+++ The victory over Chemnitzer FC in the German DFB Cup was like balsam for the Werder soul. Just how tough this win was could be seen Wednesday morning as four players were missing at the regenerative session.

The training break for Franco Di Santo was purely a precautionary measure after deep cut from the cup match as he is expected to be back at training on Thursday. But three other Werder players might actually miss the away match on Saturday in Mainz. Captain Clemens Fritz is fighting with ligament irritation in his left knee ("I am working on it so that I can play on Saturday and I hope that it works out."); Zlatko Junuzovic is dealing with a knee tendon issue which kept him out of the Chemnitz match; and winger Eljero Elia missed training with a left thigh muscle problem. +++

+++ Starting debut with the professionals: For Levent Aycicek, the cup evening in Chemnitz will always remain a special memory as the 20-year-old midfielder celebrated his debut in the Werder starting line-up. "That was a once-in-a-lifetime feeling. At the beginning, I needed to get used to things but then it got better," said Aycicek about a successful debut in the starting line-up. Now he and the team want to use the momentum in the Bundesliga. +++
