Just now, Tommy said:

How many injured players do you have now in total? Just bad luck? Too much intensity in training? Something else? 

Defenders: Moisander, Toprak (both should be fit in about a week), Veljkovic and Langkamp (both in reha-training), Augustinsson (out for 2-3 months)
Midfielders: Möhwald (out for 6 months). Bargfrede (was out for months) and Maxi Eggestein are just back to the squad after injuries.
Attackers: Füllkrug (out for months), Osako (out for 4-6 weeks), Bartels (out indefinitely; potentially career ending). Rashica just returned back as well.

So 9 currently injured with 3 players coming back after injuries. + Sahin suspended. All first team players as well.

Mostly bad luck as it's all different type of injuries; some long-term as well. We actually even hired an external team of specialists to evaluate it to see if there's something contributing to it potentially but no pattern was found. 

 

Hope Maxi Eggestein and Rashica are fit enough for the starting XI tomorrow. If no one else picks up an injury during the warm up we'll probably start like this:

--------------------Pavlenka
Lang---------TGS------Groß--------Friedl
----------------M. Eggestein
------J. Eggestein---------Klaassen
Rashica--------Sargent----------Bittencourt

 

The bring on Pizarro and Bargfrede at some point.

Toprak injured again o.O 

Pizarro doubtful too.

It's a good thing we gave Groß a new contract; we might need to give him a professional one in the near future as he seems to be the only want to stay fit xD

This was an interesting read.... didn't realize that Pizzaro was 41.. god that makes me feel old..

Second most goals scored by a foreign scorer in German football history

Sixth all-time top scorer in Bundesliga (197 goals)

Oldest player to score in Bundesliga history

Oldest player to score a hat-trick in Bundesliga history

Top scorer in Werder Bremen history (152 goals)

More than 200 goals and 18 trophies... not a bad haul for an old boy.. B|

Christian Groß in NDR Sportclub on Sunday. Should be an interesting talk. https://www.ndr.de/fernsehen/sendungen/sportclub/Sportclub,sendung954754.html 

Every week watching him I wonder how he never made it into 1. Bundesliga before. Good positioning, solid technique, good passing, intelligent, solid both in defense and going forward occasionally. Happy he got his chance so late in his career; hope he stays in the first team after the winter break as well.

Ist das etwa keine Meldung wert, dass der stolze Theodor seinen Vertrag verlängert hat?

Ich bin etwas enttäuscht von unserer Werderfraktion. 

Ich auch...

Hier isser, der stolze Theodor!

Oh und der Toprak ist schon wieder verletzt und fällt für den Rest der Hinrunde aus... :4_joy:

I was hoping we'd be looking to replace Theo Tbh. 

I think that's still the plan to be honest. An RB was already one of our priorities in the summer before the injury crisis hit and this new contract extension is only for one year anyway - so I definitely see us getting another RB to replace Theo in the near future. But I'd say it definitely makes sense to keep him - he's still a decent reliable fullback and who knows if we manage to sign someone proper given the state of our budget.
