STARS ABROAD Cologne boss gives positive update on Kenyan winger’s progress ahead of crunch Bundesliga meeting
Linton Maina could be close to returning for FC Cologne after missing the loss to Borussia Dortmund in their opening Bundesliga fixture last week.
Maina had started the season out injured after he had suffered a knock in the side’s pre-season tour of Austria.
Coming on as a substitute in the 77th minute, he really did not have time to influence the outcome of the match, which Koln lost 2-1 thanks to a Jonas Wind brace, but will hope another week of training will make him match-fit for their next Bundesliga fixture against Frankfurt.

Goals by Sharq Forde and Theo Achibald were enough to give Orient all the points, and it now means they are 18th and out of the relegation places.
