Signs appeared good that Denni Avdic would return but the Swedish striker is not available for Werder's important away match against St. Pauli after having to leave Friday afternoon's final training prematurely. "He's not there yet," said head coach Thomas Schaaf after the nearly 60-minute session.

Schaaf: "Tim can't go."

Tim Borowski did not even take the pitch. The 30-year-old had not trained with the team all week and also missed the final session before the team headed out for Hamburg.

Included in the 16-man Bremen game squad is Predrag Stevanovic. It was a reward for the recent showings with Werder's third division team for the 20-year-old Serb, who was also part of the Werder senior squad for the away match in Frankfurt. "Of course I'm happy that I can be on hand against St. Pauli," said Stevanovic, who will have an entirely new experience at Millerntor Stadium. "I have never played there and am anxious about the atmosphere." Clemens Fritz is convinced the Brown-Whites fans will do everything they can to push their team to a victory. "It will be a really difficult game. But we all know that we can make a big step to avoiding relegation with a victory," said Fritz.

The following 16 players were named by Thomas Schaaf for the game against St. Pauli: Wiese, Mielitz, Pasanen, Wesley, Arnautovic, Fritz, Marin, Hunt, Silvestre, Wagner, Frings, Pizarro, Mertesacker, Stevanovic, Schmidt, Bargfrede.
