Cologne (dpa) - Because of an allergic reaction to the anesthesia, the planned surgical intervention on the back of football professional Sebastiaan Bornauw from Bundesliga club 1. FC Cologne had to be postponed on Wednesday.

The Belgian national team's club announced on Thursday.

The minimally invasive procedure due to a bony change in the spine should now be made up for in the coming days.

The 21-year-old had initially tried to get the problems under control conservatively.

Since the pain did not go away, he decided to have the area deserted during an operation.

According to FC sports director Horst Heldt, Bornauw could be back on the training ground seven to ten days after the operation.
