Bundesliga 2 - Nuremberg top talent Uzun "still questionable" against HSV
1. FC Nürnberg fears the absence of super talent Can Uzun in the last second division match of the year against Hamburger SV. The attacking player "is still questionable", admitted coach Cristian Fiel on Friday. "He's not pain-free yet." Uzun has been plagued by adductor problems for some time. The 18-year-old last made an appearance two weeks ago in the 5-0 home defeat to Fortuna Düsseldorf. Midfielder Jens Castrop, who has muscular problems, will definitely be missing from the home game on Saturday (13:00/Sky).
"I'm going into the winter break with a good feeling," said Fiel, "but I'd still like to put another game on the pitch where you can see everything we've worked hard for over the last few months." A win against coach Tim Walter's struggling HSV would give Nuremberg 27 points, just one less than the Hanseatic side.
