Cologne coach Steffen Baumgart believes Sebastian Andersson will have to resign.
The 31-year-old striker questions and criticizes this statement.
“I certainly expect to be playing football again soon,” he wrote in a text message to Fotbollskanalen.
Sebastian Anderson has had knee problems since the fall of 2020 and suffers daily pain.
When he was on his way to Bröndby this summer, a meniscus injury was discovered which required an operation.
The operation was performed at the beginning of September and the rehabilitation period was estimated to be between four to ten weeks.
After that, he developed an infection and was hospitalized for several weeks.
German media reported that his career was in jeopardy, but this he himself denied.

Now, according to German media, Cologne coach Steffen Baumgart says Sebastian Andersson looks like he will have to quit football.
– No status update for when it can come back. I’m relatively sure it will be hard to see him on a soccer field again, says Steffen Baumgart.
He doubts Sebastian Anderson had surgery because it wasn’t advice from the club.
Seb wanted to do it. I personally did not make this decision. I hope he gets better, says Steffen Baumgart, and I would be glad if I could see him here again.
