Suffers muscular injury Castro-Montes (muscular) is ruled out for the time being due to an injury, the club announced.

Impact Castro-Montes suffered a muscular injury this week and, after undergoing an MRI on Wednesday, the club has opted to rule him out for the time being to focus on his recovery. This is a major setback for the goats, as the defender had been a regular starter at right-back in recent weeks, and his absence will force a change in the starting XI. Sebastian Sebulonsen is a leading candidate to step into his role, especially with Linton Maina (ribs) also sidelined for the time being.

Impact Castro-Montes would have a solid match despite no goal contribution in the win, with the defender recording a game-leading 10 crosses. This comes as a third straight game with the defender with 10 or more crosses, with 40 in eight appearances (five starts). With a third straight start, he will hope to maintain this spot, appearing to be a solid two-way option.

Another assist in another start Castro-Montes assisted once to go with 13 crosses (four accurate) and eight corners in Saturday's 2-1 victory versus Mainz.

Impact Castro-Montes began his 2026 calendar year with two assists at Heidenheim. He did not play Koln's very next game against Bundesliga powerhouse Bayern Munich, as the team instead opted to use him Saturday against Mainz. In terms of getting the best result this weekend, Koln's strategy worked, as Castro-Montes assisted one of two goals scored by Ragnar Ache. With three goals across two appearances, the former is at least making an improved case for a more consistent role as Koln tries to turn the page in 2026.

He will bring plenty of experience to the backline as they try to retain their spot in the Bundesliga, appearing in 304 matches while bagging 23 goals and 30 assists in his career.
