Freiburg (dpa / lsw) - SC Freiburg wants to reconsolidate its place among the top teams in the Bundesliga in the game against SV Werder Bremen on Saturday (3.30 p.m. / Sky). The Europa League participants lost 5-0 at champions Bayern Munich on Sunday and also struggled in the DFB Cup during the week with a 2-1 win after extra time against second division FC St. Pauli. Coach Christian Streich was still worried about the use of national player Matthias Ginter on Friday. The central defender suffered a head laceration against St. Pauli and twisted his ankle.
Newly promoted Werder were eliminated from the cup after a 4-5 penalty shoot-out at second division club SC Paderborn in the second round. Striker Marvin Ducksch, who has since been suspended after indiscipline, is set to return to Bremen's starting XI.
