Gelsenkirchen (dpa) - The new coach Christian Gross has not yet decided on number one in the goal of FC Schalke 04.
"No, I haven't decided yet," said the Swiss coach before the Bundesliga away game on Saturday (6.30 p.m. / Sky) at Hertha BSC when asked whether Frederik Rönnow or Ralf Fährmann will guard the goal at the bottom of the table.
The 28-year-old Dane Rönnow was appointed regular goalkeeper by ex-trainer Manuel Baum after Fährmann started the season under his predecessor David Wagner, but then got injured.
After an adductor injury from Rönnow, the 32-year-old ferryman was back in goal in the last four competitive games before Christmas.
"Everyone is fit and wants to play," said Gross.
In addition, the 66-year-old got a good impression of his new team in the first few days of training.
He trusts her to stop the series of failures of 29 league games without a win in Berlin.
«There is quality there.
I am convinced that the team will come back to victory.
The players have to feel that I want the best and that we can only do it together, ”said Gross before his first Bundesliga game as a coach in more than ten years.
«We all know the situation.
It is crucial that we start the new year well.
I am absolutely convinced that we can stay up. "
One wants to "convince the critics with deeds".

Mark Uth is likely to return to the starting line-up, even if Gross left that open.
After his concussion, Uth has been fully training again since Monday.
Forward Goncalo Paciencia, who is continuing his rehab in Portugal after his knee operation, and Kilian Ludewig, who was operated on on the metatarsal bone, are missing in Berlin.
The missions of Salif Sané (knee injury) and Omar Mascarell (muscular problems) are still questionable, according to Gross.
