Hamburg set to loan Rozehnal to Lille

Hamburg is set to loan Czech international defender David Rozehnal to French club Lille.

Hamburg sports director Bastian Reinhardt said Tuesday that the 30-year-old Rozehnal has gone to Lille for a medical.

Reinhardt says Rozehnal is expected to move to Lille on a 10-month loan deal with no purchase option, but ''the last contract details still have to be cleared up.''

Rozehnal joined Hamburg from Lazio a year ago.

Bundesliga rival Schalke announced the signing of defender Nicolas Plestan from Lille earlier Tuesday.
