Rostock (dpa / mv) – Despite extreme personnel worries, second division football club FC Hansa Rostock wants to land their fourth home win of the season against 1. FC Kaiserslautern on Friday evening (6.30 p.m. / Sky). “FCK has power and class. We are expecting an intense fight, there will be a lot going on on the field and in the stands. We want to play our game better than they do theirs,” said Hansa coach Jens Härtel on Wednesday before the duel against the climber who got off to a strong start.Härtel has to change his team almost completely because ten players are out for various reasons. Ryan Malone, Lukas Fröde and Svante Ingelsson are all suspended after five yellow cards, as is John Verhoek. The center forward saw yellow-red in the away game at SpVgg Greuther Fürth (2:2). The defenders Anderson Lucoqui (concussion), Nico Neidhart (laceration) and Damian Roßbach (thigh problems) are also unavailable due to injuries. The trio had to be replaced in the first half of the guest appearance in Fürth. “We tested several options. For everyone who was dissatisfied recently, it is important to show that the coach was wrong to let them out,” said Härtel. Given the plight of the staff, Simon Rhein’s comeback is very likely. “Simon is fully involved and again an option. He was out for five or six weeks, we shouldn’t expect miracles. But he gives us an element that we wouldn’t have without him: game development from behind,” said Haertel. Midfielder Rhein was last used on August 27 in a away game at Karlsruher SC (0-2) and has since had to sit back with a foot injury.
