Aue (AP) - Second division soccer team FC Erzgebirge Aue will also have to do without Clemens Fandrich in the away game on Saturday (1 p.m. / Sky) at SV Darmstadt 98.
The defensive midfielder is still in quarantine after a positive test for the corona virus, as is athletic trainer Marco Kampf.
The personal situation at the Saxons has nevertheless eased slightly.
Offensive player Jan Hochscheidt has healed his thigh injury and was able to train with the team again this week.
Ben Zolinski, who had to be substituted against Hannover 96, is also available for the Auern.
For coach Dirk Schuster, the game in Darmstadt is also a journey into the past.
With the Hessians, the soccer teacher managed to march through from the 3rd division to the Bundesliga between 2013 and 2015.
"It's still something special to return to where you have celebrated great success and gained a lot of experience," said Schuster at the press conference on Thursday.
"But we are well advised to focus only on the Erzgebirge Aue and the further development of the team."

Although the Auer had no win in the last two games, Schuster is optimistic about the game in Darmstadt.
In the past few weeks, his team presented itself against several top teams at eye level.
«In addition to the mentality, we also made progress through play.
All of this makes me optimistic that we can also take something with us from Darmstadt, ”explained Schuster.
