Werder Bremen is also on the offensive against Borussia Dortmund with major personnel concerns. As in the last 2-0 draw against RB Leipzig, Milot Rashica, Niclas Füllkrug and Davie Selke will not be available on Tuesday (8.30 p.m. / Sky) due to injuries. Above all, the situation at Selke is a source of guesswork for Bremen. “He is symptom-free again. But there are findings that show an injury,” said Werder coach Florian Kohfeldt on Monday. The striker will therefore get a second opinion from another doctor, then it should be decided whether Selke can still be used this year.
For Rashica and also very likely for Füllkrug, the football year is over. “I don’t want to rule out the Hanover game with Niclas, I think the game against Union Berlin is realistic,” said Kohfeldt. Werder will play the second round of the DFB Cup at the second division Hannover 96 on December 23. On January 2, 2021, Union Berlin will be making a guest appearance in the Weser Stadium to kick off the new year.
Against Dortmund Kohfeldt expects a difficult task also because of the coach change. “That is something that has changed the game preparation massively,” said Kohfeldt. “There is no way to see how he worked with teams as head coach,” said Kohfeldt of Edin Terzic, who has succeeded Lucien Favre at BVB. “It’s no longer a routine game for Dortmund,” said Kohfeldt, referring to the change in coach.
