Cottbus before the game against Aachen: Key player Cigerci worried!
On Saturday, October 4th, 2025, Energie Cottbus will face Alemannia Aachen in the 3rd football league. The game in the Leag Energie Stadium kicks off at 4:30 p.m. A prominent topic before the game is the possible absence of Tolcay Cigerci, a key Cottbus player.
Cigerci is under pressure because his wife is expecting their child soon. At his last away game in Verl, he traveled alone to be near his family. Coach Claus-Dieter Wollitz has already indicated that the child's health is the top priority and that Cigerci would not be able to take part in a competition. In recent matches he has contributed greatly to the team's success with five goals and as many assists, and his absence would undoubtedly have a significant impact. “He’s under stress,” says Wollitz, who also wants to rotate the team to reduce the strain on the players.
The path to staying in the league
Energie Cottbus has a clear goal: with another win they should add 20 points, which would represent a significant step towards staying in the league. The team is currently in a promising position in the table and a good run in the next few games could be crucial. Erik Engelhardt in particular is in excellent form and has scored four goals in the last three games.
