…INJURY REPORT

Michael Esser and Mohammed Tolba are still out. Matus Bero is missing and suspended. Niclas Thiede has muscular problems, he hasn't trained this week and is not available. All other players are ready to play.

...BAYERN

You can say that Bayern are irritated in the current situation. But that is not an issue for us. We're talking about Bayern Munich. At the beginning we heard what the economic conditions look like. The history of Bavaria is also well known. It's clear to us who the big favourites are: Bayern Munich. You still have the chance to become German champions and win the Champions League. We are the absolute outsiders, Bayern are the big favourites.

…ABOUT MATCH

We're excited, we're looking forward to this game. It's my first home game, which I can experience at home against FC Bayern. It's even nicer at home. Floodlights, special atmosphere – we believe in ourselves and are convinced of ourselves.

…ABOUT MATCH

I'm not expecting a deep, tactically well organised defensive block that just lets us have the ball, but one that gets at us high up the pitch, plays long balls, fights for the ball. It's a completely new challenge. It doesn't matter who it is. At Bayern it's about always getting back up and putting your neck on the line. We're still in second place. We don't need to be ashamed of that. We don't need any sympathy.

…BOCHUM

We need to get back that ease. That's tough. I'm not expecting a walk in the park in Bochum. It'll be a tough pitch, tough opponent, who's got good results lately. A physical opponent. Bochum played very well against Stuttgart and Augsburg. I'm expecting a very hard-fought game. We've also adapted our training, but that's normal.

…TRAINING

We changed our routine a bit. I think after two defeats in a week it doesn't make sense to just keep trotting along as normal.
