“Unfortunately Grillitsch is going to be unavailable for a couple of weeks. Luckily he doesn’t need to have an operation that would rule him out for the rest of the season, however he will need a few weeks to recover,” explained Frank Baumann on Wednesday morning. Grillitsch has already begun his individual recovery programme in Bremen.
On the other hand, things are looking good for Lamine Sané. The defender has been unable to train since returning from the training camp in Alhaurin el Grande due to thigh muscle problems, however he was able to take part in Wednesday’s training session with the rest of the team.
“I let myself have some time off in order for the injury to heal properly,” said Sané. “I feel fit and I am looking forward to the game against Dortmund at the weekend.” Zlatko Junuzovic trained individually on Wednesday morning. Neither him nor Aron Jóhannsson were present during the afternoon training session.
