Farke on Stach injury, Longstaff surgery and staying competitive

On team news: "I can confirm that Ilia Gruev is still out, that Gabi Gudmundsson is still out, that Noah Okafor is still out."

He also said: "Obviously, with Anton [Stach], a bit mixed news. So bad news that he is not available for this game. Good news is it is not a major injury. He just needs to be stitched anyhow."

Farke also said Sean Longstaff is out due to a "hernia surgery", so he will not be available for this game.

However, Pascal Struijk is back in training, but they are waiting to "see how his body reacts" and "hopefully" he is available.

He added: "Jayden Bogle is back in training. Could be that he is perhaps available. We have to wait right now on how his body reacts to this load."

On beating the drop: "We work at the moment with a smile on our face that's for sure. Of course, when it was confirmed two game days ago there was a big relief and big joy. We had some time between the games to celebrate."

He added: "We enjoyed the moment, but as professional footballers, coaching staff members and as a manager you are also drilled to be competitive and this is what I feel this week. On the training pitch, it was competitive, everyone was on it! It wasn't a relaxed mood playing football on the beach. Everyone wanted to win in the training game, and exercises."

On the future of players' whose contracts are expiring in the summer: "Not yet if I'm honest. I mentioned in my last press conference that right now is the time for us to talk about a few things and sit together."

He added: "Obviously we know that we have a couple of contracts running out, and we will make a decision pretty soon and it will be announced as soon as it's spoken about."
