For Sunday's match in Köpenick, Malek is listed with Cologne's professionals for the third time in a row.

Wagner stresses that Malek must earn appearances through training; his professional debut has not yet come.

After another short injury layoff, Malek has been a regular part of first-team training for just over a week.

Wagner describes him as a clear number nine and says he will play when the team needs that role.

“No one here is handed playing time. Quite the opposite.”— René Wagner, head coach of 1. FC Köln, said Malek El Mala must earn his chance through his performances and hard work.
