FEARS over Jeff Strasser’s health have been allayed after it was confirmed the Kaiserslautern boss has not suffered a heart attack.
The second tier clash with Dalmastadt was abandoned after Strasser was rushed to hospital.
However, tests have confirmed it was not a heart attack.
A Kaiserslautern statement read: “After initial examinations of FCK head coach Jeff Strasser, we can rule out a heart attack.
“Further cardiology examinations will be carried out to make a clear diagnosis.
“Training will initially be led by assistant coach Alexander Bugera, but it has not been confirmed who will also sit on the bench for the home match against Fortuna Dusseldorf this Saturday.”
Gute Besserung Jeff Strasser
