The 32-year-old Turkish international is currently unable to train as he struggles with a hip injury. This will rule him out of Saturday's Bundesliga game at 1.

Davala joined Bremen in 2003 after spells with Galatasaray SK and AC Milan. He faces competition for the right-back slot from German international Patrick Owomoyela.
