FC Ingolstadt: Defending the title in the Toto Cup-who is in the goal?

FC Ingolstadt has shown an impressive performance in the Toto Cup this season. Under the direction of trainer Sabrina Witmann, the team joined the new games with self -confidence after their first cup victory in May. The first rounds were consistently successful: With an overwhelming 11-0 against the district league team TSV Lohr, a clear 4: 0 against DJK Hain and a sovereign 3-1 victory over the Würzburg kickers in the last round, FCI made it clear that they have to be taken seriously as defending champion.

On Wednesday it will be shown whether the team can maintain the form when they compete against Türkgücü Munich again. The game takes place in the Grünwald stadium and starts at 6:30 p.m. This is not the first meeting this season; In the quarter -finals last season, both teams were already facing each other.

Who is in the goal?

A central concern for trainer Witmann is the goalkeeper position. Marius Funk, who showed an excellent performance in the last game and stood in the goal in the 5-0 win against Seligenporten in February, was not in the squad against Alemannia Aachen, where the team played 1-1 draw. The uncertainty about his state of health raises the question of whether he can play against Türkgücü.

in Funk's absence, Simon Simoni, who only moved from Eintracht Frankfurt to FCI in the summer, took over the goal. Although he is talented, but shortly after the last game was invited to the U21 national team of Albania, which questions his participation in the upcoming game. Maurice Dehler is considered as an alternative, so Witmann has to check several options.

Ingolstadt also has to deal with injuries. Defender Ryan Malone and striker Tim Heike are definitely canceled, which makes squad planning further difficult. The pressure to achieve a similar course as in the previous cup games remains high, especially because of the success last season.

The situation of the goalkeeper is crucial for the outcome of the game, especially against a team like Türkgücü Munich, which plays properly in the regional league. The Schanzer must be ready to not only secure the move into the semi -finals, but also to defend the title.
