Greuther Fürth before starting the second half of the season: AStA rejects contract extension!

The SpVgg Greuther Fürth faces an important game when the test game against TSV 1860 Munich is due on Saturday. This is a dress rehearsal before the second half of the second, which takes place a week later at Prussia Münster. After the first winter test, which ended against the SpVgg Unterhaching 0-0, the focus is on keeping the stability achieved and offensive to set additional accents.

Especially in sight is Marco John, who was brought back by TSG Hoffenheim and could debut in the cloverlatt jersey. In addition, Felix Klaus, 32 years old and committed by Fortuna Düsseldorf, is regarded as an advanced new obligation. However, it is unclear whether the transfer activities are completed in winter with Klaus.
