TSV 1860 Munich has to make do without its playmaker Julian Guttau in the home game against SSV Ulm.
The situation in defense is relaxing.
Munich – It was to be expected, now there is certainty.
Sixty's magic foot Julian Guttau missed the duel against SSV Ulm due to illness.
After the 24-year-old suffered from a flu-like infection throughout the week and missed the final training session on Friday, he is also missing the weekend.
This was announced by 1860 coach Argirios Giannikis at the start of the press conference one day before the game.
With Julian Guttau, the best 1860 goalscorer in the current season is missing against SSV Ulm
With seven goals in 24 games, he is currently Sixty's top scorer this season.
He has netted four times since the winter break, including three times in the last four games.
He represents the upswing in the Blues team, which has not yet suffered a defeat under new coach Giannikis.
However, things seem to be easing up in defense.
In addition to Guttau, Leroy Kwadwo and Jesper Verlaat were also recently affected by an infection, but they should be ready for the home game.
Both are back in training, said Giannikis at the press conference.
Max Reinthaler, who was injured after the game against SC Verl, is out with a knee injury.
TSV 1860 Munich is still unbeaten under coach Argirios Giannikis
Thanks to the upswing in the new year, the Sechzgers fought their way to twelfth place in the 3rd league table.
With 18 points in the last eight games, they have already scored almost as many points as in the first half of the season.
But the opponent on Saturday has it all.
SSV Ulm, promoted from the regional league, is currently in third place in the table.
Coach Thomas Wörle's team has been unbeaten for seven games.
In the first leg, TSV 1860 Munich narrowly lost 1-0 away due to an early goal from the Swabians.
Despite Guttau's loss, the Munich squad has enough quality to be able to score the next points even without him.
Fynn Lakenmacher has scored two goals in the last four games and should be in the same position as former second division kicker Morris Schröter (six goals this season).
In addition, the Dutchman Joël Zwarts reported back after his injury in mid-February.
The 24-year-old could be used again as a joker and collect more minutes.
