Cologne in danger: Lemperles are missing the ascent space!

Cologne in danger: Lemperles are missing the ascent space!

Without Tim Lemperle (22), the 1. FC Köln heads towards a dangerous terrain! The talented striker, who suffered a muscle injury in Regensburg, will miss the next two important games against Nuremberg and Lautern. This message not only got coach Gerhard Struber, but also worried the fans: Cologne could be falling behind in the relegation battle without his top scorer. His great balance is impressive: 8 goals in 15 games and 4 templates that contributed significantly to Cologne's promotion in the table, such as Bild reported.

The 1. FC Köln, who had slipped to 12th place after an October crisis, experienced a remarkable upswing with Lemperle as the key player. Without him, the Rhinelander are currently tied with Prussia Münster and Ulm on a relegation zone. Struber praised him as a "crucial success factor" and found that Lemperles are indispensable for the team. After a strong appearance in the previous year, where he scored six goals in 32 second division games, the dependence on Lemperles gates is now more serious than fc.de

a promising talent

Lemperle, who was born in Frankfurt am Main in 2002, came to FC in 2017 from FSV Frankfurt and has since developed to an important part of the squad. He played on loan at SpVgg Greuther Fürth last season, where he also scored 6 goals. After his comeback with the professionals, he was able to register twice in the top scorer list in the first four games in the current season. The uncertainty regarding his future remains: Various Bundesliga clubs vie around him, while FC runs the risk of losing his valuable player free of charge. The pressure is heavy on the entire team, whose future seems to be in the balance without Lemperle.
