The training schedule on Wednesday included two intensive sessions for the Werder players. After the morning session took place on the artificial turf of the Platz 11 grounds, the second training was on the usual pitch. Levent Aycicek missed both sessions with minor knee problems though he trained individually in the weight room. Two other Werder players returned for the afternoon practice after sitting out the morning session.
Platz 11 doesn't get a lot of traffic usually. But Werder coach Viktor Skripnik sent his team out to the artificial turf after a short weight room session. Despite near freezing temperatures, the Werder players really went at it in an internal showdown. Levent Aycicek, Felix Kroos and Janek Sternberg were the only players who missed the morning session as the trio worked out in the weight room.
While Kroos and Sternberg returned to the usual training grounds to take part in second team training, Aycicek spent the second practice in the weight room as well. "A precautionary measure," said Skripnik about keeping out the midfielder.
