SV Werder Bremen will have to do without attacker Marvin Ducksch in the DFB Cup game at SC Paderborn on Wednesday evening. The 28-year-old was suspended by coach Ole Werner for the away game at the Bundesliga relegated team for disciplinary reasons. Now the reasons should be known.
It was great news for SV Werder Bremen fans before the cup game at SC Paderborn. Coach Ole Werner throws attacker Marvin Ducksch out of the squad for disciplinary reasons. Actually, the message should remain secret, but the story came out and the picture reported.
So the club immediately followed suit and made the suspension of the 28-year-old official. In the meantime, more and more details are leaking out as to why Ole Werner made this logical decision and thus accepts a weakening of the team.
According to information from the Deichstube, Ducksch celebrated extensively in the Bremen disco "La Viva" on Sunday night and therefore overslept and missed important Werder dates. In addition, the Werder team had recently tightened the corona measures to protect the team, as some Bundesliga competitors had increased cases again.
"In the future we will be moving in our bubble again. We are trying to reduce the risk of infection for the players as much as possible. We want to be extremely careful, especially in closed rooms," said Clemens Fritz, head of professional football.
Marvin Ducksch and his fellow striker Oliver Burke probably didn't care and decided to visit the Bremen disco after the 2-0 defeat against FSV Mainz 05. While the Scot appeared punctually at the Weser Stadium the next morning, Ducksch arrived with a considerable delay and is said to have been very battered from the party night.
"We can only be successful as a team if everyone sticks to the rules," explained Werder coach Werner on Tuesday evening in a press release from the club and, together with his coaching team and the sporting management, drew consequences and suspended Ducksch for the upcoming cup game.
Frank Baumann, sports director at Werder, did not want to comment on the new information. In addition to the suspension, Marvin Ducksch was also fined - but by the team. However, the squad ban only applies to the cup game. Ducksch should return at the weekend against SC Freiburg.
