This happened of all times during the already touchy personal situation: German international Aaron Hunt had to leave prematurely the final training. The 23-year-old collided with a teammate and remained on the pitch with pain on his face. "I got hit in the abdomen. And something small ripped," said Hunt on the way to the changing room. Head coach Thomas Schaaf could not say yet how serious the injury was. "We have to head into the changing room first and see what exactly happened," said Schaaf.

 

Definitely not heading to Freiburg with the team will be captain Torsten Frings as Schaaf suggested as likely at Thursday's press conference. "The game comes a bit too early for Torsten. It won't work," said Schaaf after the final training. The German international participated in team training on Friday 20 November 2009 for the first time in nearly three weeks. But Frings would likely not be able to support the team enough in their tough encounter in Freiburg. "It just wasn't enough to play," said Frings.

 

The same goes for Peter Niemeyer as the 25-year-old could only complete an individual workout with fitness coach Yann-Benjamin Kugel. "It's getting better but it's still too early to play. I will continue to work out individually on the weekend to get back to team training as soon as possible," said Niemeyer, who could not say when that will happen.

 

Head coach Thomas Schaaf nominated the following 18-man squad for the game in Freiburg: Wiese, Mielitz, Pasanen, Naldo, Fritz, Mertesacker, Marin, Özil, Hunt, Rosenberg, Bargfrede, Boenisch, Husejinovic, Almeida, Prödl, Jensen, Moreno, Oehrl.
