Cologne players robbed after loss

Cologne's disappointment at their 3-2 German league defeat at Bayer Leverkusen last night was compounded by anger after thieves ransacked their dressing room while the players toiled out on the pitch.

The Express newspaper reported on its website edition that Cologne were robbed of wallets and mobile phones after the doors of the dressing room had allegedly been left unlocked. Cologne are currently second from bottom of the Bundesliga table.
