Philipp Bargfrede will undergo surgery Wednesday to repair the lateral meniscus in his left knee after the SV Werder midfielder travelled to Augsburg on Tuesday to be examined by knee specialist Dr. Ulrich Boenisch. Bargfrede and the doctor agreed on an arthroscopic procedure to relieve the pain in Bargfrede's left knee.

"Recently I have had more and more pain in my left knee and I want to use the up-coming summer break for the surgery and subsequent rehab. The plan right now looks like I would be fit in time for the start of training," said Bargfrede Wednesday. That means the Werder midfielder will miss the final two test matches against his home club Heeslinger SC (Wednesday at 7 p.m.) and at Wacker Teistungen (Friday at 7 p.m.).

Bargfrede appeared in 20 matches for the Green-Whites in the just-completed season. In his comeback at the end of November 2013, Bargfrede scored his first Bundesliga goal in the 4-4 draw at Hoffenheim. He added goals two and three in Nuremberg and in the home match against Hoffenheim.
