Yussuf Poulsen suffered a muscular injury in his left hamstring in the game against Mainz and was missing in Freiburg. Yussi trained individually on the pitch on Tuesday and is working on his comeback. David Raum received his fifth yellow card against SC Freiburg and will therefore miss the upcoming home game against Wolfsburg. Lois Openda has four yellow cards. If he is cautioned again against Wolfsburg, he will miss the trip to Heidenheim next Saturday.
Wolfsburg did very well in the two games against us this season. Nevertheless, we know that we should've won both games. It's the same team with similar processes in some parts. In other areas it's already visible that Ralph Hasenhüttl is trying to introduce a few new things. We know that he's a coach who likes to actively defend forwards. To what extent we allow this to happen tomorrow is up to us. We watched their two games under him and got the picture. So we think we know what to expect. If things get more attacking, then we might get bit more space that we can use. Of course, we have to be careful and not lose any easy balls. It's important that we play our game and rely on our quality and form. We know what it takes. And that's three points.
I feel like we're doing well right now. I like how the boys are performing at the moment. I like the energy and the way we're currently playing football. Nevertheless, we didn't always get the result we wanted. This means that ultimately we still have steps to take in our development. We want to become even sharper and better. We know that we're valued and measured. They are often snapshots. You have to leave that aside to some extent. Overall, the boys seem solid and we just pick up where we left off.
