Most of the Werder players went to the Bremen Bürgerpark for running training Monday morning. The Green-Whites were out running for about an hour in preparation for the Bundesliga final stretch. Come Saturday, Naldo will likely fill in for the suspended Sokratis at centre back.

The Brazilian recently played defensive midfielder. "I will replace Sokratis. That is my position and I enjoy playing there. Defensive midfielder is okay too. The main thing is that I can help the team," said Naldo, who respects very much his suspended teammate. "Sokratis is very strong. It's too bad that he cannot play against Bayern."


Francois Affolter also praised his partner in central defence and will have to adjust to a new situation. "We have to face a strong Bayern side without Sokratis. It's too bad because he is an important player and we need him," said Affolter. Until now, the Swiss defender, who came to Bremen in the winter break, has played alongside the Greek international in every game.
