Christian Gentner: 'Morale is still high in Stuttgart squad'

Christian Gentner has insisted that the Stuttgart squad are still confident of avoiding relegation from the Bundesliga this season.

Another opportunity to gain a valuable win was wasted on Friday night as Huub Stevens watched his side play out a goalless draw with Hertha Berlin at the Mercedes Benz Arena.

However, Gentner claims that the attitude of the players will boost their bid for safety over the next two months.

"Unfortunately the goal didn't happen for us. Of course that's frustrating, but we'll stick together. The passion's there. We desperately need three points to take us forward. That's the biggest disappointment today," the Stuttgart captain told the Bundesliga website.

"Our morale's fine. If we show that in the next 10 games, we'll get it done - no question."

Stuttgart are currently four points adrift of safety at the bottom of the table.
