Damnit! Klose injured!

[Ballack13]

He messed up his shoulder against St. Pauli...out for 3 months. Great.

[Mertesacker]

Nobody knows how longs he's going to be out, right now everything is just speculation.

They know the shoulder is dislocated but they don't know if ligaments are damaged or not.

[Valmiki]

Well at least he will be in wc 2006, hope it does not affect his form. Bremen's hopes in Europe and the Bundesliga have now been dented.

[Ballack13]

He should be back fore the WC but question is what will his form be?

Right now he is in great form...its a shame.

[Coldplay]

He can still make it to WM so not a big problem..........I think Hunt can be a great replacement for Klose in Bremen. But for our NT.......this can only create more pressure for Poldi. hope Kiessling, Lauth and Hanke can do well for the rest of the season

[Timonator]

Calm down people! Schaaf was very, very angry when he said that Miro might be injured for 3 months! I'll wait until they are 100% sure of what he has and for how long he'll be out.

Gonna post it when i heard something new ;)

[Borussia Wolf]

Well at least you still have Poldi. He scores loads of goals (NOT)

[Timonator]

See people i told you to calm down!

Miro will be out 4-6 weeks :nod Thank god it's not 3 months! I knew that Schaaf was pissed off and angry. He only said it to scare the responsible persons :rolleyes: Still this wouldn't have happened if the DFB, would've displayed the match :rolleyes: But nooooo they wanted their sensation :rolleyes:

He'll miss the CL game against Juve :(

[Valmiki]

Soccernet says about 3 weeks, so maybe he could at least get the 2nd leg against Juventus.

The positive side of all this was mentioned by Coldplay --- Aaron Hunt should get more opportunity to show his class!!

[Borussia Wolf]

Hunt will still be on the bench - Valdez and Klasnic will start up front.

[Schwalker]

The problem with Hunt is that he is a Huckerby in disguise...All pace but few finishing skills.

Injury to Werder's Klose not as serious as feared

BERLIN, Jan 26 (Reuters) - Werder Bremen's German international striker Miroslav Klose should be back playing in three weeks after his shoulder injury proved less serious than feared.

Klose, the leading scorer in the Bundesliga and a key member of Germany's World Cup squad, suffered the injury after slipping on an icy pitch in Bremen's 3-1 defeat by St Pauli in the German Cup on Wednesday.


Bremen coach Thomas Schaaf said he could be out for three months but that estimate was revised downwards by the club on Thursday following a scan.

'I'm pleased that he won't need an operation,' Schaaf told reporters.

Klose should now be fit for Bremen's Champions League first leg clash at home to Juventus on Feb. 22.

Bremen, in third place in the Bundesliga eight points behind leaders Bayern Munich, are away to Arminia Bielefeld on Sunday in their first league match back after the long mid-season break.
