http://www.bild.t-online.de/BTO/spo...gs-klose/zoff-sms-gesundheit,geo=2211158.html Isn't that nice, they care about him I'm surprised Mark has his number. Get well soon, just don't be fit for the Bayern match
Sorry, I posted this question in the wrong thread earlier. Will Wome, Jensen, and Hunt be ready for the game against Bochum?
Yes, Womé is expected to be fit again at the beginning of September, Frings middle/end of September and Pasanen September/October. Jensen is expected to restart training this weekend. Almeida is expected in about a week. Hunt has additional to his knee problems also problems with his groin. That´s no easy case.
Naldo has picked up an injury during the Copa America. They don't know yet if he can start training with the team tomorrow.
Baumann has injured his foot and will be out for about a week - and miss the Pokal match vs Braunschweig.
Fritz is also injured and miss the cup match. Don´t know who should substitute him, because Pasanen, Owomoyela and Frings are also injured. Maybe Peter Niemeyer or someone from the reserve. In total 11 injured players. edit: And a question mark behind Andreassen.
Andreassen also out, so we propably start with: ----------------------Wiese-------------------- -Niemeyer-----Mertesacker----Naldo-----Schulz- ----------------------Vranjes------------------ ----C.Alberto------------------Borowski-------- -------------------Diego---------------------- --------Rosenberg-------------Sanogo--------- subs: Vander, Artmann, Schindler, Harnik, Hessel (?)
Schaaf will need to find a more balanced way between letting the best starting 11 play (which is good for team chemistry) and using substitutes to give the first 11 players time to recover. (That´s no critics, but a hint)
finally some good news. Diego, Hugo Almeida, Andreasen and Pasanen are back in team training. Naldo will join the training again tomorrow. Baumann will most likely miss the Bochum match but might be ready for the CL qualifier next week. That means Borowski will lead the team as captain against Bochum. According to Sportbild Owomoyela will be back in September. that's earlier than expected.
Klasnic didn´t pass the medical check of the DFL (German football league), so he is not allowed to train with the team, but has to continue his indivdual training.
Clemens Fritz and Naldo are back in training and will be playing on Saturday. Dusko Tosic has a light injury. Carlos Alberto most likely won't be fit until Saturday.
