+++ Formidable: Second in the table for the second half of the season, climbing to seventh place from 15th – there are numerous statistics that demonstrate Werder’s turnaround in form. However the Green-Whites also stand out when compared to the rest of Europe. SVW are ranked sixth when you take all first to third placed teams across Europe’s top five leagues over the last ten matches, only beaten by the likes of Paris Saint-Germain, AS Monaco and Juventus. +++

+++ Four club: Max Kruse wrote his name in the Werder history books with his incredible four goals at the weekend. Only four other Green-Whites have scored four for Bremen in one match. The last man to do that was Frank Neubarth in the 7-3 victory over Fortuna Düsseldorf back in 1986. Rudi Völler also found the back of the net four times in Werder’s 6-0 thrashing over Borussia Dortmund in 1984. Honorary team captain Arnold “Pico” Schütz hit four in his side’s 5-2 win over Borussia Neunkirchen and Hugo Dausmann hit the same total back in 1965/66 in the 7-0 victory over Borussia Mönchengladbach. +++

+++ Nouri’s childhood dream: Dominant, serious, humble – the Werder head coach came across excellently in his interview with ZDF after Werder’s 4-2 win in Ingolstadt. “I really enjoyed being on the show, it was a great experience. I’ve grown up watching this programme and have always followed it since I was a child. It was really cool to be a part of it,” Nouri said afterwards. +++

+++ The wait is over – Thomas Delaney is ready to return. The Danish midfielder is expected to rejoin first-team training on Tuesday. “I’m delighted to be training again and hopefully I’ll be fit to face Hertha at the weekend,” said Delaney, who has recovered from a hamstring strain. Finally he’ll be able to be in and amongst the action rather than merely watching his teammates on the television or in the stands. “That has been really tough. I’ve tried to stay calm but that has been pretty impossible towards the end of games. It may be that the odd item was thrown in my room,” admitted Delaney with a grin. +++
