Personnel worries in defense

At Hertha BSC, the personnel problems in defense are tightened. Central defender Niklas Kolbe suffered a rib break in the away game near Darmstadt 98 (0: 0) and fails for the time being. The second division team did not state an exact absence of the 28-year-old. Kolbe fell on the chest in a duel in the second half and had to be replaced. The new addition of SSV Ulm had just replaced the recently weak Márton Dárdai from the starting eleven.
The failure of Kolbes increases the personnel worries of Berliners in defense. In addition to Kolbe, Pascal Klemens is already missing after ankle operation and long -term injured John Brooks (Wade). Coach Stefan Leitl has three central defenders play. In addition to Toni Leistner, Linus Gechter and Kolbe most recently acted, for whom Dárdai should probably come back to the team again on Friday (6:30 p.m./Sky) against SV Elversberg. Agustín Rogel was also substituted against Darmstadt, but did not show any error -free performance.
