Going to travel with the 1st team this weekend:

1. FC Cologne
@fckoeln_en

Baumgart: Damion Downs has trained well. We can see that with Justin Diehl und Elias Bakatukanda, that they have adapted well to the first-team. There is no game for the under-19s this weekend, so he's set to come with us. #BVBKOE #effzeh

 

On the bench for the 1st team against Dortmund (subs not shown here):

Stayed on for 20 minutes of the 2nd half:

1. FC Cologne
@fckoeln_en

71' Luca Schlax and Henrik Mittelstädt are on for Luan Simnica and Damion Downs.

Mittelstädt has had two decent openings since coming on. Still no goals, though.

Congrats to Damion Downs on advancing to the U19 German Cup Final with Cologne. His assist puts him at 5G + 9A in just 540 minutes at youth/reserve level. Also was on the Bundesliga bench for the first team.

Unlikely for the U20 WC but probably will be named to the provisional. https://t.co/wQQq9OV80a
