Back in contention Saturday
Simpson-Pusey (not injury related) is an option for the squad and could start Saturday's clash against Bayern Munich, according to coach Rene Wagner. "Jahmai is an option for the squad and the starting XI."
Analysis: Simpson-Pusey's return to contention comes after being left out of the squad for Sunday's clash against Heidenheim following a late arrival to the pre-match training session. The defender's inclusion in the plans for Saturday suggests he has addressed the disciplinary matter to the coaching staff's satisfaction. His potential return to the starting lineup gives Koln an experienced option at the back for a demanding fixture against Bayern Munich in the final stretch of a crucial survival battle.
Left out for disciplinary reasons
Simpson-Pusey (not injury related) was left out of the squad for Sunday's clash against Heidenheim after arriving late to the pre-match training session, according to coach Rene Wagner, per GEISSBLOG. "We have insisted all week on the importance of this match, and we must take measures when a player arrives late in the morning. There must be consequences; the team must feel it."
Analysis: Simpson-Pusey's absence is a purely disciplinary matter with Joel Schmied stepping into the starting lineup for his first start since February. The coach made clear that punctuality is non-negotiable ahead of such a crucial survival battle fixture, sending a firm message to the squad about the standards expected heading into one of the most important games of Koln's season.
