Zlatko Junuzovic will miss SV Werder Bremen’s game at SC Freiburg on Saturday. Head coach Alexander Nouri confirmed the news after the end of training on Friday. “He has come down with an infection and will not travel with us to Freiburg. Hopefully he will be available once more on Tuesday,” added the coach, looking ahead to the midweek game with Schalke 04.
The Austrian had already been forced to take a break after taking a knock on international duty with his country in a match against Finland last week, which Nouri had already explained in his Thursday afternoon press conference.
Positive news comes in the shape of Serge Gnabry. The 21-year-old, who also won’t be available for Saturday’s fixture thanks to a muscle tear trained individually on the Weser Stadion pitch for the time on Friday under the supervision of physiotherapist Jens Beulke.
Gnabry posted a photo to his Instagram account on Friday morning with the message: “Good to be back on the pitch, I’m taking things one step at a time.” However, it is not yet known when Werder’s top scorer this season will make his return to the starting 11.
