Karlsruhe (dpa/lsw) – Although Karlsruher SC has not won twice in a row in the 2nd Bundesliga, coach Christian Eichner trusts his regular formation. “This is a moment when a team has found where processes are right,” said the coach one day before the game on Friday (6:30 p.m. / Sky) at promoted Eintracht Braunschweig. In the game in the penultimate table, which the coach considers balanced, Lucas Cueto will be absent due to a (Achilles tendon irritation). Lazar Mirkovic will replace him in the squad.
Karlsruhe’s coach is even more excited about the weeks after the upcoming international break. “Extremely many players came back. We had 24, 25 players in training this week,” explained Eichner.
The two central defenders Christoph Kobald and Florian Ballas have been back for four weeks and Daniel O’Shaughnessy and Felix Irorere joined a few days ago. The two friendlies during the international break against FC Winterthur next Wednesday and 1. FSV Mainz on the following Thursday should give the coaching team valuable information about their resilience.
