The Bundesliga finally returns! Werder kick off their new season away at TSG 1899 Hoffenheim at 15:30 CEST on Saturday. According to Fin Bartels, the game can’t come soon enough. “After long pre-season preparations, we are all raring to finally get going again.” Alexander Nouri knows that facing TSG Hoffenheim won’t be an easy start to the season. “Hoffenheim are a very good side. Julian Nagelsmann has achieved a lot with his team and they made a very good impression last season.” Former Werder players Florian Grillitsch and Serge Gnabry will be involved in Saturday’s match. “We know what we are up against and what we have to do as a team to win,” said Nouri. “If we put on an excellent team performance, we can get the three points.”
