Nuri Sahin will miss the away game at Hannover 96. "There is no chance", said Jürgen Klopp. The midfield strategist has had an ACL injury in the home game against Schalke 04 about three weeks ago. 

However, Sahin has got back to running even though any participation in the game is excluded, just like Kevin Großkreutz, who suffered a muscle tear in early February.

Großkreutz would have been one of the many candidates to replace full-backs Lukasz Piszczek (suffered a partial tear of the syndesmotic ligament three weeks ago in the first leg in Turin) and Marcel Schmelzer (suffered a fiber tear in the second leg against Juventus). Erik Durm, who got injured again after 60 minutes of game time with the U-23 team, will also be unavailable for the match. 

Jürgen Klopp is therefore placing his hopes in a young man who left a very positive impression in the build-up games in winter, although he had also been injured for several weeks: Jeremy Dudziak, who signed a professional contract in January, was still having an individual training session on Wednesday. "He came back to the team training", said Jürgen Klopp about the 19-year old player: "If he's part of the first team today (Friday), he could be an option." (br)
