Leftback Aleksandar Ignjovski certainly imagined his return after missing 12 match days differently as "Iggy" was hit double hard. Not only did the Serbian watch his team lose 4-1 at home to Bayer Leverkusen Wednesday night, he also picked up an injury in the match.

That meant Werder's No. 17 spent Thursday morning undergoing doctor's examinations instead of run-downs with his teammates. The diagnosis in the afternoon was a bruised knee, which will force him to miss a few days. But it's unclear if he will have to miss Sunday's game in Hoffenheim.

Marko Arnautovic, who missed the Leverkusen match with a cold, was still unable to get back to the pitch. The Austrian hopes he gets healthy soon. When and if he will be fit in time for the match at 1899 Hoffenheim on Sunday 2 December 2012 at 3:30 p.m. remains to be seen. "Nothing has changed with Marko unfortunately. We have to wait and see if he is far enough for an appearance on the weekend," said head coach Thomas Schaaf after the training session.
