A doctor lie made him a battle hero!
The blood ran down the neck of Timothy Chandler (31) in streams in the jersey. According to his own statement, team doctor Florian Pfab sewed him on the back of the head at halftime for 15 minutes. And yet “the doc said it didn’t look too bad – he lied to me”, Chandler joked after the game ended: “It was a bigger cut, I actually thought it wouldn’t go on.”
The little swindle had an effect: after the head crash with Cologne defender Benno Schmitz, Blood-Skull Chandler made a good debut as a left-back with a blue and white turban.
Chandler: “We brought in passion, fought, fought.”

Talent Tuta continues to be sidelined. Stefan Ilsanker bucked after being substituted on. Erik Durm is likely to be out of action after a Kainz crash with a concussion.
And: Evan Ndicka is definitely missing in Antwerp on Thursday (6.45 p.m.) due to an overstretched left knee.
BILD white: Precisely because quality and personnel are essential on the outside positions, coach Oliver Glasner (47) plans to return to the three-man chain, according to BILD information, no later than the cracker game on Sunday in Munich.
And the big question: Will oldie Makoto Hasebe (37) also return after five games without a stake?
Glasner: “It is possible that we will switch on Thursday. But against the robust Modeste and Andersson, I don’t know whether Makoto would have been the right opponent. “
Even Ilsanker is currently ahead …
