I´ve found a workaround on superuser.com (https://superuser.com/questions/1261885/vmware-workstation-14-not-enough-physical-memory-available-to-start-this-vm-w)

They refer to this Github Commit: https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules/commit/fadedd9c8a4dd23f74da2b448572df95666dfe12#diff-ae0f1d7e5facf85af1a3622655f3c70f

These steps fixed the problem for me:

cd /tmp
cp /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmmon.tar .
tar xf vmmon.tar
rm vmmon.tar
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules/fadedd9c8a4dd23f74da2b448572df95666dfe12/vmmon-only/linux/hostif.c
mv -f hostif.c vmmon-only/linux/hostif.c
tar cf vmmon.tar vmmon-only
rm -fr vmmon-only
sudo mv -f vmmon.tar /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmmon.tar
sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
