Following several weeks of gruelling regenerative training, Torsten Frings finally returned to full team training on Friday morning. Trainer Thomas Schaaf was delighted to see his midfield engine back amongst his colleagues but called for patience: "That’s starting to look good again, the way he is training with the lads. We hope he is able to deal with the physical strain. It’s not easy after such a long lay-off." Schaaf quickly put an end to speculation about a comeback against VfL Wolfsburg: "A lot of things are possible, that’s not one of them!"

 

Schaaf is more optimistic though about the speedy return of a couple of other recently unavailable players: "Petri Pasanen and Frank Baumann could possibly be alternatives." The club captain was back in training having been forced out with a flu virus: "I feel a lot better. All-in-all, it looks good for Sunday", explained the defensive all-rounder. Pasanen has been suffering with bruised ribs for a few days now and reduced his involvement on Friday to some individual training.

 

Whether or not Clemens Fritz will be fit again by Sunday is still unclear. The full back had to pull out of Werder’s UEFA Cup clash with Glasgow Rangers on Thursday evening, 13.03.2008, at the last moment as he came down with flu.

 

Striker Ivan Klasnic went through a session of light jogging on Friday morning. As yet there is still no set date as to when the Croatian international will be available again for selection.
