Yes, I'd like to see videos dispalyed.
The good news first off. "All the players have come back fit and healthy," said Alonso at the pre-match press conference on Friday afternoon. "We are very happy that many of them have qualified for Euro 2024 and several have made their debuts."
Equally pleasing news: Jeremie Frimpong, who came back early from the Netherlands squad due to slight hip problem, is available as is Edmond Tapsoba after the operation on his hand. World Cup winner Exequiel Palacios is also ready to play after his intercontinental travel as is Granit Xhaka after three 90-minute appearances for Switzerland.
Still sidelined is Patrik Schick, who "has trained very well. But we want to give him some time. That's why he's not in the squad in Bremen but he may well be against Häcken on Thursday."
Starting with the final pre-match training session on Friday, the focus now is completely on the away game at Werder Bremen who have picked up five points from the last three games. Alonso ahead of the first of eight matches in 26 days: "Bremen have been in good shape in the last few games, played good football and they have a dangerous attack in Borré and Ducksch.”
The Werkself will again be able to rely on strong support at the Weserstadion with 4,000 fans making the trip to Bremen. The whole away allocation has again been taken up. "We are very happy and grateful for this support and we will do everything on the pitch for our fans to be happy travelling a long way."

“As far as mentality and determination are concerned, we have nothing to reproach ourselves for,” Robert Andrich said up after the first home defeat for the Werkself this term. In terms of their play, too, the Black and Reds put in a respectable performance for long stretches of this intense and physical match, outperforming VfB Stuttgart in most areas. It was only in terms of efficiency in front of goal that the Swabians had the edge over the Werkself. Head coach Carles Martínez wants to learn from this so that, in future, they can “win this sort of match too”. The Werkself review.

Rüdiger Vollborn has been at the club for 40 years, he holds the record number of Bundesliga appearances for the club (401) and is the only Bayer 04 player to have won both the UEFA Cup (1988) and the DFB Pokal (1993). And the Berliner stayed with the Werkself after ending his impressive playing career working as a goalkeeping coach for the following nine years. Vollborn now works under the Bayer Cross as a fan liaison officer and club archivist. Since February 2021, the personal Black and Red lexicon takes Werkself fans under the heading of 'Rudi recounts...' on a brief trip through the history of Bayer 04 every month…
