Bundesliga club 1. FC Köln will have to do without the sick Mark Uth in the Rhenish derby on Sunday (3.30 p.m. / DAZN) at Bayer Leverkusen. Ondrej Duda is expected to replace the offensive player. “He would be a possibility,” said coach Steffen Baumgart on Friday, but also named Dejan Ljubicic as an option. Defender Timo Hübers is coming back to the team after surviving the corona infection.
The coach wants to “win” in Leverkusen. Because: “We want to reduce the gap to the top.” His plan: “We want to attack early and have a lot of possession. We want to win balls and create chances.” FC are eighth, just a point behind seventh, which may still qualify them for European competition.
