It was announced yesterday that we would play Bundesliga club Werder Bremen tonight at the Millerntor (6pm local, 2am Wednesday AEST).
After our 2-1 victory on Friday night our next game isn't until Monday. Andre Schubert wants to avoid rustiness developing in between this 10 day break, and thus this friendly was scheduled.
This is a good, competitive match against a solid team top flight team featuring Naldo who is returning from a long injury.
The break offers a chance for a few of our players to rest their niggling injuries - Naki, Kalla, Kruse, Hennings, Ebbers, Takyi, Heber and Filipovic. Only a few...
While we may get the chance to see some more of the likes of Funk, Drobo-Ampem, Daube etc tonight, Kalla is hopeful of returning on Monday night against Duisburg and could feature late in this game.
Werder Bremen striker Kevin Schindler, who has spent loan spells at numerous 2.Bundesliga clubs, may not be on the Bremen bus home after this fixture. It sounds as if, for 150,000 Euros, the 23-year-old versatile forward will be playing for St Pauli soon.
The 1.91m attacker can play up front or on the wing and has featured at Augsburg, Duisburg and, worst of all, Hansa Rostock.
But if the club believes he will add to the squad, lets welcome the front man. He'll probably be a third or fourth choice striker and a fourth or fifth choice winger - depending on where Hennings may be required on match day, or if he proves to be a step behind Schindler.
