Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania: Rostock before the home game against Paderborn with personal worries

Rostock (dpa / mv) - Second division football club FC Hansa Rostock is looking forward to the home game against SC Paderborn on Saturday (1 p.m. / Sky) with some personal worries. "It got us a bit. Nico Neidhart was ill, ran again today. He's an option. John Verhoek is ill. Lukas Hinterseer has problems with his toe, with Simon Rhein we have to see how it fits," said Hansa -Trainer Jens Härtel on Thursday. After all, Rhein could at least be back in the squad after a week-long injury break. The defensive midfielder was last seen on August 27 in a away game at Karlsruher SC (0-2) and has since had to sit back with a foot injury. The Hanseatic League don't want to hide from the attacking strong East Westphalia, who scored 26 goals more than any other team in the league. "We're playing in a full stadium at home. We don't just want to be deep there, we have to find a mix of offensive play and defensive stability," announced Hartel. The coach has respect for the rival. "We're playing a similar team to Kiel and Magdeburg. The difference is that they have a lot more experience. They're a really strong team." Hansa had recently scored a point at Holstein Kiel with a 1-1 draw and before that they had beaten newly promoted 1. FC Magdeburg 3-1 at home.
