Europa League Preview: Bremen vs. Athletic Bilbao
By: Jamie | September 30th, 2009
So, our defense starts to look relatively good for a change – and what happens? Practically our entire back line picks up injuries, of course! First, Fritz was subbed early in the match on Saturday, and Boenisch also emerged from the match complaining of a thigh injury. He’s still doubtful. Then, Per Mertesacker gives himself a great birthday present by getting a nasty cut above his eye. Fortunately, it looks like Fritz and big Per are fairly certain to play tomorrow. But let’s not have these close calls, okay guys?
Boro picked up a back injury as well and is doubtful for the Athletic match. I think we could do with giving him a rest. And apparently he was booed during the Mainz match? Come on now, ladies and gentlemen, we were winning the match; no need for booing. I mean, was he really THAT bad? I understand that you want to let the players and team know what you think of them, but I don’t advocate booing the team you support. Nice of Frings to defend his pal, though.
Athletic Bilbao have had a hard time in La Liga, most recently being demolished 4-0 by Sevilla. So they’ll either be vulnerable to attack or they’ll be really incredibly hungry for a result. I’m guessing the latter.
