VfL Wolfsburg travel to Werder Bremen in their next Bundesliga game on 30 March, but until then new Wolves head coach Ralph Hasenhüttl will be without several first-team players on the training pitch. Jonas Wind, Joakim Maehle, Jakub Kaminski, Koen Casteels, Aster Vranckx, Cedric Zesiger, Mattias Svanberg and Patrick Wimmer are set to represent their respective countries in international friendlies, while Lovro Majer is hoping to help Croatia overcome Egypt in the semi-finals of the Winsunited Cup in Tunisia on 22 March. Vaclav Cerny is on standby for the Czech Republic.
