RWE keeper Golz ill, assistant coach has coronavirus#UVXWJ#Rot-Weiss Essen will have to do without Jakob Golz at the start of the training week. This is the situation regarding his availability for Sunday’s game in Aue. Anyone who beats the league leaders 4-0 (2-0) deserves to carry over some of the previous week’s training content without any problems. That was obviously the thinking of the coaching team at third-division soccer club Rot-Weiss Essen. Just like exactly a week ago, the RWE pros were allowed to compete against each other in a tournament at the end of the second session of the day. Three-a-side teams played on two small pitches. The coaches counted all the goals and at the end of the intense session, there was a winner. The race was won by “Team Blue” with Manuel Wintzheimer, José-Enrique Rios Alonso, and Robbie D’Haese. A total of four goalkeepers were needed for this game format, but Jakob Golz was not one of the RWE keepers who stood between the posts on Wednesday afternoon at the training ground on Hafenstraße. Felix Wienand, Ole Springer, and two U19 goalkeepers trained with them. Regular goalkeeper Golz is ill and missed the start of the training week. The RWE officials hope that the 26-year-old will be able to resume training after Thursday’s day off, otherwise it could be tight for the Essen goalkeeper for Sunday’s away game at Erzgebirge Aue (4:30 p.m.).Jakob Golz is a stalwart at Rot-Weiss Essen. Alongside Rios Alonso, Golz is a stalwart in the Rot-Weiss squad. Since promotion to the 3rd division, the son of HSV legend Richard Golz has only missed three games, two of them last season due to the flu. However, according to the club, the RWE key player has not been hit as hard this time. They are confident that Golz will be able to play in Aue.#UVXWK##UVXWJ#As things stand, the Revier club will only be without the long-term injured Ekin Celebi and Moussa Doumbouya, as well as Julian Eitschberger, who is still suspended. The U20 international will miss his last competitive game after his controversial sending-off against SC Verl. Kelsey Owusu, who was ill at the start of the week, returned to training on Wednesday.#UVXWK##UVXWJ#The mood at the RWE training ground was relaxed after the relieving home win against Cottbus. Coach Dabrowski entered the pitch with a broad smile on his face, and the players also appeared relaxed. As in the home game against Energie Cottbus, Dabrowski had to do without his assistant coach Lars Fleischer. Attentive observers in the stadium noticed that Paul Freier had taken Fleischer’s place on the sidelines next to Dabrowski. Fleischer has contracted COVID-19. It is not yet clear when he will return.#UVXWK#
