Arminia Bielefeld must do without Sebastian Vasiliadis for the time being. After a Corona case in the family environment, the midfielder himself has tested positive.
The DSC announced the positive test result on Thursday afternoon. According to the statement, Vasiliadis had been “preventively tested after a positive result in his immediate family environment” and had already “immediately” gone into isolation. It is now clear that the German-Greek is out for the time being and will also not be an option in the Bundesliga home match against Cologne on Saturday.
His place in the starting eleven alongside captain Manuel Prietl could be taken by Fabian Kunze or Edimilson Fernandes. Vasiliadis was absent at the start of the season, but has started the last three consecutive games after his comeback at the end of October.
There are no other absentees in the squad at the moment. “All further tests of the professional players’ department showed a negative result “, says Arminia.
