Meanwhile, the FCS extends the contract with attacker Sebastian Jacob Not for now. “It is a decision that was very difficult for us. Sebastian was a face of our team for years. But from today’s perspective it is not possible to predict if and when he will be able to meet the demands of professional football again,” explained Luginger.
Jacob injured his cruciate ligament in autumn 2022 and summer 2023 and is currently in the recovery phase.

It is important for him to get completely healthy again first. If that is the case, we will talk about whether he would like to take a different approach or whether we should integrate him back into the squad.” (dpa)
