Ludwig Augustinsson has been given the all-clear and is available to face Borussia Dortmund on Saturday (22.02.20, 15:30 CET), head coach Florian Kohfeldt shared during a pre-match press conference on Thursday.

“Ludde will definitely be back,” said Kohfeldt. “He had no issues in training this week and will be available for selection on Saturday.” Together with the return of Theodor Gebre Selassie, the Green-Whites will now have both full-backs and regular starters back in the squad. “With the two of them, we can play with either four or three at the back. That gives us more options,” said Kohfeldt. The head coach also praised Augustinsson, adding “Ludde is a defender with international experience, one that is able to win one-on-ones and links up well with his fellow defenders.”

However, the Werder coach will be without Kevin Vogt and Fin Bartels. Christian Groß will also be unavailable due to illness. Kohfeldt will also have to do without Kevin Möhwald and Niclas Füllkrug (long-term injuries), as well as Maximilian Eggestein (serving a ban for yellow-card accumulation) and Philipp Bargfrede.
