FC Köln strikers sustained injuries during a friendly match against Viktoria Köln. Thijs Dallinga suffered a cruciate ligament tear, while Ragnar Ache sustained a muscle injury in his thigh.

Subsequent reports confirmed that Dallinga’s injury is a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) sustained during a match involving the FC Köln Under-23 side. The injury is expected to require surgery and will sideline the Dutch striker, who is on loan from Bologna FC, for several months. This setback may impact FC Köln’s decision regarding a potential permanent transfer for the player at the end of the season.
