Werder defender Mikael Silvestre suffered a back injury at final training one day before the game at Schalke, forcing the Frenchman to leave training early and bringing down a bit of his good mood.
"Something is blocked in his back and we have to see if it can go away by Saturday," said Werder manager Klaus Allofs, who followed the training session from the sidelines. "But certainly he will travel with us to Gelsenkirchen." Still an appearance by Silvestre is questionable.
One Werder player definitely not in the Werder roster for the Schalke match is Marko Arnautovic, who returned from the Austrian national team on Thursday from Vienna with an adductors problem and is not available.
The Werder troop of 17 players including returnee Clemens Fritz and banged up Mikael Silvestre left Bremen main station at 3:44 p.m. with an ICE train for Gelsenkirchen, hoping to pick up three points from Veltins Arena.
These 17 players are travelling to Gelsenkirchen: Wiese, Mielitz - Mertesacker, Balogun, Prödl, Pasanen, Silvestre, Fritz - Marin, Hunt, Bargfrede, Wesley, Jensen, Frings, Husejinovic - Wagner, Almeida
