Head's Home After Tough Loss
On a chilly Saturday morning, Ole Werner (35) gave the thumbs up for participation in Werder's home game against Leverkusen. The gaffer's flu-like illness had forced him to take a couple of days off, leaving assistant coach Patrick Kohlmann to step up and prepare for the game.
Werner's presence on the pitch didn't yield excellent results, but perhaps the brisk air benefitted him. After the final whistle, the drained coach retreated back to his warm bed.
Off the Field, Off to Rest
Kohlmann manned the obligatory post-match press conference, allowing Werner to take it easy. Head of soccer Clemens Fritz issued a statement, "Ole ought to rejuvenate in privacy. All being well, he'll be training with us come Tuesday."
