Kingsley Schindler was allowed to feature from the start after two games on the substitutes' bench and a subsequent short appearance against Dortmund.

In the past, there was speculation that the player would leave FC Köln when his contract expired at the end of the season. This is also due to the sporting situation the 29-year-old has mostly only acted as a substitute this season.

"King is not about to depart," Baumgart clarifies. "that we deal with the situation when the contract expires is normal," he added.

Two games didn't go so well for him, we know that too. But he works and does. He didn't become a national player (Ghana) for nothing,"

But I can say about all the boys that they perform and march. King is one of them,”
