Delaney and Bargfrede join in full training

Just six days separate last week’s game with Darmstadt 98 and this Friday’s game with Bayer Leverkusen. As a result the race against time to be fit for those with small knocks is also limited.

Two halves, two stories

SV Werder have had to wait over two years for such a streak. With their 2-0 win over Darmstadt 98, they gained three more all-important points. But it didn’t look like it would go that way at first. “We were lacking passion to begin with,” remarked Max Kruse after the game, who scored twice. After a difficult first-half in which the Green-whites struggled to keep it level, Kruse’s goals were the...

A towering presence

It was a perfect evening for Lamine Sané in a number of ways. The Senegalese international, making his 18th Bundesliga appearance, was a key ingredient in Bremen’s 2-1 victory in Wolfsburg. For long spells, a victory wasn’t certain, as Wolfsburg pushed Werder back deep into their own half, but right in the middle of all this was the tall defender. “Lamine sacrificed himself for us,” praised...

“Fought for one another”

No Werder fan would deny that the Green-Whites didn’t exactly put in their best performance of the season in the Volkswagen Arena on Friday night, but Alexander Nouri’s team once again revealed their fighting spirit – just like last week in Mainz, and once again, their efforts were rewarded, this time with a 2-1 victory in Wolfsburg on Bundesliga matchday 22.

VfL Wolfsburg were on the front foot for much of the game, but two early goals from Serge Gnabry in front of around 30,000 fans at the Volkswagen Arena were enough to secure a 2-1 victory and all three points for the Green-Whites. Borja Mayoral pulled a goal back within 60...

An interesting opponent

Nearly a week has passed since the victory in Mainz and the Werder players are packing their bags in readiness for another away day. This time the destination is Wolfsburg’s Volkswagen Arena and the opponent finds itself in a similar predicament to that of Werder, somewhat lower down the league table than many would have expected at the start of the season.
