Marina Hegering is a key player at 1. FC Köln. However, the Bundesliga club will have to make plans again in the near future.
1. FC Cologne must appear without its chief of defense. Captain Marina Hegering has a shoulder injury and is undergoing surgery. The club announced this on Monday.
The club left it open how long Hegering will be missing. However, it will not be available for “a long period of time,” he said. Returns are not expected to occur until the new year at the earliest.
The 33-year-old moved from VfL Wolfsburg to Cologne in the summer and immediately took on a leadership role. He was already absent from the 1-1 draw at Bremen on Sunday after being examined closely following his cup exit at SC Sand (2-3).
Cologne still has games against Hamburger SV, Carl Zeiss Jena and RB Leipzig on its program until the turn of the year.
