Overview
- On Friday evening Dynamo Dresden will host SpVgg Greuther Fürth at the Rudolf-Harbig-Stadion with live TV coverage on Sky and a SPORT1 live ticker.
- Two centre-backs, Kenneth Schmidt and Lars Bünning, remain long-term absentees and Thomas Keller has been sidelined by a concussion since 12 September, with coach Thomas Stamm saying Keller can only return once he is symptom-free.
- Friedrich Müller is suspended after receiving a yellow-red card in the Hannover match and Brooklyn Ezeh is unavailable, further shrinking Dresden’s defensive options.
- Nicolai Rapp was taken off at half-time in Hannover because he 'could not continue', leaving his fitness unclear and forcing Ahmet Muhamedbegovic and Till Neininger to fill the backline despite looking overwhelmed last weekend.
- The shortage forces Stamm to field a makeshift defence in a game that carries extra consequence for Dresden given their low league position, and a poor result could increase pressure on the squad and coaching staff.
