The Whites confirmed that several players remain sidelined through injury, but the tactician is positive that those who return in time will strengthen the squad for the decisive fixture.
Farke also stressed his confidence in the group available, insisting they are ready to maintain the team’s strong recent form.
“I can confirm that Ilia Gruev is still out, that Gabi Gudmundsson is still out, that Noah Okafor is still out,” he told the media .
“We have Pascal Struijk back in training so let’s see how his body reacts. Hopefully he is available.
“Also, Jayden Bogle is back in training. Could be that he is perhaps available. We have to wait right now how his body reacts to this load.
“Obviously, with Anton (Stach), a bit mixed news. So bad news that he is not available for this game. Good news is it is not a major injury. He just needs to be stitched anyhow.
“And if the game would be next Wednesday or Thursday, he would be available. So it is not a major injury. Just for this game, it is not possible. He will definitely miss this game.
“Also, Sean Longstaff is out. He had a hernia surgery. Not available for this game. So of course, a bit tricky still but we try to find some good solutions.
“In the last game against Brighton, we found a way to win this game. And, yeah, we will try to do more or less similar also on Sunday.”
