Werder captain Clemens Fritz once again is dealing with muscular problems in his hip pointer and he was kept out of both training sessions Tuesday. Instead, Fritz was receiving physiotherapy treatments in the catacombs of Weser Stadium. "We will take Clemens to the training camp but we will be without him for the first part of it," said Werder coach Robin Dutt Tuesday.

Muscular problems with the hip pointer? That sounds familiar. Fritz had to miss the home match against Bayer Leverkusen with the same issue at the end of the first half. Now the 33-year-old, who a day earlier said he would like to stay with SV Werder beyond the season, is forced to sit out again.

Also unable to train on Tuesday was Lukas Schmitz. The left back had to stay in bed with a cold infection. Just like Fritz, Schmitz will also be on the plane Wednesday morning to Jerez de la Frontera, where the Green-Whites will have 10 days of intensive preparations for the second half of the season.

There will be a new face on board when the plane takes off at 9 a.m. Luca-Milan Zander, a right back in Werder's U19 team, moves into the team with the two question marks. "I need 20 fit players for my training. That's why I needed to nominate him," said Dutt.
