The sick coach Mersad Selimbegovic could miss the SSV Jahn Regensburg in the 2nd Bundesliga on the sidelines against Hamburger SV. “Mersad is sick and in bed with the flu, so unfortunately he can’t come. We all hope that he’ll get fit again quickly and he’ll feel better,” said assistant coach Sebastian Dreier, who told Selimbegovic on Friday at the press conference before the represented party.

The head coach of the Upper Palatinate had already missed the second division game against SC Paderborn (1-0) after a positive corona finding at the end of February 2021. “You can’t say anything about tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. As a coaching team, we want to represent Mersad in the best possible way, even though we know that it’s very difficult because he’s pulling the ship and is, figuratively speaking, our captain,” said Dreier before the away game against HSV on Sunday (1.30 p.m. / Sky).

The Regensburg hope against the candidate for promotion to the use of central defender Steve Breitkreuz, who recently had a headache. Full-back Benedikt Saller has completed parts of the team training after minor ankle problems. Substitute keeper Thorsten Kirschbaum is back after knee problems.
