Whether or not Niklas Moisander and Claudio Pizarro will feature on Saturday afternoon at the Weser-Stadion remains to be seen. Possible appearances from the duo will be not be decided on until after the final training session on Friday, as head coach Alexander Nouri explained at his press conference today. “We’re leaving the door open for them until the last minute since both are important players for us. If another day’s preparation would help both of them, then we will happily give them that time before coming to a final decision,” said the Werder coach. 

Moisander had trained with his teammates again for the first time two hours before the press conference. Claudio Pizarro in contrast could only partake in some individual training with Philipp Bargfrede. Bargfrede being in the squad at the weekend is out of the question. “We are still yet to determine when he’ll be back again,” said Nouri. Florian Grillitsch in the meantime has taken part in first-team training.”He is gradually building himself up again,” Nouri said of the Austrian midfielder.
