+++ Garcia back on board: SV Werder completed their final training session ahead of their home Bundesliga match against Borussia Mönchengladbach on Sunday. Fin Bartels and Philipp Bargfrede returned on Friday, completing the full training programme and both will be fit to make the squad for the match against the Fohlenelf, as will Santiago Garcia, who returns to the squad for the first time since playing away to 1. FC Köln on March 21st earlier this year. The 27-year-old left back had returned to training at the beginning of August following a lengthy absence due to a knee injury. "It's very special for me to be back in the squad after such a long time. I missed the Bundesliga while I was recovering from my injury and I'm really looking forward to be back. I'm there if the manager needs me," said a visibly excited Santiago Garcia while talking with WERDER.DE.
