Nuremberg (dpa / lby) - 1. FC Nuremberg could attack again in the second division game at SV Darmstadt 98 with Kwadwo Duah and Felix Lohkemper. "Both played well and partially harmonized with each other," said coach Robert Klauss on Thursday.

Lohkemper was out for a long time due to hip problems and celebrated his comeback in the starting eleven in the 1-0 win over Arminia Bielefeld last Friday. The 27-year-old "coped well" with the load, said Klauss before the game on Saturday (1 p.m. / Sky). "That was very positive." As always, the selection of personnel is based on two questions: "What does the team need for the opponent? Who is in a good mood at the moment?"

Klauß did not have the impression that his team had been "extremely blocked" before the important home win against Bielefeld. "When you win games you always have a slight advantage to go into the training week," he admitted. Klauss was satisfied with the units this week. "The processes are becoming more stable," he said before the guest game against a "very experienced, mature, ripped off" Darmstadt team.
