Werder Bremen will make the trip to the away match at Nuremberg without Sebastian Prödl, who suffered a torn thigh tendon at training on Thursday, and Marko Arnautovic, who is dealing with a gastro-intestinal infection. In addition, head coach Thomas Schaaf will also be missing Philipp Bargfrede. But Aaron Hunt and Dominik Schmidt are both fit again.
"Want to collect something in Nuremberg"
The fact that Werder are a bit decimated heading to Nuremberg against the best team in the second half of the season does not have any impact on the Green-Whites' goal for Saturday. "It's clear that we are going there to bring something back," said captain Torsten Frings about the team's confidence after the past couple weeks. "It will be a difficult task especially because Nuremberg still have a chance to play internationally next year." Nuremberg's impressive streak also was not lost on Tim Wiese. "They are on a run in which everything is working. You hit everything," said the Werder keeper. "Things are upside because usually we always have the chance to play internationally."
The following 16 players were aboard the plane to Nuremberg as part of the Bremen game squad: Wiese, Mielitz, Fritz, Mertesacker, Schmidt, Silvestre, Pasanen, Frings, Hunt, Wesley, Trinks, Marin, Borowski, Pizarro, Wagner, Avdic.
