Mikey Moore prepares for first Bundesliga start for 1. FC Köln

1. FC Köln host Werder Bremen at the RheinEnergieStadion on Saturday at 18:30 CEST. Coach René Wagner indicated that Tottenham loanee Mikey Moore is a candidate for the starting XI for the first time. Wagner noted that the 19-year-old could provide a disruptive presence in the central midfield position. Meanwhile, Said El Mala is expected to begin the match on the bench as he manages his recovery from a recent illness. Thijs Dalinga is also available for selection, though Wagner indicated that he and El Mala are unlikely to both start. The team looks to integrate these options as they return to Bundesliga action this weekend.
