Once more! BVB had to do it again this weekend without their Swiss goalie star Gregor Kobel (26). For the sixth time in the last ten competitive matches.

The Zurich resident continues to travel to the national team’s training camp in Spain. Whether he will stay there is more than doubtful. According to information from Blick, Kobel is being examined by the national team’s medical department. It will then be decided whether Kobel will actually leave again – or whether he will remain in the national team for the duration of the training camp for team-building reasons.

An appearance by Kobel in one of the test matches in Denmark and Ireland, as Yakin promised last week, has been ruled out. That is why the Nati coach has already nominated YB’s David von Ballmoos as the new third goalkeeper.

That is the basis of Kobel’s series of failures

But what’s behind Kobel’s ominous string of failures? Already in the autumn, the Zurich native was repeatedly absent – and therefore could not appear in the national team, even though coach Murat Yakin promised him appearances in the European Championship qualifiers.

According to information from Blick, Kobels is currently reacting too sensitively to the three-day competition rhythm with BVB. Theoretically, Kobel could have played against Eintracht Frankfurt (3-1) this weekend, but the chance of a serious muscle injury and then being out for a long time was too great. Hence the decision to spare Kobel.

Kobel’s renewed mandatory break does not bode well for Nati’s short-term prospects: Yakin confirmed Inter professional Yann Sommer as No. 1 last week, but announced Kobel would play in a test match. Now that Kobel can no longer present himself in the Nati jersey, his chances of a permanent place in the Swiss European Championship goal have dropped to zero. Unless Sommer gets injured before the tournament in Germany.

And then? If Kobel gets his problems under control, nothing will stand in the way of an attack on the Nati goal. When he plays, his performances speak for themselves: when it comes to sports, Kobel doesn’t have to hide behind Sommer.
