Bremen (AP) - Milot Rashica returns to the Werder Bremen squad for the Augsburg game.

The 24-year-old attacker from Kosovo, who missed the last six Bundesliga games due to a thigh injury, is at least a candidate for a substitute on Saturday (3:30 p.m. / Sky).

Niclas Füllkrug and Davie Selke may even be in the starting XI.

"Both are ready for longer missions," said Werder's football coach Florian Kohfeldt on Thursday.

The storm duo was recently brought back to the team through short missions after a long injury break.

Now the strength should last at least for an hour or a little longer.

"That gives us more options," said Kohfeldt.

Kohfeldt left it open whether the Japanese Yuya Osako will be back in the Bundesliga team.

After the recent poor performance and the public criticism of Osako, Kohfeldt had not called the striker in the 1-1 draw in Leverkusen.

"Yuya did a decent job during the week, we'll see if he's there against Augsburg," said the Bremen coach.

There is also a question mark behind Ludwig Augustinsson's commitment.

The Swedish left-back stopped the session on Wednesday due to muscular problems.

His participation will only be decided at short notice, said Kohfeldt.

Christian Groß, Patrick Erras and Nick Woltemade will definitely be missing.
