One day after the derby victory over Hamburg, the Werder players got on their bikes and rode around the Weser. Philipp Bargrede, who was subbed out for Eljero Elia in the 78th minute against Hamburg, was also on hand for the obligatory "ride down" the day after the match.

"Nothing grave," said Bremen head coach Robin Dutt Sunday after the training session about Bargfrede. That means the coach will only be without the players nominated for their national teams until Thursday. Those players are Ludovic Obraniak (Poland), Zlatko Junuzovic and Sebastian Prödl (both Austria), as well as Theodor Gebre Selassie (Czech Republic) and Martin Kobylanksi (Poland U20s).
