Delaney makes his return on Wednesday along with Sargent’s call-up to first-team training

The Werder coach will be able to call upon Thomas Delaney, as the Dane returns to training after having recovered from his calf problem. Ishak Belfodil is also scheduled to be back in training on Tuesday afternoon. However, Ole Käuper will be absent from the closed training session due to illness. 

Josh Sargent gained his call-up to first-team training. “I want to see more of him with us, to track his progression. He is an absolute top talent, which goes without saying, but we need to give him the right support. The first six months are an adjustment period for him,” explains Kohfeldt. He, along with his coaching staff, watched the U23 match against Stuttgart, in which Sargent scored his first goal in Werder colours. The head coach said, “He moves well, holds the ball well. But we must not forget that he has only just arrived in, what is for him, a new and foreign country.”
