After six games without a win, Bundesliga basement boys Fortuna Dusseldorf recorded a win in the last game just before the Christmas break.

The coach of the side Friedhelm Funkel decided to drop three underwhelming players who interestingly are all loan stars with two of them Ghanaians.

Kasim Adams on loan from TSG Hoffenheim and an ever present in the team was dropped due to his shaky performance lately while Chelsea Lewis Baker has had a season to forget with Bernard Tekpetey on loan from Schalke also flattering to deceive.

After being dropped from the squad coach of the side Friedhelm Funkel explains why he decided not to field the trio in the team that recorded their first win in six games.

"I don't assume that a player doesn't want to. But some want something more than others. ”

After the final whistle, Tekpetey and Adams came to their colleagues and were visibly happy about the victory.

I talked to both for a long time and explained that to them." The two will continue to get their chances in the second half of the season - also because Tekpetey even has a loan agreement until 2021 and Fortuna also has a purchase option for 2.5 million euros.
