Claudio Pizarro is suspended, Hugo Almeida is injured and Boubacar Sanogo is ill. All three players are strikers and all three players will be unavailable to the Green-Whites when they take on VfL Wolfsburg on Saturday, 13.12.2008. The situation means that Werder’s only currently fit front man is Markus Rosenberg. “We do have the odd alternative,” remarked a defiant trainer Thomas Schaaf.

 

“Aaron Hunt was originally a striker but has qualified himself as a midfielder in recent times and prefers to be there himself. Still, I am quite sure that he can still perform for us up front,” commented Schaaf on the possible option of Hunt: “Aside from him, we also have Said Husejinovic, who has been working very hard in training, he is always there and has performed well.”

 

Back in training on Thursday were Naldo and Frank Baumann, who missed out on the clash with Inter Milan in mid-week. Torsten Frings was excused from Thursday’s session due to elevated muscular tonus: “It was just a precautionary measure, he will be able to play on Saturday,” informed Schaaf, who was also without Martin Harnik and Petri Pasanen once again: “Petri’s eye infection has deteriorated again. He won’t b available for Saturday’s game against Wolfsburg,” said Schaaf.
