The away game at Eintracht Frankfurt was the first in the last three months where his team played "badly" according to Peter Bosz. "We did well before that. Therefore, I hope that performance remains a one-off. We'll do all we can to beat Bremen," declared the Dutchman ahead of the home clash on matchday 15.
After a hectic fixture list over the past months, Bosz had a lot of time after the Frankfurt game to prepare his team for the forthcoming challenge. "We worked on a number of tactical areas," explained the 56-year-old after the "unusually long week of training." Tuesday saw an intensive fitness session in training. Bosz spoke to one or two players individually.
Absent from the training ground this week, in addition to the long-term injuries, were Karim Bellarabi and Mitchell Weiser who are both sidelined for several weeks. Bellarabi fractured his hand in the game against Frankfurt and Weiser suffered a muscle injury. On the plus side, Lars Bender, Daley Sinkgraven and Wendell returned to full training. The defensive trio are therefore an option for the squad against Werder Bremen.

The Bundesliga home game against VfL Wolfsburg in the first half of the season was one of those classic ‘days to forget’ for Bayer 04 Women. It started with goalkeeper Charlotte Voll being shown a red card in the first minute of the game, and following a further sending-off, coach Roberto Pätzold's 9-women side ended up losing 5-1 to last season's runners-up. At 18.30 CET on Sunday, they'll have the chance to exact revenge at the AOK Stadium - and pick up valuable points in the race for third place.

After full time in the 1-1 draw against FC Bayern Munich, the Bayer 04 fans first had to catch their breath. Firstly because of their usual loud support, and secondly because of the great drama they'd witnessed on the pitch: three disallowed goals, two red cards and a Werkself side who "again produced a very good performance against strong opponents", as head coach Kasper Hjulmand described. The Dane was particularly enthused by the performance of young Montrell Culbreath, while Patrik Schick got to enjoy his 200th appearance under the Cross. The Werkself Review unpacks the action.
