Werder Bremen make one change to the side that drew with Hertha Berlin for the visit of Borussia Monchengladbach this afternoon.

Argentinian defender Santiago Garcia, on loan from River Plate, comes into the defence in place of Maximilian Eggestein, with Ulisses Garcia moving up into the midfield.

For the visitors, Roel Brouwers and Havard Nordtveit replace Ibrahima Traore and Julian Korb, with American midfielder Fabian Johnson still ruled out with a calf injury.
