Family worries about star striker Anthony Modeste (33) after leaving the stadium interior in a flash at 3-1 on Sunday against Hertha.
Ironically, the best player besides Florian Kainz couldn’t really celebrate the win.
According to BILD information, a call from the family had reached Modeste’s managing director Alexander Wehrle (46) during the game.
Cologne’s boss had therefore immediately gone to the bank after the Modeste change (76th min.) And had informed Tony and accompanied him to the catacombs so that he could phone there.
