Freiburg (dpa) – Attacking man Roland Sallai will probably return to the squad of the Baden Bundesliga team in the away game of SC Freiburg at 1. FC Union Berlin on Saturday (3.30 p.m. / Sky). Coach Christian Streich recently gave the Hungarian a “pause for thought” and did not call him into the squad for the home game against RB Leipzig (0-1). “He trained again on Sunday morning, now everything is going on as normal,” said Streich on Thursday.
The Japanese Ritsu Doan, who was missing against RB with knee problems, is probably also back in the duel of the Champions League contenders in Berlin. “It may be enough,” explained the SC coach, “then he has to live with the fact that it tweaks from time to time.” On the other hand, things are getting tight for Philipp Lienhart, who was out due to illness against Leipzig. The Austrian central defender will “rather not” be there, said Streich.
Although both teams are still fighting for a place in the premier class, Freiburg’s coach doesn’t want to know anything about pressure and wishes his team to play “as freely as possible”. The fact that Union hasn’t lost in their own stadium since February 2022 is impressive for Streich. “We’ve broken a lot of streaks,” he said.
