Karlsruhe (dpa / lsw) - Karlsruher SC may already play against 1. FC Heidenheim with newcomer Xavier Amaechi.

KSC trainer Christian Eichner is still taking some time with the decision about the 20-year-old Englishman playing in the second division home game on Saturday (1.30 p.m. / Sky).

But on Thursday he was quite impressed by the first training impressions from the loan from league table leaders Hamburger SV.

«In one situation or another, you have already seen the possibilities he has in the offensive game.

We'll be watching very closely over the next few days to see what will be enough over the weekend, "said Eichner.

Before the game against Heidenheim, who was tied for seventh place in the table, it was important for the 38-year-old to close the squad gap at KSC, who was one place better, after the surprising departure of Marco Djuricin.

After all, he wants to celebrate the fourth win in a row with his team.

"It is again a very ambitious opponent," warned Eichner against the FCH.
