The Arminia Bielefeld Courier

The knee: Daniel Arnold out for 14 days
14 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Arminia Bielefeld lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

A fracture rules Roberts Uldriķis out for 77 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Arminia Bielefeld will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

The afternoon belonged to Julian Kania
A mark of 7.56, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

Half-satisfied: Marco Schulze on the draw
“There are things I liked and things we will be doing on Tuesday until they are right.” 1‑1, and a manager who had already decided what Tuesday looked like.

No hiding place for Maximilian Großer
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Maximilian Großer, and the manager let it.

Robin Knoche left out for tactical reasons at Arminia Bielefeld
The shape wanted a different profile against this opponent, which is a real football answer and no comfort at all to the man it is about. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.

Monju Momuluh was unplayable
Successful dribbles: 11. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.
