Kevin De Bruyne's left knee was bandaged and taped on a photo he posted on Facebook during the middle of the week. His comment was: "I will do everything to be back on the weekend!" The Werder midfielder's regenerative measures worked. "He will be available again and will be in Gladbach. We have to see though if he can play," said Werder coach Thomas Schaaf after Friday's final training, in which De Bruyne took part. The Belgian international's patella tendon problems, which cost him two days of training, were a thing of the past.

Keeper Richard Strebinger meanwhile was unable to return to the pitch in time. After a collision with fellow keeper Raphael Wolf, the Austrian will not be an option for the game at Borussia Mönchengladbach Saturday evening at 6:30 p.m.

Schaaf nominated the following 18 players for the away match at Borussia-Park: Mielitz, Vander - Pavlovic, Lukimya, De Bruyne, Arnautovic, Fritz, Ekici, Elia, Schmitz, Hunt, Junuzovic, Ignjovski, Kroos, Gebre Selassie, Petersen, Trybull, Yildirim.
