Goalkeeper Michael Zetterer is managing his workload after having his foot trodden on during the defeat away to Borussia Mönchengladbach. Abed Nankishi is similarly being managed individually, while Marco Grüll remains absent from team training following a slight muscle injury sustained during the DFB-Pokal clash in Paderborn.
Patrice Covic (U19s) has therefore been promoted from the Werder academy to join senior team training.
