+++ Vestergaard is back: Jannik Vestergaard's summer holiday is now over, as the central defender returned to full training with his teammates on Monday. The Denmark international earned an extra week's holiday after his side made it all the way to the semi-finals of the U21 European Championship at the beginning of July. The 22-year-old spent his time off on holiday with his family in Spain, and used the break to recharge his batteries ahead of the new season. "That was the most important thing. I wanted to come back fresh and 100% motivated for next season, and that's what's I've done. I've been looking forward to rejoining the lads a lot in the last few days and I can't wait for our next session," said Vestergaard. +++
+++ Talking football in Weyhe: Around 1,000 lucky fans had the unique opportunity to see the World Cup trophy up close last Sunday. As part of the "Lap of Honour" scheme, the most important trophy in world football is being paraded around 63 locations all across Germany. At the event, ex-Werder player Frank Baumann, former Werder manager Willi Lemke, ex-Bundesliga referee Peter Gagelmann and journalist Rolf Fuhrmann took part in an interesting live discussion about the sport we all love. Baumann spoke about his disappointment at losing the World Cup Final in 2002, when the Germany national team was beaten by Brazil. +++
+++ Once a Werder player, always a Werder player: Sebastian Mielitz and Florian Trinks have spent many years together both in Werder's academy and with the first team. Nowadays, they play alongside each other for second-division side SpVgg Greuther Fürth. During a photo shoot for their current side, Mielitz und Trinks were pictured looking back at an old issue of Werder magazine - something which they obviously found amusing! I wonder if it featured any of their old teammates' former hairstyles...? +++
