Cologne keeper Timo Horn (28) threatens the Corona-Ko in the fight for his box!
“Will Horn miss his No. 1 final on Tuesday in the cup against HSV,” BILD wrote yesterday after Horn was out ill. It is now clear that his chances of being used are getting smaller and smaller. Because according to BILD information, Horn has Corona.
That means: Cologne’s goalkeeper can try to get tested after the usual five days at the earliest on Friday. Even if that succeeds, Horn will only have three training sessions before the round of 16 that is so important to him.
► Because it was precisely in the game that Cologne’s real number 1 should be back in the box for the first time after eight weeks and convince coach Steffen Baumgart (50) that he has to be the regular goalkeeper for the rest of the season.
Baumgart knows what that means for Horn: “Timo is clearly behind. A mission against HSV will be rather difficult. The situation is not easy for him. But the most important thing is that he gets well first. After that we have to reassess the situation.”
So it’s possible that Horn will get another chance…
