Head coach Viktor Skripnik has cancelled the team’s day off in this new week’s training schedule after the home defeat to FC Augsburg. But for Skripnik this move should not be seen as a punishment, but rather as a signal that the team wants to make the most of every minute they have in the next few days. “We’ve now got the everyone together and can train as a group with the exception of those with injuries. We therefore want to use every opportunity we have whilst the entire squad is together before the match against Mönchengladbach and to be fully prepared for the match on Saturday evening,” explained the Werder coach.
