That hurts! Claudio Pizarro slipped on the icy surface Tuesday and the Peruvian banged his right knee harsh enough so that he could not train on Wednesday. "We have to wait and see about the examinations," said head coach Thomas Schaaf. "Maybe he will be okay by tomorrow already." That was difficult to imagine, seeing Pizarro hobbling off the Weser Stadium training grounds on Tuesday.
Teammate Per Mertesacker also could not train due to his gastro-intestinal infection. "I don't know yet when he will be back. Maybe tomorrow, maybe not until Friday," said Schaaf about his centre back. Hugo Almeida was also missing on the pitch while Sebastian Prödl was packed warmly as he prepared for the game against Frankfurt on Saturday with his teammates after an individual workout on Tuesday.
Very few Bremen players braved the icy temperatures with shorts on the training pitch. One of them was Aymen Abdennour as the Tunisian test player seemed to have no problem with the conditions, training the second straight day in shorts. "It doesn't affect me at all," said the 20-year-old, who has been impressive thus far in his tryout in Bremen. "Aymen has fit in very well and made a positive impression," said Schaaf after the session. Tim Borowski was the other Bremen player practicing in shorts.
