For almost a year and a half, Cologne’s ex-national player Mark Uth has been experiencing repeated health setbacks. There were also rumors of an end to his career. But his sports director vigorously denies this.
Sports director Christian Keller from 1. FC Cologne has vigorously denied speculation about an impending end to the career of ex-national player Mark Uth.
“We’re a long way from that,” said Keller after the 5-1 home defeat in the Bundesliga against RB Leipzig. “We will still decide whether the offensive player will fly to the training camp in Alicante,” explained Keller, but a return should certainly be in sight.
Adductor surgery
“Originally it wasn’t that serious an injury, he had strained the inner ligament,” said Keller: “Unfortunately he had a setback. Now we have to see how long he needs. It won’t take months more. We hope that he will be in the can be back on the pitch in the next two or three weeks.”
Uth only played five competitive games last season after surgery on his adductors and pubic bone inflammation. He was injured again during his comeback in August, made eight competitive appearances between October and December and has now been missing since the beginning of the year due to the injury in a friendly against Rot-Weiss Essen.
