That was quite a challenge! Head coach Thomas Schaaf's players had to go through intensive strength and conditioning training on the second day of the training camp in Dubai in 30 degree Celsius temperatures. Clemens Fritz definitely would have liked to have that burden. The defender instead had to run some laps with physiotherapist Stefan Wolters. Fritz's muscle tear, which he suffered just before the winter break, has healed, but his back and groin have given him problems for days.
Fritz will definitely not play in the test match on Tuesday against Al Ain Club. "Clemens will miss a couple days. But I hope that it's only a short term thing," said Schaaf. The coach also has not had any chance to further observe test player Aymen Abdennour. The Tunisian's return to test training has proven to be more difficult than expected. "His club apparently would like to transfer him right now. But for us, he is only an option if we can see him in training again. I hope that he still come to us in Dubai," said Werder manager Klaus Allofs.
