Malvalon diagnosis slows down Yvandro Borges, Mathias Olesen thinks of cancellation for fear

29 names were on the list on Friday, which is part of the press conference of national soccer coaches Luc Holtz was distributed in Monnerich. In the test areas against Slovenia (June 6th) and Ireland (June 10), not all of these players will be there, record goal scorers Gerson Rodrigues But probably already.

Three weeks after he too by the court of appeal due to multiple bodily harm to a prison sentence of 18 months on probation The FLF Board of Directors decided that Holtz can continue to rely on the striker. « It should not be punished twice and deserves a second chance, » said FLF lawyer Marc Diederich.

There should be no further statements from the football association in the foreseeable future, instead Holtz and Co. want to talk about football. There are still some open questions two weeks before the test games serving as preparation for the World Cup qualification. While Marvin Martin’s is in the event of injury, Yvandro Borges was not nominated, but still comes to Luxembourg.

« Yvandro suffers from a tendon and fiber tear that he has been dragging with him for a long time. He has been injured since March, but was not really diagnosed at first. He is now working on the comeback, » said Holtz. When selecting the FLF, the offensive talent should train individually. « He would like to play, but that will probably not happen unless the medical staff would give the green light. »

According to Holtz, it is not yet clear whether Christopher Martins can appear. « He has calf problems, but we don’t yet know how bad it is. He comes together at the weekend, then we sit down and see if he can play. » Sébastien Thill is also struck.

The preparation of the national coach also affects the fact that some national players will be without contract from summer. « You can recommend yourself in the encounters, but there is also a risk of injury. A player said that he did not want to play if he has not signed a contract until then. He is afraid of injuring himself, » said Holtz, who later confirmed that it was Mathias Oleses.

The midfielder has risen to the Bundesliga with 1. FC Köln, but it has been clear for months that he will leave the club. « I hope that everyone has found a club until September and play regularly. »

Short break for Leandro Barreiro

Leandro Barreiro has fought for a regular place at Benfica in recent months. On Sunday he will meet Sporting with his teammates from 6.15 p.m. in the cup final in Lisbon. The season is not over for Benfica. Barreiro and Co. will compete in the USA at the Club World Cup (June 14th to July 13th).

« I talked to Leo on the phone. He still doesn’t know how long he can pause afterwards, so I agreed with him that he can switch off a few days after the cup final. He only joins on June June, » says Holz. « He doesn’t get an extra sausage, but the opportunity to recover physically and mentally. »

In addition to veterans like Barreiro, there are also two new ones in the FLF contingent. André Barrela (Titus Petingen) and Diego Duarte (Metz) were first nominated. « André has earned this through his achievements in the club. I want to see Diego in training. I talk a lot to Mario Mutsch, who trains him with the U19. » However, both could still be deleted from the 29-member squad. « Ultimately, the contingent in front of the two games will only consist of 24 or 25 players. »
