Hamburg (dpa / lno) - For coach Timo Schultz from the second division soccer club FC St. Pauli, the corona cases with the upcoming opponent Eintracht Braunschweig have no influence on the preparation.
“I assume that they will have eleven players on the field and also a coach to look after them.
So it doesn't make any difference to me. "
When preparing for the game on Monday (8.30 p.m. / Sky) in Hamburg, there were two confirmed corona infections in Braunschweig.
The two infected people and a contact person are in quarantine at home.
These are Braunschweig coach Daniel Meyer and two players.
Schultz attributes the fact that the game can take place despite the Corona cases to the hygiene concept: “We also did it so that everyone was tested for Corona before the first meeting during the international break.
It will probably have been the same with Braunschweig. "
The delegations from both clubs will not be in the stadium for the game at Millerntor in order to support the responsibility of all those involved in dealing with the virus and the containment of the infection process in solidarity.
Schultz: "It's a nice action and supports what the association stands for."
Eintracht have collected 26 points after 26 match days, have been undefeated in five games and have taken nine points during this time.
"Like us, Braunschweig is playing much better after the winter and has stabilized on the defensive," said Schultz.
St. Pauli already has 35 points on its account.
Another victory, according to Schultz, would almost be synonymous with remaining in the 2nd Bundesliga: "With a win, you could probably put a tick behind it."
