New signing Nuri Sahin is also in contention to start for the first time. The midfielder played 164 minutes in Werder’s two friendly games last week. “Nuri could definitely start, but I’ve got 17 or 18 other players that I work with everyday to consider,” said Kohfeldt.
The boss also commented on his tactics for this weekend’s game: “We’ll need different types of players against Nürnberg and I’ll decide who the best options will be to play specifically against them. With the large squad, we have the opportunity to play our in-form players and change things accordingly.”
