Cologne coach Lukas Kwasniok is optimistic about the next Bundesliga clash despite the latest injury layoffs. "I hope that all good things come in threes," said the 44-year-old ahead of the home game against RB Leipzig on Sunday (3.30pm/Sky), alluding to a possible third consecutive home win for Cologne.
The fact that two players, attacker Linton Maina and full-back Alessio Castro-Montes, are once again missing, "I'm sorry for the boys because they've been in good form recently", emphasized Kwasniok, "but I trust the squad, now others have the chance to prove themselves".
However, the soccer coach did not reveal too much about the line-up against Leipzig, who have lost twice recently. Just this much: Joel Schmied will return to the team - albeit not as a starting eleven option.
