Freiburg (dpa) – After his corona infection, top performer Maximilian Eggestein is about to return to the starting XI at Bundesliga club SC Freiburg. New winter signing Hugo Siquet, who has not yet been used, is also an option for the squad for the game on Saturday when SpVgg Greuther Fürth (3.30 p.m. / Sky) is behind. The Covid 19 diseases are said to have been mild in both players, said Freiburg coach Christian Streich on Thursday.
In the case of central defender Philipp Lienhart and offensive player Woo-Yeong Jeong, on the other hand, the cardiological examinations on Friday will only provide information as to whether Streich can rely on them. If it is not enough for the duo, the 56-year-old will use the second team again.
Freiburg want to take another step towards the European Cup in Fürth. Although the Sport-Club is currently fifth in the table, Streich expects a game at eye level. “Our players aren’t stupid, they’re intelligent. We’ve had a great season so far, but we have to work again on Saturday,” warned the coach. In Fürth other teams thought they were on an equal footing “and then they weren’t,” said Streich.
