This is unbelievable... The way things are going I wouldn't be surprised if SCHAAF tears his MCL or something...
Torsten Frings was surprisingly back in team traning today and could be in the squad on wednesday! But Sanogo and Tim Wiese are doubtful due to light but painful injuries. Besides Peter Niemeyer is out for at least one week because of a knee-injury, Tim Borowski had to break off training today because of back-problems and Nico Pellatz got a lecerated wound.
Some good news. Baumann,Boro and Carlos Alberto have returned to first team training and should be ready for saturdays game against Hertha.
Carlos Alberto and Ivan Klasnic played 45 minutes in a test match yesterday. Sebastian Boenisch is out until January.
Clemens Fritz got a rupture of a muscle fiber after 5 minutes in the match vs. Real Madrid. He will be missed for about 10 days. Tim Wiese and Tim Borowski won´t also be able to play the derby vs. Hamburg. Leon Andreassen is back and ready to play after ankle problems. Diego (booked in CL), Mosquera and Klasnic (not in CL squad) are ready also ready for the Northern derby.
Frings injured his knee and is out for about 6 weeks. I am sad for him, because he missed many games in the Hinrunde and just came back from injury.
injuries after injuries now I'm concerned if he will be in top form for EC2008 although, I won't mind seeing Hitzlsperger stepping up in the NT or Jensen keeping his form here
Nico Pellatz (reserve keeper) broke his right metatarsus and will be out for the next 2-4 month. This is a huge blow for the reserve team. Coach Wolter reacted promptly and nominated Werder U19-keeper Sebastian Mielitz for the next match in Düssedorf.
It was expected for next week, but Frings participated at the team training. I hope everything runs well this time and he can support the team. If fit, he will surely strengthen the defense qualities of the team with his tackling skills and his vision.
This matchday he won´t play on Sunday, maybe next week on Sunday. I also like to see him back, but i also want him to take his time, nothing is worse than another injury. btw: Why do we play next week on Sunday, that´s BS. When we had the UEFA-cup matches the DFL always let us play two days later on Saturday and now, that we are out we get the Sunday matches.
He had, got in Ivory Coast. That´s why he missed the 1st training camp, but according to Werder he ´s already fit enough to go with the team to the second training camp. @Mertesacker meniscus injury: According to Kreiszeitung he is espected to be out for 6 weeks, today he gets operated.
Aaron Hunt got a calf injury and will be out for 2 weeks. Diego is still in Peking, playing on Saturday with Brazil for place 3+ at the Olympics. So a good chance for Mesut Özil to show his potential against Schalke.
