+++ Derby week begins: Werder were back in training on Monday morning following Sunday's 3-2 defeat away in Stuttgart. Manager Viktor Skripnik had his men do some running to warm down, before going over some intense analysis at the Weser Stadium. Philipp Bargfrede (thigh problem), Davie Selke (muscular problem), Jannik Vestergaard (treatment) and Fin Bartels were missing from the session. Bartels is actually currently at the doctors having and examination. As soon as his diagnosis is confirmed, we will report on WERDER.DE. +++

+++ First goal for Vestergaard: Jannik Vestergaard will look back on this defeat with mixed emotions. Indeed, Werder conceded three goals and were beaten by VfB Stuttgart, but the central defender also scored his first goal for the Green-Whites. "It's a shame that the goal didn't count for anything in the end," said the Danish U21s captain. But Vestergaard was one of Werder's stand-out performers on Sunday, not just because of his goal. The centre back had the most touches for Bremen, won the most tackles and played the most passes. +++
+++ Back on the pitch: Julian von Haacke and Özkan Yildirim celebrated their comebacks in the 5-1 win against Eintracht Norderstedt for the Werder U23s. Both players have been out around a year. Von Haacke was included in Alexander Nouri's starting line up and was replaced by Yildirim after 64 minutes. Werder's goals were scored by Wegner (2), Capin, Grillitsch and Eggestein. With the win, Werder's young players go top of the Regionalliga Nord. +++
