Head coach Florian Kohfeldt was dealt some bad news on Monday, as midfielder Philipp Bargfrede will not be available to feature in Werder’s opening match of the Rückrunde against Fortuna Düsseldorf on Saturday. The results of an MRI on Monday morning confirmed the 30-year-old has suffered a calf injury.

“Bargi will be unavailable to face both Düsseldorf and Hoffenheim,” said head coach Florian Kohfeldt. “Of course, this is disappointing for us, as we could use a player of his quality on the pitch. We will do everything we can in order to have him back to full health as soon as possible.”

Michael Lang will also be unavailable to feature for Werder. The full-back will be out for several weeks with a muscle injury in his right thigh, a diagnosis that was confirmed by a recent MRI in Bremen. Lang picked up the injury during training camp in Mallorca.
