Nuremberg (dpa / lby) - 1. FC Nuremberg is considering a return of offensive player Virgil Misidjan before the derby against SpVgg Greuther Fürth.
“He's an option for the squad.
We'll decide on Saturday after the final training whether it's enough, ”said coach Robert Klauss on Friday.
Defender Georg Margreitter due to a muscle injury and Adam Zrelak after an infection are absent from the 267th Franconian Derby on Sunday (1.30 p.m. / Sky).
Pascal Köpke, who was operated on this week after a cruciate ligament rupture, is not there either.
"The operation went well," reported Klauss.
It is a derby premiere for the 35-year-old new trainer from Nuremberg.
"In fact, as a coach, I don't have that much derby experience," said the former Leipzig coach.
"I'm just getting sucked into it."
The Fürth, who documented their strong series with second place in the table before the match day, classifies Klauss as strong opponents.
"I am of the opinion that Fürth currently plays the best football in the league," said the FCN coach.
"But we have shown through the development we have taken that we also have weapons."

As a Derby novice, Klauss feels great anticipation.
«I expect a game that is characterized by emotions.
A game in which there will be a lot of speed and both teams will have a good structure, ”he said.
«These are the games that are fun.
And if it's an emotional derby with a lot of tradition, it gives it that extra kick. "
