Alarm mood in Jena: Four key players leave the FCC!

Jena, Deutschland - FC Carl Zeiss Jena faces a major challenge: The association announced a massive change of personnel just a few days before the last matchday of the Regionalliga Nordost. Four outstanding top performers, including the promising talent Khalid Abu El Haija, have decided to leave the club. The 19-year-old central defender changes to the U23 of the 1st FC Nürnberg to the regional league Bavaria. This is not only a loss of skills for Jena, but also in experience. Managing Director Patrick Versa has already confirmed that an appropriate package for the change of Abu El Haija has been agreed, which compensates for the FCC accordingly how thueringen24.de reported.

In addition to Abu El Haija, players Joel Richter, Ken Gipson and Justin Petermann also leave the club.

These departures leave large gaps in the squad and present the team to find suitable successors in order not to endanger the chances of promotion in the coming season.
