#InternationalWerkself – ‘We can make history'

Bayer 04 have had three weeks packed with fixtures. Before the next battle for important points in the Bundesliga in two weeks time against SC Freiburg (24 November, kick-off: 15.30 CET), 13 Werkself players will be on international duty.

Lukas Hradecky can achieve a lot in the next two weeks: If the keeper and his Finnish team-mates pick up more than one point against Lichtenstein and Hungary then the North Europeans will be in the European Championship finals for the first time. "We can make a piece of history for our country," said the 29-year-old full of anticipation. Kai Havertz wanted to have the same feeling as one of the three Bayer 04 players called up to the Germany squad. However, the 20-year-old suffered an injury in the Bundesliga clash with VfL Wolfsburg (2-0) and has now had to drop out of the forthcoming matches for Germany.
