Head coach Florian Kohfeldt was unable to deliver the good news himself because he missed Thursday’s press conference due to a foot injury. Instead, Frank Baumann was on hand to field questions about Werder’s return to Bundesliga action against Fortuna Düsseldorf on Saturday, 18/01/2020 at 15:30 CET, a game for which Leonardo Bittencourt, Milos Veljkovic and Fin Bartels will all be available.

Having recovered from injuries and returned to training in Mallorca, the trio now also return to the match squad. Ludwig Augustinsson, however, will not feature against Fortuna Düsseldorf. The left-back is still recovering from the injury he picked up before Christmas. “We have to be careful with him, so he won’t be training with the team for the rest of the week,” said Baumann.
