Press news in...

Daniel Farke is on his way to give his conference.

----------------------------------------------------------------

DF: Nothing too special for injuries. Grant Hanley is still on his way back. Timm Klose has a long-term injury. Alex Tettey is not available for private reasons. Jamal Lewis returned to team training this week, but we'll decide how that develops.

DF: You feel for the Head Coach when the relationship between him and the club comes to an end. It's still a top class club with top class players.

DF: It's perhaps more difficult to play a side when they have fresh energy, but it is what it is and we'll handle the situation.

DF: We're not too down after disappointing results and weren't too high after the Everton win. We remain the underdogs in every game, especially against Arsenal. But we always have a chance.

DF: Zimmermann was our key player in defence last season. To have him back is always important with his skills. His experience helps the young players.

DF: We had some highlights in the first 12 games but weren't overly happy with the amount of points. The main part of the season started at Everton to determine the table. We want to be as strong as possible.

DF: We have to be flexible on this level. It's important to surprise the opponent and react to developments within the game. We showed we could change in the last 15 minutes at Goodison Park.

DF: Cantwell wasn't able to train from Monday to Wednesday, but he's been back since Thursday, so I think he'll be available for Sunday.

DF: It's a tough call at full-back, but as a coach you look forward to having that. I miss the pain of needing to make the choice. It will be even better when Hanley is back in the mix, we need the competition.

DF: Sam Byram's versatility is one of his biggest strengths, he was one of our best signings from the summer. When he wasn't starting, he was always pushing the other players to deliver.

DF: I think there will be fresh energy in the Arsenal side. To have a legend like Freddie in charge will be a big boost for the fans and the players.

DF: Aubameyang is a world-class player and a great guy. It's no coincidence he's worn the captain's armband several times. I always enjoyed meeting him at Dortmund.

DF: We don't have to sell our best players. It's a relaxed situation and we have a few opportunities to do some business ourselves in January.

DF: It's not easy to name a squad without Mo Leitner or Emi Buendia, but we always have to decide on tactical terms who is prepared. Emi is different to Todd. Mo is different to Trybull or McLean.
