Düsseldorf (dpa / lnw) - Second division football team Fortuna Düsseldorf may have to do without Shinta Appelkamp in the Monday game at Eintracht Braunschweig (8.30 p.m. / Sky).
The Japanese national junior player sustained a muscle strain in the game against SC Paderborn (2-1) last Monday and so far has only been able to complete running training.
It is still questionable whether one mission in Braunschweig will be enough.
But Emmanuel Iyoha, who suffered from glandular fever, could soon be back in the squad.
Jean Zimmer and Jakub Piotrowski, who have to take a break after a positive corona test, will definitely be missing.
After five wins in a row, the Dusseldorf are just behind the promotion ranks.
A series of six victories in a row has only happened once more than 30 years ago in May and June 1989 for Düsseldorf in the second division when they were promoted to the Bundesliga.
At that time, the team won the last six games of the season against SpVgg Bayreuth (4: 3), Wattenscheid 09 (3: 1), Kickers Offenbach (2: 1), SC Freiburg (3: 1), SV Meppen (4: 1) and Blau - White 90 (7: 2).
In the top division 2003/04 season, the Düsseldorf team also managed six wins in a row.
