Claudio Pizarro started on a sprint and just 20 yards into it had to end it abruptly, with the Peruvian striker dropping to the wet training grounds with his head in his hands. Werder’s physiotherapist Holger Berger rushed out to treat and bandage Pizarro. While his teammates ran down after the end of training, Pizarro headed for the changing room with bandage and thermal pack on his leg.

 

"I went for a sprint and felt a twitch. It doesn’t look good," said 'Piza' about the gravity of his right thigh injury on his way to the showers. "Of course it would be bitter if he were to be out again," sighed captain Torsten Frings. "But in the end, it doesn’t matter who plays on Saturday. Most important is that we function as a team again," said the veteran ahead of the home match against Eintracht Frankfurt.

 

Signs meanwhile point to Philipp Bargfrede possibly making his return to the Werder squad against Frankfurt. "It looks really good that I can go again over the weekend," said the midfielder, who completed another running drill in the early afternoon Wednesday with Yann-Benjamin Kugel and Petri Pasanen. While that trio was still running, Claudio Pizarro was just leaving his quick visit with Dr. Götz Dimanski in the team changing room with a limp and his head hanging down.
