+++ Werder lead the way in youth work: The Green-Whites are doing things the Werder way as they march on in the Bundesliga. The 'youth-work ranking,' put together by transfermarkt.de, has SV Werder in first place. Amassing a total of 204 Bundesliga appearances, there are twelve home-grown players in Viktor Skripnik's first-team squad, including seasoned Bundesliga professionals such as Philipp Bargfrede and Felix Wiedwald, and youngsters such as Julian von Haacke, Florian Grillitsch and Luca Zander. SV Werder therefore lead the way, ahead of FC Schalke 04 (11) in second place and Eintracht Frankfurt (8) in third. The statistics are compiled by assessing how many players in a club's first-team squad have also appeared for their respective U17 or U19 teams. +++

+++ Five yellows for captain Clemens: Werder captain Clemens Fritz received his fifth yellow card of the season for dissent in the game against VfL Wolfsburg. As a result, the 34-year-old is suspended for the upcoming Nordderby against Hamburger SV next Saturday. +++
