FC St. Pauli

The Bundesliga resumes after the short winter break with the visit of third-placed Eintracht Frankfurt to the Millerntor. In the run-up, head coach Alexander Blessin too questions from the media at the customary pre-match news conference.

FC St. Pauli lost 2-1 at Eintracht Braunschweig on Sunday in a friendly behind closed doors. The second-division outfit took the lead on the half-hour through a Manolis Saliakas own goal, but Under-23 forward Romeo Aigbekaen equalised almost immediately. Robin Krauße grabbed the winner for the home side four minutes from time.

FC St. Pauli have completed another transfer during the winter break with the addition of striker Abdoulie Ceesay from Estonian top-division club Paide Linnameeskond. The two clubs have agreed not to disclose any details of the deal.
