Ahead of their important away game at 1. FSV Mainz 05 on Saturday, Werder’s head coach Alexander Nouri will this week be pleased to welcome back some key players to his squad. Florian Grillitsch, who sustained a shoulder injury whilst training in Spain during the winter break, is back with the first team, while Philipp Bargfrede, another important player, should make his return to training over the next couple of days. “Florian’s shoulder injury is completely healed. Philipp will be slowly re-introduced to first-team training, but we have to be patient whilst he completes his recovery,” explained team doctor Phillip Heitmann.
