Hamburger SV forward Ransford Yeboah Königsdörffer is set to be available for Saturday's Bundesliga encounter with FC Köln, despite missing training on Tuesday. The Ghanaian attacker's absence was precautionary, with head coach Merlin Polzin moving quickly to ease any concerns. "That's not an issue for Saturday," Polzin told Hamburger Abendblatt. The coach revealed that Königsdörffer had been working indoors and receiving treatment rather than resting completely, with plans for him to increase his workload on Wednesday and rejoin the group without restrictions. Polzin even joked about the situation, noting that "Ransi" often has "one or two little aches" but stressed there was no cause for concern this time. Königsdörffer has been a regular feature for Hamburg this season, and his availability provides a significant boost as the club continues its push in the league. Fans can expect to see the Ghanaian forward in action against Köln on Saturday, with his coach clearly counting on him to be part of the starting plans.
