The question on all Werder Bremen fans’ minds on Friday was answered with a "no". Claudio Pizarro could not make the trip to Nuremberg. "He will not be with us. He has gotten better, but not decisive enough that he could play," said head coach Thomas Schaaf. Pizarro joins Marcelo Moreno, Torsten Oehrl and Hugo Almeida as the fourth striker who will miss the match on Saturday in Nuremberg. One player who could make everyone forget about the striker problems on Saturday is Markus Rosenberg. The Swedish international scored his team’s only goal during the final training and hopes to play in Nuremberg.

 

And another player who could help score some goals on Saturday is defender Naldo. "Claudio of course will be missed. He has scored a lot of important goals for us. We still have other strikers on our squad. But secretly I hope to score a goal myself," admitted the Brazilian.

 

Werder Bremen travel to the away match in Nuremberg with the following 16-man roster: Wiese, Vander, Pasanen, Naldo, Fritz, Mertesacker, Marin, Özil, Borowski, Hunt, Frings, Niemeyer, Rosenberg, Bargfrede, Boenisch, Husejinovic.
