Augsburg (dpa / lby) – After defender Felix Uduokhai was injured, FC Augsburg is forced to “be creative” in the Bundesliga. Coach Enrico Maaßen reported before the game at TSG 1899 Hoffenheim this Saturday (3:30 p.m.) that two more central defenders, Frederik Winther and Reece Oxford, were out. That’s why he’s also thinking about a system change.
Either some FCA professionals would have to play in unpracticed positions. Or there is a switch to a back four in defence. “After the setbacks, we don’t want to let our cards be looked at,” Maassen said on Thursday. FC Augsburg wanted to “remain courageous” against Hoffenheim, the coach announced.
Uduokhai tore his syndesmosis ligament during the home defeat against FSV Mainz 05 last Saturday. He’s out for a long time.
