Werder Bremen have made two changes to their starting lineup for this afternoon's Bundesliga clash with Nuremberg.
Aleksandar Ignjovski and Polish youngster Martin Kobylanski drop out of the side that beat Hamburger SV 2-0 last weekend, with Mehmet Ekici and Zlatko Junuzovic returning for the hosts.
Nils Petersen keeps his place in attack with Franco di Santo suspended, while Eljero Elia and Aaron Hunt provide support in advanced positions.
Nuremberg also make two changes despite earning a credible 1-1 draw with Borussia Dortmund last time out, with Tomas Pekhart surprisingly picked ahead of Daniel Ginczek in attack.
Bremen: Mielitz, Fritz, Lukimya, Caldirola, Garcia, Makiadi, Junuzovic, Ekici, Elia, Hunt, Petersen
Nuremberg: Schäfer, Chandler, Dabanli, Pogatetz, Plattenhardt, Stark, Hasebe, Esswein, Kiyotake, Hlousek, Pekhart
