Sandhausen (dpa / lsw) – Second division soccer team SV Sandhausen will have to do without captain Dennis Diekmeier and midfield stabilizer Tom Trybull for the time being. The duo, who failed in the 2-1 defeat against 1. FC Nuremberg last weekend, will not be available for the game at Holstein Kiel on Sunday (1.30 p.m. / Sky). “We have to wait and see from day to day,” said SVS coach Alois Schwartz on Friday.
Kemal Ademi, Joseph Ganda (both knee problems), Oumar Diakhité (ankle injury) and Benedikt Grawe (appendectomy) will also be absent. Due to the numerous failures, Schwartz does not rule out a change in formation. The 55-year-old also hopes that his team will maintain their concentration this time after conceding two late goals. The lack of cleverness has already cost important points, said the coach of the 14th in the table.
Schwartz warned against Kiel, who lost 7-2 at SC Paderborn last matchday. “You will have anger in your stomach after the defensive debacle,” he said. “They’re a strong side that we’ll try to counter.”
