Whilst the bulk of the Werder players were still enjoying their summer holidays at the end of June, German U21 international Aaron Hunt was already putting in some extra shifts in preparation for the start of pre-season training on Thursday, 03.07.2008.
“I feel really good and hope that it stays that way,” said the 21 year old. Hunt was plagued throughout last season with knee and groin problems which put the Green-Whites talented youngster out of action for several weeks. That considered, it’s hardly a surprise that the attacker has set himself one particular personal goal for the coming season. “I want to stay healthy.” He will also be hoping to receive plenty of attention for his sporting escapades.
Still not back in Bremen is Werder’s Finnish defender Petri Pasanen, who is currently serving military duty back home in Finland. Pasanen will re-join his team mates on Tuesday, 08.07.2008. The Green-Whites numbers were bolstered during training on Friday by Alparslan Erdem, Marc Heider and Pascal Testroet, from the Werder U23 reserves.
