When will it be called JAAACOB again?
Two short appearances against Havelse and Osnabrück – far too little for Saarbrücken’s top striker Sebastian Jacob (28), who has been back in training for a good five weeks after having achilles tendon problems.
Jacob pushes into the starting line-up for the game against Duisburg (Saturday, 2pm), says: “To say now into the blue, I can already go 90 minutes, is difficult. But I feel very good, I’m fully training and it’s getting better every day. I feel ready to play. “

Coach Uwe Koschinat (49) gives the Saarlander hope: “I’m glad that Sebastian is so far, I would even say that he is 100 percent again in all areas of football. He is a very clear starting XI candidate for the future. “
The question now: Will Koschinat let Jacob and Adriano Grimaldi (30) off the leash at the same time? Then he would also have to change his system.
Koschinat: “The opponent will certainly also worry about it when both are on the pitch together.”
After the disappointment against Osnabrück, the team worked on unity and automatisms. And moved closer together.
Jacob, who publicly expressed his displeasure with his substitute role, says: “As far as this elf friends issue is concerned, we are on the right track. The troops found each other quickly, there are few conflicts in the team. It is also normal that everything does not work out right now. New coach, new game philosophy, new players – not all mechanisms can work, but we have worked it out very well so far. “
Will you see on Saturday …
