Werder’s injury crisis has now started to reach the coaching staff as well as the players. Head coach Florian Kohfeldt sustained a foot injury at his home which prevented him from leading both Wednesday and Thursday’s training sessions. However, the coach will return to the training ground on Friday, before travelling with the team to Düsseldorf to take his usual place in the technical area on Saturday, Frank Baumann confirms.

“He’s in a lot of pain and hasn’t been able to come to training,” the sporting director said at his press conference ahead of the start of the Rückrunde. Kohfeldt will spend the night before the game in the team hotel, and assume his role at the helm at the MERKUR SPIEL-ARENA on Saturday (15:30 CET kick off).

Werder have been left in good hands in Kohfeldt’s absence, with the assistant coaching team of Thomas Horsch, Tim Borowski and Ilia Gruev leading the preparations. The training sessions have all gone on as usual, with Kohfeldt watching through a video stream. The pre-match meeting was also rescheduled to take place in Kohfeldt’s living room. “The team are very well prepared for the match on Saturday,” Baumann says with confidence.
