At the end, Sebastian Mielitz had assistant coach Matthias Hönerbach shoot a few more balls at him between the posts – a couple of stops to his left, a few flights to the right. Then he ended the final training session Friday afternoon 22 October 2010. Mielitz is ready for his third Bundesliga appearance as replacement for the injured Tim Wiese on Saturday 23 October 2010 at 3:30 p.m. at Borussia Mönchengladbach.

 

The second string goalkeeper will be U23 goalkeeper Felix Wiedwald. Tim Borowski meanwhile will not be ready in time and missed the final training session with an ankle problem. "He is not fit enough yet. We have to be more patient," said head coach Thomas Schaaf about his missing midfielder, who also missed Wednesday’s 1-1 draw in the Champions League against Twente Enschede. While "Boro" will miss the game, Sandro Wagner has recovered from his knee ligament strain and is included in the Green-Whites’ squad. Felix Kroos and Onur Ayik will be going for their second victory of the season with the U23 team at Carl Zeiss Jena on Saturday 23 October 2010 at 2 p.m.

 

Claudio Pizarro has scored five goals in his last four games against Gladbach and with a goal on Saturday would become the Bundesliga’s top foreign-born scorer in league history. And the Peruvian is much looking forward to three points. "The main thing is that we win there. We just have to have a concentrated showing," said "Piza" after training. The Green-Whites’ hunt for three points began with the team bus’s departure for Mönchengladbach.

 

These 18 players are on the squad against Borussia Mönchengladbach: Mielitz, Wiedwald, Pasanen, Wesley, Arnautovic, Fritz, Marin, Hunt, Prödl, Silvestre, Husejinovic, Wagner, Jensen, Frings, Almeida, Pizarro, Mertesacker, Bargfrede.
