Baden-Württemberg: Diekmeier continued to suffer before giving up in Paderborn

Sandhausen (dpa / lsw) - Second division soccer team SV Sandhausen is also worried about the ailing captain Dennis Diekmeier before the game at SC Paderborn. The 32-year-old is "a bit worried," said SVS trainer Alois Schwartz before the game on Sunday (1:30 p.m. / Sky). A tendon injury in the hip area further limits Diekmeier. "He's training, but he's still struggling," Schwartz said on Friday.

Without Diekmeier, who was only on the bench, SVS ended their winless streak last Sunday and gained new momentum with a 1-0 win over 1. FC Magdeburg. The club has good memories of SC Paderborn, in August 2015 the sand houses celebrated their highest second division victory with a 6-0 win over Ostwestfalen.

Schwartz praised the third-placed team as "one of the strongest teams" in the league. "The SCP is very strong individually," he said.
