Borna Sosa

Sosa is available for Friday's clash against Stuttgart, according to coach Rene Wagner. "Sosa is fit. He took part in preseason with his former club and is fully fit."

Analysis: Sosa arrives at Koln ready for immediate involvement after completing a season-long loan move from Crystal Palace. His fitness shouldn't be an obstacle after taking part in preseason before the transfer, though it remains to be seen whether Wagner will hand him an immediate start or initially use him off the bench.

Loaned out to Koln

Sosa will spend the 2026/27 season on loan at Koln from Crystal Palace.

Analysis: Sosa was tipped to have a backup role at Selhurst Park once again in the 2026/27 season, but he'll move to the Bundesliga looking to earn some much-needed first-team action. This isn't a new environment for Sosa, as he spent five seasons at Stuttgart between the 2018/19 and 2023/24 campaigns.
