Cologne defender Christopher Scorch became the first Bundesliga
player to be confirmed with the swine flu, but an early
diagnosis and a spell in quarantine prevented the virus from
spreading to any of his team mates. And coach Zvonimir Soldo
will be relieved to know that he has practically a fully-fit
squad to choose from for this weekend's clash with Hoffenheim.
At least Soldo can expect to find the confidence of striker
Lukas Podolski boosted after he returned from international duty
Thursday having scored both goals in Germany's 2-2 tie with the
Ivory Coast.
