The headlines about an offer from Porto Allegre that dominated the Bremen media landscape were suddenly pushed to the background as Naldo had to break off training about 10 minutes before it ending. "He has problems with the outside part of the left knee. It is a new injury. We are not talking about the knee which caused him so many problems last year. We will check it out now and take some further examinations. I am worried about such an important player going out right away on the first day. This is not a reason for happiness for a coach," said Bremen head coach Thomas Schaaf.

"Things are really starting to heat up and we are unhappy about it when you consider that we have to continue to work without him. We have conceded enough goals recently. The defence is an important part of what we have to work on, and everyone knows what Naldo was able to do for us in that regard after his return," added Schaaf.

The Werder coach had to tune things down a bit since it was his second top player who he had to see leave with injury concerns within the past 24 hours. Schaaf watched Aaron Hunt head off to rehab late Tuesday after the midfielder suffered an adductors injury in training.
