Rostock (dpa/mv) - At the second division football club FC Hansa Rostock, the personnel situation has eased significantly. The ten players who were injured or suspended in the home game against 1. FC Kaiserslautern (2-0) last weekend will be available again for the away game next Saturday (1 p.m. / Sky) at Jahn Regensburg. "Everyone who was absent recently is there," confirmed Hansa coach Jens Härtel on Thursday.
This heralds serious changes in the starting eleven compared to the game against the promoted team from the Palatinate. Ryan Malone, Lukas Fröde, Svante Ingelsson and John Verhoek, who were suspended against Lautern, are cornerstones in Hartel's concept. This is also Simon Rhein, who made a hopeful comeback at the weekend after a two-month injury break. But now the midfielder is plagued by muscular problems. "We have to wait and see," Hartel said.
Hansa has now gone four games without a win and is threateningly close to the bottom of the table. "The upcoming games are six-point games," said Härtel in view of the precarious sporting situation. The coach sees one reason for this in the way the game is too easy to calculate for the opponents. "We didn't move enough when we had the ball. We have to create passing stations," said the 53-year-old.
