The Hannover 96 players will be allowed to keep the 'No1' tribute to Robert Enke on their shirts for the remainder of the Bundesliga season, the German Football Association (DFB) has confirmed.

"We would like to thank the DFB board for handing our request in such a sensitive and non-bureaucratic manner," said 96 sporting director Jörg Schmadke.

The team are said to be pleased at the decision and also wish to express their gratitude to those responsible at the DFB.

In memory of Robert Enke

The Hannover 96 players sported the subtle tribute to their deceased friend and colleague Robert Enke against Schalke 04 last weekend.

The idea came from Steven Cherundolo and was met by a positive reaction from the rest of the squad.

In memory of Robert Enke, the Hannover 96 players will wear a shirt with Nr 1 on the chest in the away game against FC Schalke 04.

The DFB has approved this already.

The German national team will pay its final respects to Enke with a minute's silence before Wednesday's game.

Pictures of Enke's life and career will be shown on the big screens at the Arena AufSchalke and the players will wear black armbands.

"One of Robert's shirts will be on the bench," added Low. "Robert Enke was not only an extraordinarily good goalkeeper, but also an extraordinary person."
