Watch Inter Milan vs Werder Bremen live stream
Bremen will have to face european cup holders Inter Milan without three of their most hailed players for their champions league match in the San Siro. These being Claudio Pizarro, Clemens Fritz and Torsten Frings and the Bremen coach, Thomas Schaaf has acknowledged that the task will be even harder to turn over Inter now that the players are ruled out.
"These injuries hit us hard," he said at a press conference. "In view of our upcoming challenges, these losses mean a drop in quality for the team. We hope that all three get back as soon as possible, but there is the risk that they will miss the next two games," added Schaaf.
The german side have had a tepid start to the season with their derby victory over Hamburg at the weekend only being their second win of the season and they also failed to break the deadlock as they drew with Tottenham in their first champions league match. The match with Inter tonight will be the hardest task they have to face in their group and question marks remain over whether they will be able to produce a good performance. "Inter are the clear favourites and it is impressive what this team is capable of," Bremen coach Schaaf said. Bremen do have Petri Pasanen back at their disposal after he sat out their weekend league match because of injury.
Inter Milan boss Rafael Benitez is still cautious of Werder despite their shaky league form and talking before tonights match he said: "Werder Bremen are a team with a strong mentality and experience, it will certainly be a difficult game. I don't know the Werder Bremen coach personally but I do know that he has experience and quality. Every team in the group drew their first match, so everyone wants to win now. There's more pressure than before. However, we have the belief that we can win."
Inter strikers Diego Milito and Goran Pandev however have question marks over whether they will be ready for the tie tonight. "We will see tomorrow when we do another training session," said Benitez when asked whether the pair would be ready.
Brazilian Mancini will be eager and set to return for inter milan tonight however and will comfort Benitez in his selection issues. "He's an experienced player, it's important for him and us that he has a chance to play," said former Liverpool boss Benitez.
