Darmstadt (dpa/lhe) - League leaders SV Darmstadt 98 are looking at a long list of injuries before the game in the 2nd Bundesliga against Hannover 96 on Friday (6.30 p.m. / Sky). "We know that we are decimated. Nevertheless, we are full of energy. The guys who are on the pitch can go full throttle," said "Lilien" coach Thorsten Lieberknecht on Thursday.
The Hessians will have to do without Aaron Seydel, Fabian Schnellhardt, Klaus Gjasula and Magnus Warming against Hannover. The two defenders Frank Ronstadt and Jannik Müller also trained reduced this week, as the 49-year-old coach reported. Lieberknecht sees “a lot of first division quality” in the game day opponent from Lower Saxony. Five points separate the current fifth in the table from Hessen. "With Hannover, we can expect a good and self-confident team. We need a good performance tomorrow to be able to win," said Lieberknecht.
