Bremen (dpa / lby) - Bundesliga club Werder Bremen will have to do without midfielder Leonardo Bittencourt in the game against FC Augsburg on Friday (8.30 p.m. / DAZN). "He has a muscular injury in the rib area. It's painful. It's difficult to make a prognosis," said Werder coach Ole Werner on Thursday. On the other hand, the recently injured Jens Stage and Lee Buchanan are ready for action again.
With FC Augsburg, another poorly started club is waiting for the promoted team on Friday. Werner attaches little importance to being the favorite against the 16th in the table, who was only able to win one game after five days. "I don't really care how we start the game. What's going on with the opponent is also secondary," emphasized the coach. "We prepare for the games. If we are the favorites according to the bookies, we do it the same way as if we are the underdogs."
