Werder Bremen continue to wait for "Piza" as a foot bruise kept Werder's striker Claudio Pizarro out of training Tuesday afternoon 1 November 2011. "I am doing better. It was not that bad, just a small bruise. I can walk normally again. On Thursday I would like to train again with the team," said Pizarro afterwards.

But how did it come that the Green-Whites' top striker has had to sit out his second training this week? "I tried to kick the ball but a Mainz player got between and struck me with his spikes," said the Peruvian about the game in Mainz. Pizarro remained in the game until the end and even set up a goal for Aaron Hunt.

"Piza" could be back by the day after tomorrow, added head coach Thomas Schaaf.
