- Newcomer at KSC in Braunschweig, Pfeiffer, likely embracing humorism.
Recently signed player Luca Pfeiffer is hoping to secure a spot in Karlsruhe SC's main squad, but coach Christian Eichner isn't counting on him starting right away. The 28-year-old, who stands at 1.96 meters, only expects to "play less" initially in the game against Eintracht Braunschweig this Sunday (1:30 PM/Sky). However, Pfeiffer could still prove to be a valuable addition to the Baden-Württemberg second division side, according to Eichner, who thinks the center forward can contribute for up to 70 minutes.
Karlsruhe SC took on Luca Pfeiffer on loan from VfB Stuttgart last week. With the international break on the horizon, Pfeiffer has the chance to recover from a mid-foot fracture he suffered in May and regain his match fitness, Eichner said. He has high regard for the offensive player's ability.
As for any further departures, Eichner is optimistic. He doesn't anticipate any more players leaving the Karlsruhe team this summer. At one point, a transfer of striker Fabian Schleusener to Turkey seemed likely, but with the transfer window still open until September 13, Schleusener, who is 32 years old, has recently earned a regular spot in the Baden team's starting lineup.
Karlsruhe SC started the season strong, accumulating seven points from their first three games. As for their opponents, Eintracht Braunschweig, they haven't managed to score yet, but Eichner still holds them in high esteem.**
The following loan signing, Luca Pfeiffer, will join Karlsruhe SC's squad for the game against Eintracht Braunschweig, aiming to prove his worth and potentially play less than 70 minutes due to his recovery process.
Regarding future transfers, coach Christian Eichner mentions that they are not expecting any more departures from the team before the September 13 transfer deadline, as striker Fabian Schleusener has recently secured a regular spot in the starting lineup, following a potential move to Turkey.
