Meeting Highlights…INJURY REPORT
Matthias Ginter trained with the team. He may be on the bench tomorrow. Yannik Keitel had problems with his back, problems with de Wade occurred today. He's unlikely to play.
…ABOUT MATCH
Lens is a very strong team that has a lot of pace and has had a lot of success in the last few months. There is one chance for us: that we reach the absolute maximum. Only then can we beat a team like that on a special day.
…FOCUS
It's about the attitude of each individual. How concentrated am I, how do I prepare? No matter whether someone starts or not, no matter what their name is - we need maximum focus. If we bring discipline to the pitch, we have a chance. We did well against Lens because we acted very well against the ball. We have to win the game and have better chances. We'll try to work again tomorrow so that we don't allow Lens many chances.

Franck Haise
Manager on Lens…INJURY REPORT
Regarding Kevin, he almost always plays, apart from a few suspensions or minor injuries. Absences are opportunities for other players to stay good.
…FREIBURG
We analysed the first leg. They had changed the system and animation compared to those put in place in the Bundesliga. This allowed us to see what we needed to improve offensively.
…ABOUT MATCH
In the first leg, we came up against a good team who caused us a lot of problems. SC Friborg is 8th in its championship and is used to European competitions. Despite everything, we move around with great calm and serenity. We know that we have good momentum in Ligue 1 and the European Cup. We want to continue the adventure, we are an ambitious group and we want to show it tomorrow! It won't be easy to have a big match but we will put all the good things from the first leg in place, while trying to correct what we lacked to be more offensive and hurt them even more.
