It’s the question that all Werder fans are asking at the moment: will Max Kruse be fit for the DFB-Pokal semi-final against FC Bayern? “We can’t say yet,” said Florian Kohfeldt in his press conference on Tuesday. The Werder captain has a bad bruise from last weekend’s game.

Kruse did not take part in training on Tuesday. The current goal of the medical staff is that the forward will take part in the last training session before the game tomorrow morning. “We’ll do everything we can and so will Max. It’s tight, but we’re optimistic that he can play. If he doesn’t, we’ve got enough players who would jump at the chance to play,” said Kohfeldt.

Johannes Eggestein and Philip Bargfrede are both fit and ready to play. Kohfeldt didn’t confirm whether Bargfrede would start the game, with Nuri Sahin suspended: “Bargi is always someone who you can rely on. He also knows games like this. We’ll see today in training.”
