Hamburger will play with Leverkusen.But it's not Renato's knee that is the problem this time round. The coaching staff and physios were unaware that Renato Augusto had picked up a knock in the 1-0 win in the derby. "He's completely recovered from the old injury but he's now got a massive bruise on the calf of his other leg. Our physios are working on it day and night but it's not worth taking any risks. I've seen the leg and the bruising is very bad indeed and he needs to rest it if he's to get fit for the Hamburg game," reported the Bayer 04 head coach.Toni Kroos is now the likely first choice for the right midfield slot in the Nürnberg clash. Heynckes is keeping his options open but he has run through this option on the training ground. Another feature of this week's pre-match preparations was working on creating chances. The coaching staff have reacted to the lack of goalscoring opportunities for the Bayer strike force in the last two games: "We played a calm and intelligent game against Köln but we need to be much more positive going forward and create more chances in front of goal. But the whole team needs to be involved in making things happen up front. It's no coincidence that Simon Rolfes scored the goal at Köln. I told him he needs to get forward more and pose a greater threat on goal. And I'm also looking for the full backs Schwaab and Castro to offer more attacking options.For me Hamburg wil win here.
