Football Club Cottbus Secures Temporary Striker Duah for Remaining Games
FC Energie Cottbus Bolsters Defense with Loan Signing of Dennis Duah
FC Energie Cottbus has strengthened its defense for the upcoming 2025/26 3rd Bundesliga season with the loan signing of 21-year-old central defender Dennis Duah from Dynamo Dresden. The German-Ghanaian player impressed during a trial period at Energie Cottbus, and the club sees him as a valuable reinforcement to their backline as they prepare for a challenging campaign.
Dennis Duah, who previously played for a 2nd Bundesliga team, has not yet made any 3rd Liga appearances for his previous team. However, Energie coach Claus-Dieter Wollitz is optimistic about Duah's potential development and is considering starting him in the game against 1. FC Saarbrücken on Saturday.
Wollitz is keen on developing Energie Cottbus into a professional club within the structures, and he emphasizes the need for passion, team spirit, and a sense of gratitude among the players. The coach sees Energie Cottbus as a relegation candidate due to the lack of big-name experience and long-term playing experience at this level.
Last season, Energie Cottbus fell short of advancing directly to the 2nd Bundesliga. This season, the team may face a more challenging campaign, according to Wollitz. A successful season for Energie Cottbus, according to Wollitz, is one where they secure their place in the league.
The game against 1. FC Saarbrücken is scheduled for 2:00 PM on MagentaSport. Wollitz has observed Duah in training for five weeks, and he has been impressed with Duah's speed, clocked at 35 kilometers per hour. The club and fans hope that Duah's defensive solidity will contribute significantly to the team’s stability, aiming to secure enough points to remain in the league.
Energie Cottbus is expected to start collecting points to avoid relegation in the upcoming season. The club's relegation chances in the 3rd Bundesliga are high, and recruiting players like Duah to improve competitiveness is part of their strategy to avoid dropping to a lower division. The 3rd Bundesliga is known for its competitiveness, so additions like Duah are crucial to shoring up defense and achieving consistent results needed for survival.
Dennis Duah, the newly signed central defender on loan from Dynamo Dresden, will be bolstering the sports portfolio of FC Energie Cottbus this season, with his focus mainly on the European-leagues like the 3rd Bundesliga. His impressive trial period at Energie Cottbus has earned him a significant role in their defense line, aiming to provide defensive solidity and contribute to the team securing enough points to remain in the league, especially considering the club's relegation candidate status as they prepare for a challenging season in the competitive 3rd Bundesliga.
