Karlsruhe (dpa / lsw) - Despite the very positive course of the season so far, coach Christian Eichner does not want to think beyond relegation with the Karlsruher SC.

The 38-year-old said on Thursday that he wanted to achieve this goal faster than last season “and not just two minutes before the end of the season”: “We need the 40 points.

And then we look at what month we have ».

Before the game on Saturday at SV Sandhausen (1.00 p.m. / Sky), Baden are still unbeaten in the new year and with 33 points are in the top third of the table in the 2nd Bundesliga.

After the promising debut against Jahn Regensburg, newcomer Kevin Wimmer should also be left-back in Sandhausen.

In addition to Dirk Carlson (back problems) and Philip Heise (torn muscle fiber), young professional Jannis Rabold had to pass.

The 19-year-old is absent due to an internal ligament injury.

"Kevin is a player who defensively stands for great reliability and stability," said Eichner.

In addition, Wimmer's physicality is needed against Sandhausen.

"Everything that comes on top is very welcome," said Eichner in the direction of Wimmer.

At 1. FC Köln he was once Wimmer's teammate.
