On Tuesday, 05.08.2008, Thomas Schaaf’s men will travel to Bulgaria to take on Levski Sofia as part of the DFL (German Football League) ‘Foreign Initiative’: “We’ll get to see if our batteries are fully recharged after the Trabzonspor match,” remarked Schaaf, and added “I think we’ll present ourselves better on Tuesday.” The plan is naturally to put in a perfect dress rehearsal ahead of this Saturday’s, 09.08.2008 at 3:30pm, first competitive hurdle in the DFB Cup against Eintracht Nordhorn. “We’ve been working towards this game since our first day of training,” emphasised Schaaf.

 

During Monday’s training session, the Werder coach was again without Martin Harnik, who slightly twisted his knee in the game against FC St. Gallen. Per Mertesacker is currently going through a rehabilitation programme in Donaustauf following his successful knee operation whilst Diego (Brazil) and Dusko Tosic (Serbia) are both away on duty with their national teams preparing for the Olympic football tournament which starts on Saturday, 08.08.2008.

 

 

The following 18 man squad will make the trip to Sofia:

 

Tim Wiese, Christian Vander – Sebastian Boenisch, Petri Pasanen, Naldo, Frank Baumann, Jurica Vranjes, Clemens Fritz, Markus Rosenberg, Mesut Özil, Aaron Hunt, Sebastian Prödl, Said Husejinovic, Boubacar Sanogo, Daniel Jensen, Torsten Frings, Hugo Almeida, Peter Niemeyer
