The week of training before the first competitive match of the season began with the expected decimated training squad. In addition to the missing internationals, Naldo could only complete an individual training due to his lingering knee injury. "It has not really gotten any better. I temporarily had to reduce my program. But I will definitely not play in the cup game in Ahlen," said the Brazilian Tuesday afternoon. It’s an uncommon situation for the Brazilian. "I have been here five years now and was injured a maximum 10 or 15 days. I hope that it’s over with soon," he said impatiently.
Midfielder Daniel Jensen was also not yet available due to a gastro-intestinal infection, which has kept him out of training since the return from training camp in Bad Waltersdorf.
In addition, head coach Thomas Schaaf had the training groups work out together in the morning. The squad was separated in the afternoon. The World Cup players Per Mertesacker, Mesut Özil and Hugo Almeida as well a group of the U23 players completed a lactate test.
