It will just take a little more patience. Hit in the hip last week against Union Berlin (he had to stop training on Friday), Koen Casteels was unable to take part in what would have been his 220th Bundesliga match in Freiburg. The performance would have allowed him to break Daniel Van Buyten’s record which he equaled last Saturday (219 appearances in the German championship).
Deprived of its goalkeeper and captain, Wolfsburg unfortunately cracked at the end of the game. While Max Kruse and Max Arnold restored the balance after Vincenzo Grifo’s double, Nico Schlotterbeck handed victory to Freiburg three minutes from time.
Or just after the exit of Sebastiaan Bornauw. The defender was solid in the duels, but was sometimes clumsy in the recovery. If Dodi Lukebakio did not take off from the bench, Aster Vranckx was entitled to a quarter of an hour. Back after his serious ankle injury, former Anderlecht resident Lukas Nmecha has returned to action for the second week in a row.
On the Friborg side, Hugo Siquet had to skip because of a positive test for Covid-19. He still hasn’t played a single minute with the first team. His team remains fully committed to the race for the top 4.
