Energie Cottbus

Energie coach Bojan Prasnikar was breathing a sigh of relief Wednesday when it emerged that captain Timo Rost will be available for this weekend's clash with Bayern Munich. The 30-year-old clashed with team mate Adi in training to aggravate a foot injury which had been bothering him for weeks. It was feared he may have a hairline fracture, but an X-ray showed this was not the case. After a bout of physiotherapy, Rost was able to return to the training field and prepare for Saturday's big match against Bayern. The Stadion der Freundschaft will be full for the biggest date on the club's sporting calendar and Cottbus knows it needs the three points this time more than any other to remain above the bottom three after a win and a tie in its last two outings.
