Julian Nagelsmann on the personnel: "Serge and Jamal have resumed training. King is not yet an option for Fürth, but we are happy that he is running again. Coco Tolisso is not an option either, but is getting better. Lucas had a slight knee problem yesterday but is back today"
Nagelsmann: "Christian Früchtl will replace Sven Ulreich in the squad"
Nagelsmann on tomorrow's game: "The objectives of the two teams are totally different. Fürth have just been promoted, and it's not easy to establish themselves in the league straight away. We are favourites and we want to win. We are top of the table and want to stay there"
The team practiced throw-ins this week..
Nagelsmann: "That was the idea of Dino Topmöller, who is responsible for set pieces. Throw-ins are special because the player who takes them is outside the pitch and you have one player less. It's important to practice that situation"
Nagelsmann: "30% of goals come from set pieces, and throw-ins are part of that. We didn't do it very well against Bochum, so we want better solutions. The players, on the other hand, were very open to it"
Is there a quality gap in the Bundesliga?
Nagelsmann: "In all leagues and all areas, someone is always more successful than others. The others have to work. Everyone has to go to their limits. I've always tried that before. We have great challengers"
Nagelsmann on the Rüdiger rumours: "I'm not a fan of talking about players under contract at other clubs, and we're outside the transfer period. He's a German international, and is performing very well. Thomas (Tuchel) helped him reach his best level"
Could Sabitzer start on the wing tomorrow?
Nagelsmann: "Sabitzer can play on the wing. It's not his best position, he's better centrally. He is still getting started here. He's an option for the starting XI"
Could Musiala/Gnabry start tomorrow?
Nagelsmann: "Serge and Jamal can both play, but we have to wait until tomorrow to see if there are any reactions to training. We're playing in the Champions League next week. The chances that they will start tomorrow are very slim"
