Ready for more

Philipp Bargfrede has just 30 minutes to his name so far this season. After celebrating his long-awaited comeback in the game against RB Leipzig, coach Florian Kohfeldt also threw him on for the final minutes in Frankfurt. “The short appearances have been god for me. After my injury I don’t have the fitness to play 90 minutes so the friendly against St. Pauli will be a good test for me to see...

Werder players on international duty

After their last two away matches, some Werder players will be making even longer trips to link up with their respective national sides in the coming weeks. While last minute goalscorer Milot Rashica must travel around 1500 kilometres to represent Kosovo, Jiri Pavlenka must only get to the Czech Republic, where his side will face England.

Toprak to miss Frankfurt game

Ömer Toprak failed to complete the final training session ahead of the Frankfurt game and will therefore miss tomorrow’s match. He had a problem with his calf during the final game and went back into the changing rooms early as a result. It’s not yet known how long he will be out for, but Florian Kohfeldt thinks “it shouldn’t be anything long-term.”

Vital in defence as well as attack

Since his return from injury, Maximilian Eggestein has been unspectacular yet effective for The Green-Whites in their past two Bundesliga games, which is exactly what head coach Florian Kohfeldt has demanded from him. Even if Eggestein isn’t quite the leading attacking force for the team, he is still absolutely indispensable to Werder’s line-up. The 21-year-old’s importance to Florian Kohfeldt is...

A natural-born leader on the pitch

Ömer Toprak could only watch from the stands during last Saturday’s draw in Dortmund. The centre-back has only been able to make two appearances for the Green-Whites to date, after picking up a muscle injury against Hoffenheim. Toprak would have liked to been able to feature against his former club, but “you need to procede accordingly in such a situation,” he said in the Mixed Zone on Thursday....
