Wagner will change Köln’s starting lineup at Hamburger SV on Saturday because El Mala is returning to the team.

Marius Bülter is considered the leading bench candidate, while Maina and Moore recently provided attacking contributions.

Dallinga scored twice against Hoffenheim but missed a Bremen penalty, while Ache is still seeking his first season goal.

Sebastian Sebulonsen, now fit again, could replace the previously underwhelming Alessio Castro-Montes at right-back.

Key FactsRagnar Ache fights for starting place at 1. FC Köln

Sep 15, 2026 · Reading time: ~45 sec.
Summary created with AI assistance · Source: geissblog.koeln

On matchday three against Werder Bremen, newcomer Thijs Dallinga started instead of Ache, who initially remained on the bench.

Before the away match at Hamburger SV, coach René Wagner must choose between Ache and Dallinga as starting striker.

Ache says the goal is staying above the relegation line and wants to help against Hamburg and Mönchengladbach with his first season goals.

After six second-half goals, Ache apparently received no serious transfer offers for his agent Volker Struth to pass on.

Wow, yeah, you do think: Why did we spend so much money on a player if he isn’t going to play?

Key FactsWagner hints at possible 1. FC Köln strike partnership

Aug 23, 2026 · Reading time: ~45 sec.
Summary created with AI assistance · Source: geissblog.koeln

Coach René Wagner describes Thijs Dallinga as an attacker who can play both alone and alongside Ragnar Ache.

During preseason, Wagner had generally used attacking midfielders or wingers behind Ache rather than a second traditional center-forward.

Wagner cites Dallinga’s qualities in the penalty area and hopes he can develop similarly to Jakub Kaminski.

Ache is still expected to start against Würzburger Kickers, while a substitute appearance by 26-year-old Dallinga is considered likely after only three training days.

The profile was relatively clear. From the start we were looking for a player who can operate both on his own and as part of a double-striker partnership. If we ever have to do without Ragy, we need someone who can replace him, but who can also play with him.
— René Wagner, on Thijs Dallinga's role and the potential double-striker setup during the press conference ahead of the DFB-Pokal match against Würzburger Kickers.

Cologne broke their winless run by defeating Werder Bremen 3-1 on home ground.

An early penalty scored by Said El Mala and a red card for Bremen’s captain after a last-man foul gave Cologne an advantage.

Despite a disallowed goal and a penalty awarded to Bremen, Cologne controlled the match and extended their lead.

This win grants Cologne a five-point buffer above the relegation playoff zone, with Wolfsburg trailing by nine points.
