Marvin Schwabe - Returns to training Schwabe returned to training Tuesday after dealing with an undisclosed illness, Koln announced.

Julian Chabot - Returns to training Chabot (illness) is back in training and is available for Saturday's clash with Frankfurt, according to manager Steffen Baumgart.

Impact Chabot is back in training and it turns out the injury he was dealing with was not COVID-19. The defender isn't a solid a fantasy play and hasn't entirely broken into the first team. Chabot isn't worth considering even in the starting XI.

Impact Schwabe is out for Saturday's clash with Frankfurt though the exact illness is uncertain. Obviously the concern is that Schwabe is dealing with COVID-19.

Kingsley Schindler - Suffers training knock Schindler (undisclosed) trained individually after suffering a training knock, according to Koln.

Impact Schindler suffered a knock in training Tuesday and was only training individually Wednesday. The winger isn't much of a fantasy play, simply due to his limited role in the team. Schindler will be a fringe play even if healthy against Frankfurt on Saturday.

FEBRUARY 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Julian Chabot - Out with illness Chabot sidelined for Tuesday's training due to an illness, Koln announced.

Impact Chabot is dealing with an unnamed illness, and is missing Tuesday's training. It's unclear what the illness is, if it's COVID-19 there's little chance for Chabot to play Saturday against Frankfurt. If it's something more mild, Chabot will likely be available in some capacity Saturday. Wait-and-see with Chabot, but be prepared to pivot to someone such as Timo Hubers.
