The World Cup is entering its decisive phase. For Werder Bremen, it's still unclear whether the players will advance. The season preparation is likely to be affected by this.

What happens to the Werder pros?

Romano Schmid and Marco Friedl still have a chance to advance despite the recent loss to Argentina. While the South Americans have already qualified, the Werder pros and their teammates may not even need a draw against Algeria to advance as one of the eight best group third-placers.

What's the situation for Cedric Itten?

For Werder's new striker Cedric Itten and Switzerland, the situation is more comfortable, with four points on the account, there are only theoretical doubts about advancing to the round of 16.

What's next?

Werder starts training on July 12, and a week later, they'll head to the Zillertal again. The World Cup players will likely miss this trip and only rejoin the team afterwards.
