Meeting Highlights…HONORAT
Franck Honorat has had one or two physical problems and has been missing a bit of confidence at times. That's normal and human. He's an incredibly important player for us with his passing and crossing.
…ABOUT MATCH
Everyone here knows the situation we find ourselves in. We can look at the table and know that we have to pick up points. Our aim is to put in the best-possible performance on Saturday and preferably get some points on the board in this game.
…PLEA’S INJURY
Plea has a badly bruised foot, and that's a part of the body that's always under strain. He's suffering from pain like before and will have to recover bit by bit. I don't think he'll be back next week, but we'll see. Injuries are part of the game. We have a big squad that we can trust. We know that Lasso has an important role in the squad, and the same goes for Tomáš. For the game, we've got players in Fukuda and Ranos who can play in that position.

Thomas Letsch
Manager on Bochum…INJURY REPORT
Tim Oermann will be out, he had to go out against Bayern with muscular problems. He will not be available to us next Saturday either. Cristian Gamboa is of course the first option for the back right position. Given his qualities, Matus Bero is the best possible replacement for Toto. But there are still two days until the game.
…OPPONENT
Gladbach gave us problems in the first leg that we couldn't solve at the time. But they were also very effective and were able to use all of their first three chances. We have learned our lessons from it. We have players missing, Gladbach have players missing. But that is not a priority. We have self-confidence and want to bring our style of football onto the pitch. As I said, that didn't work in the first leg. We know how strong Gladbach can be at home. We've seen who they beat there. The respect is there, but of course we go there to win. We can create a buffer.
…ABOUT MATCH
The team sticks together. Of course, not everyone can be satisfied. This shouldn't be the case even if you don't play. We have several options. And when someone is needed, they have to be there. Good training is a prerequisite.
