Owomoyela back for Bremen

Tuesday, September 11, 2007

Werder Bremen defender Patrick Owomoyela has returned to full training after making a speedy recovery from a serious thigh injury sustained in July.

Patrick Owomoyela looks likely to be fit for the start of the UEFA Champions League group stage next week after returning to full training with Werder Bremen.

Madrid first
The 27-year old defender feared a three-month lay-off when he pulled up with a thigh injury during a friendly against VfL Oldenburg in July, but has recovered after just two. "I feel really good," said Owomoyela after his first training session. "There's no trouble with the leg so I can train with full energy." Coach Thomas Schaaf is unlikely to pick Owomoyela for next Wednesday's Group C trip to Real Madrid CF, however, with further tests against Olympiacos CFP and S.S. Lazio to come.
