Karlsruhe (dpa / lsw) – Karlsruher SC has personal worries on the defensive before the game at SV Sandhausen. In addition to central defender Stephan Ambrosius, who has to take a break on Sunday (1.30 p.m. / Sky) due to a yellow-red suspension, his substitute Christoph Kobald is now plagued by a flu infection. “It doesn’t look so good right now,” said coach Christian Eichner on Friday. Daniel O’Shaughnessy, Florian Ballas and Felix Irorere would be alternatives for the Austrian. “If he fails, someone else will play and he will do his best,” the KSC coach is convinced.
After the 2-1 home win against Fürth outnumbered, KSC wants to follow up with local rivals around 40 kilometers away in the relegation battle of the 2nd Bundesliga. “We need to immerse ourselves in the world of SV Sandhausen again. That’s nothing new. But we will also need our football skills to draw the opponent into our world,” said Eichner, who looks back to Alois Schwartz and his KSC predecessor will meet. The 2345 guest cards of the KSC at the table penultimate, which is three points worse, are already completely sold out. However, many more Karlsruhe fans are expected.
