Rostock (dpa / mv) – Second division football club FC Hansa Rostock is worried about the use of striker Kai Pröger and defender Lukas Scherff before the last game of the year on Saturday evening (8.30 p.m. / Sky and Sport1) at Eintracht Braunschweig. “Both couldn’t train today. We’ll have to see if it’s enough for Saturday,” said Hansa trainer Patrick Glöckner on Thursday. Pröger and Scherff were substituted early on Wednesday evening in the home game against 1. FC Nürnberg (1-1).

The Rostockers are still two points short of reaching the half-time target of 20 points. To do this, the Hanseatic League would have to win with the strengthened climber. “We have to invest everything to survive. It won’t be easy against a team that has only lost one game in ten,” said Glöckner.
