"Kasper Hjulmand is not looking for any excuses as he shrugged off concern over fatigue ahead of Bayer Leverkusen's clash with Augsburg. Leverkusen head to Augsburg on Saturday. It will mark their fifth game in the space of 14 days across all competitions. Hjulmand's team have won three of their four games since the end of the November international break, beating Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga, Manchester City in the Champions League and Borussia Dortmund in the DFB-Pokal."
""We're not tired, we love games," said the Dane. "Of course, an away game at Augsburg is always difficult and intense. They've shown against Bayern Munich, Dortmund and Stuttgart that they can hold their own against top teams. "We're absolutely ready and we'll give our all again right to the end. "It is very important to keep clocking up points in the last games of the year.""
