Midfield engine Torsten Frings has been absent from the Werder Bremen squad for some time now. The vice-captain had been suffering from what was thought to be a severe calf strain which he picked up in a challenge against Nuremburg on March 18th. A more intensive inspection by national team doctor, Dr. Müller-Wohlfahrt, has revealed a more serious injury. Werder doctor, Dr. Götz Dimanski explained: "It's not your standard break, rather some microscopic-damage to the bone structure. It was so fine that neither the x-ray in Bremen nor the computer MRP could detect it."
The fact that the break was picked up by an inspection in Munich can be explained by Dr. Dimanski: "Sometimes these kind of injuries can only be picked up when they grow back together and the join can then be seen."
Werder head coach Thomas Schaaf commented on Wednesday: "Naturally that is aggitating that it wasn't picked up immediately." The coach is also sure that the news will not delay the return of the German international by much longer. "Nothing more serious has occured in the last couple of weeks. There is no difference to the time he will need to recover. He will have to rest up for at least another ten days. We're going to allow hime to take his time to get over it and hopefully then he can get involved again soon."
