Despite Mistakes: KSC Coach Eichner Strengthens Defender Franke - Karlsruhe’s depleted squad braces for a defining clash with Hannover 96
Karlsruher SC faces a tough test against Hannover 96 this Friday. The team will be missing key players due to injuries, suspensions, and fitness doubts. Coach Christian Eichner has stressed the need for focus, warning against underestimating a revamped Hannover side.
Defender Marcel Franke will keep his place in the starting line-up, despite recent mistakes. Eichner called him an 'outstanding, top-tier player' and reaffirmed his trust in the experienced centre-back.
The absence of three key players and fitness concerns for two others will test Karlsruhe’s depth. Franke’s leadership at the back will be crucial as the team looks to secure a vital result. The outcome could shift the balance in the mid-table standings.
