+++ Award for Junuzovic: Werder's midfielder Zlatko Junuzovic has been named "Austria's foreign-based footballer of the year". The 27-year-old could not be present at the 19th Bruno Gala at the Wiener Rathaus for the ceremony because he was with his teammates celebrating Werder's win over Borussia Mönchengladbach. Junuzovic appeared pleased in a pre-recorded acceptance speech, which had been arranged because of the clash with the Werder game. "I am proud to receive this award. I see it as confirmation of the good things I've done, even in a difficult season." Junuzovic was handed the award by Dr. Rudolf Nowotny. It is the third Bruno Award for Werder's number 16. In 2010 he won the award for "Performer of the season", and one year later he was voted "Player of the season". +++
+++ Warm down without international players: The Werder players had a light training session on the day after the 2-1 win over Borussia Mönchengladbach. The warm down took place under sunny skies at the training ground by the Weser, but the Green-Whites were without players called up for their national sides. Zlatko Junuzovic, Theodor Gebre Selassie, Anthony Ujah, Aron Jóhannsson, Ulisses Garcia and Florian Grillitsch were all absent from the session as they were on their way to meet up with their respective national teams. +++
