Meeting Highlights…INJURY REPORT
Lukas Klostermann is out for the time being with a thigh injury. Klosti is expected to be reintegrated during the international break. David Raum, Amadou Haidara and Lois Openda are all on four yellow cards. If they receive another in the upcoming home game against Darmstadt, they will miss the away game in Cologne.
...HOME MATCH
We want to take the energy from the game at Real Madrid onto the pitch tomorrow. We need an energetic performance to get the win against Darmstadt. This is a team that is fighting hard to stay in the league. They press high, man mark, and play in a very compact manner. So we will also need patience.
...STARTING LINE-UP
We didn’t suffer any major injuries on Wednesday and there were no minor ones either. Mohamed Simakan is an option again. I'll talk to the boys later about how they're feeling and how much energy they still have.We need energetic players tomorrow. We’re trying to find a mix between freshness and the guys who did very well in Madrid.

Torsten Lieberknecht
Manager on Darmstadt…INJURY REPORT
Fraser Hornby is in rehab in England. Marvin Mehlem and Clemens Riedel are doing rehab here in our stadium. Matthias Bader, Fabian Holland and Fabian Nürnberger are also out. That means there are definitely five potential regular players missing. Matej Maglica suffered a minor injury during training yesterday. But I believe that he will be back in the final training session tomorrow. Back on the pitch are Fabian Schnellhardt and Braydon Manu, who have made a decent impression after their long-term injuries.
...ABOUT MATCH
We discussed that we wanted to change a few things on the pitch independently of Leipzig. It's about security and clarity. We stay with ourselves. There are no games in which we have nothing to lose. After all, it's always about points. The challenge in Leipzig is as big as it gets. The most important thing will be how much the boys are willing to believe in the things that we worked on very hard during the training week and implement them on Saturday.
...LEIPZIG
Leipzig had an unfortunate exit against Real Madrid yesterday. That says everything about the challenge we have before us. Leipzig has no weaknesses – and that is exactly their strength.
