

If a longer than ten days is out, he must first work ran. It is also important, just as far as the burden is concerned, that you can not simply play him, but sees that we have a longer route in front of us If it is important that the boys are accordingly again accordingly , Köln's coach does not want to overflow, That's why I would not plan him from the beginning.

For the 20s bid, it could be enough for Thielmann, whose role on the right wing against Bochum Dejan Ljubicic could rich. Depending on how the personnel situation represents on weekends. Whether he comes to the squad, you will see. That also depends on who will return healthy from the international matches, explains Baumgart.

New addition HÜBERS missing the FC

At Thielmann, the coach allows forefront and foresight. At a different convalescent, he does not really have the opportunity. Timo Hübers, who complained in the week after the 1st match day after a blow on the heel about knee problems, did not train the team on Monday, but worked individually.

At the time of his return to the team circle, Baumgart remains only a shrug. I can not tell you exactly. I was hoping that the international room is enough. Now we are a week before Freiburg and he is not there yet, says the 49-year-old, so it's not the same as we do introduce ourselves.

That's why he will play this season.

Baumgart about HÜBERS

Patience is in demand in the center defender, who has already ripped the cruciate ligament in his career in both knees and has since been considered injury. The slow recovery orders Baumgart as not worrying.

That's normal, especially with such stories, in which it is about the sensation of pain. He's progress, is in a good area, he says, saying, That's why he will play this season - against Freiburg, faith not me. Thus, Jorge Meré or the Luca Kilian committed before the Bochum game is likely to start in addition to Rafael Czichos in the defense center.
