Adriano Grimaldi will be out for the time being due to tendinitis in his ankle – not the only worry for 1. FC Saarbrücken.
It is not yet clear how long the top scorer, who has scored six goals so far this season, will be missing for Saarbrücken. “It can be a question of days, but also of weeks “, is the prognosis of coach Uwe Koschinat. After a run of four goals in three games, the 30-year-old recently went three games in a row without scoring. Against 1860 Munich (1:1), the Saarlanders managed to get a point, but in the two derbies against Mannheim (0:1) and Kaiserslautern (0:2), a goal from the former Uerdinger could have created a much better atmosphere in the Saar.
Mario Müller also suffered a capsule injury in his ankle during the 4-0 win over FSV Jägersburg in the Saarland state cup. An examination this Thursday should provide clarity on the amount of time he will be out of action. Robin Scheu (hardening of the thigh) and Sebastian Bösel (muscular problems) complete the list.
The situation is even worse for substitute goalkeeper Jonas Hupe. The 21-year-old will be operated on next Monday due to a meniscus injury and will therefore be absent for the next few weeks.
