It’s what the Werder fans have been waiting for! Claudio Pizarro took part in some training exercises in this afternoon’s team session. Nouri explained that Claudio had been able to take part in some training exercises but the club don’t want to rush him back too quickly. Nouri did not confirm whether Pizarro would feature in Sunday’s match against Schalke in Gelsenkirchen. “We still don’t know if he’s ready to play,” said the head coach who would like to monitor the player’s progress in training throughout the week.

Goalkeeper Jaroslav Drobny also returned to training on Tuesday afternoon after being out for approximately four weeks after suffering a break to his elbow whilst playing for the Czech Republic national team. He took part in a rehabilitation session without a cast on his left arm for the first time. 

Max Kruse is also making progress but according to Alexander Nouri, the club has to be patient with his recovery. “Max is looking good. He will do some fitness tests this week to help us decide when he will be ready to come back,” explained Nouri.

The players trained in the weights room this morning and will move onto the pitch for their second session of the day at 15:00 CET.
