The training pitch was fuller in Bremen today than it had been for some time. From the complete Bundesliga squad, only three players were missing from the Tuesday morning session - Frank Baumann, Sebastian Boenisch and Peter Niemeyer. “There’s nothing new from that particular trio. It’s not as if we’re expecting them back in full team training tomorrow or the day after,” explained coach Thomas Schaaf, who was happy to see another long term injured player finally return.
Pierre Wome made his comeback in training after several months out of action through injury and his presence was somewhat unexpected by both the fans and his colleagues. Wome had complained of a groin problem during pre-season preparations in summer and hadn’t made an appearance in training since 25.07.2007. He had thought his suffering was over in January when he returned to team training and even played the second half of a friendly against Hajduk Split but the groin problem flared once again and the 29 year old was forced into a further session of rehabilitation, which he went through on foreign soil. Pierre Wome had been going through a specialised individual training programme in Bremen since Monday, 14.04.2008.
The player himself was clearly delighted about his return to the training pitch and getting involved with his team mates once again as he went about the session in high spirits and in highly motivated fashion. “That’s absolutely normal when you have just been a bit part player for such a long time and are constantly just going through rehabilitation exercises. It’s really special then when you get out on the pitch with the whole group again,” remarked an understanding Thomas Schaaf.
