Fit for Paderborn clash Pieper (undisclosed) has resumed full team training and is expected to be available for Saturday's Bundesliga clash against Paderborn, according to coach Daniel Thioune. "He had so...

Impact Pieper was forced off early during Saturday's 2-2 draw against Borussia Dortmund due to an injury, raising concerns about his availability for the upcoming fixture. However, the defender has recovered quickly after experiencing some discomfort earlier in the week and completed Thursday's training session without restrictions. Manager Daniel Thioune expressed confidence in his availability and indicated that he could return directly to the starting lineup.

Avoids structural muscle damage Pieper (lower back) was forced off during Friday's Bundesliga clash against Dortmund due to discomfort in his gluteal muscles that prevented him from sprinting, but structural dama...

Impact Pieper required treatment inside the opening 20 minutes against Dortmund and initially attempted to continue before being replaced by Oskar Wojcik. However, the initial assessment has ruled out structural damage, suggesting the center-back may have avoided a significant injury. Coach Thioune expects him to resume training Tuesday following two days of recovery, although his availability for Werder Bremen's next Bundesliga fixture will depend on how he responds. Pieper had featured in all four of Werder's opening Bundesliga matches before Friday and remains a regular in coach Thioune's defensive setup.

Impact Pieper is set to be assessed after the thigh problem ended his night early at Signal Iduna Park. He attempted to play on following treatment but could not continue, and the extent of the issue is expected to become clearer once Werder's medical staff examine him. The centre-back had featured in all four of Werder's Bundesliga matches before Friday and is a regular in Daniel Thioune's back line, so a diagnosis carries weight for the side.

OCTOBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to team training Pieper is back with Werder Bremen after returning to training Tuesday, having missed the friendly against Auxerre due to illness, the club posted.

Impact Pieper's return puts him back on track ahead of Saturday's German Cup match at Luneburger SK Hansa, giving the club timely clarity on his availability for that fixture. The 28-year-old defender's illness appears to have been a brief interruption rather than anything more serious given his quick return to full training. Pieper is expected to be in contention for selection this weekend now that he's back working with the group. His timing works out well as Werder finalize their preparations for the cup opener.

AUGUST 19 • ROTOWIRE

Imperious defending in win Pieper generated 10 clearances and one interception in Saturday's 1-0 defeat against Hoffenheim.

Impact Pieper led the 10-man Werder Bremen defensive effort Saturday with 10 clearances in a 1-0 defeat to Hoffenheim. Across his last five appearances (five starts), the central defender has averaged 5.4 clearances and 1.2 blocks per appearance while playing the full 90 minutes in each match. Pieper has now been named to the starting XI in six successive fixtures, following a seven-week injury absence during which he missed nine matches.

MAY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Heart of defensive effort Pieper had one tackle (zero won), four clearances and one interception in Sunday's 3-1 defeat to 1. FC Koln. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 90th minute.

Impact Pieper led a 10-man Werder Bremen side Sunday with four clearances as they fell to FC Koln in a 3-1 home defeat. The central defender's appearance marks his second total and first 90-minute appearance since returning from a nine-match injury absence. IN two appearances (two starts) since returning, Pieper has made nine clearances and three blocks.

APRIL 14 • ROTOWIRE

Starts in defense Pieper (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Koln.

Impact Pieper was hopeful for Sunday and will miss no more time, as the defender returns from an injury to make the starting XI. The defender has started in all 14 appearances this season while notching two clean sheets, likely to remain a starter to end the season.

APRIL 12 • ROTOWIRE

Hopeful for Sunday Pieper (undisclosed) is questionable for Sunday's match against Koln, according to Marius Winklemann of Deich Stube.

Impact Pieper is still recovering from injury but is now eyeing a return Sunday, with the defender optimistic he could play. This would be huge news after he appeared to return too early in the last match, potentially not missing more time. He is a starter when fit, so the club will hope he is ready for that spot, with Niklas Stark (undisclosed) as a potential replacement if he is fit.

APRIL 10 • ROTOWIRE

Will train partially Thursday Pieper (undisclosed) will resume partial team training for the first time Thursday since being forced off against Leipzig, according to the club.

Impact Pieper had only just returned from a two-month knee injury before going off in the 49th minute of the Leipzig clash after landing awkwardly from an aerial duel, making his return to the training pitch a cautiously encouraging sign. He won't yet back in full sessions, but the fact that he is on the pitch at all suggests the issue is not as serious as initially feared. Bremen will manage his workload carefully over the coming days with Sunday's clash against Koln on the horizon, though a return to the starting lineup by then may come too soon given the limited training time available.

APRIL 9 • ROTOWIRE

Forced off injured Pieper was forced off in the second half of Saturday's clash against Leipzig due to an apparent injury, according to Kicker.

Impact Pieper was forced off in the 49th minute of Saturday's clash against Leipzig due to an apparent injury after landing on his back following an aerial duel and will undergo further tests in the coming days to determine the severity of the issue. The center-back had just returned after missing the previous two months with a knee injury, and this potential setback is a significant blow, especially with multiple injuries already affecting the back line.

APRIL 4 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to starting XI Pieper (knee) is available for Saturday's clash against Leipzig and returns directly to the starting lineup, the club posted.

Impact Pieper has been sidelined for nine games with a knee injury, making his return to the starting XI a significant moment for Bremen heading into a crucial fixture. The defender had been one of the team's standout performers before going down, and new head coach Daniel Thioune now gets his first look at one of the club's key pieces in a live match situation. Getting Pieper back and straight into the starting eleven is a major boost for Bremen as they push through the final stretch of the Bundesliga season.

APRIL 4 • ROTOWIRE

Training individually Saturday Pieper is currently training individually and is expected to be gradually reintegrated into full team training soon , according to DeichStube.

Impact Pieper has been sidelined for nine games with a knee injury, but is now making encouraging progress, training individually as he works towards a return to full team training. His expected reintegration into team sessions could make him a candidate for a squad role for the fixture against Leipzig on April 4. Prior to his injury, the defender had been one of the team's standout performers and an undisputed starter, and he will be looking to reclaim that spot once he is fit enough. However, his role upon return will ultimately depend on new head coach Daniel Thioune, who took charge after Pieper's injury and will need to assess him before deciding how to fit him into his plans.

MARCH 28 • ROTOWIRE

Still in rehab, won't train Pieper (knee) is still in rehabilitation and isn't expected to train this week, Sporting Director Peter Niemeyer said to the media, according to BILD. "Amos is still in rehabilitat...

Impact Pieper still has ground to cover before rejoining full team training, as the defender remains in the rehab phase of his recovery from a knee injury that has already sidelined him for the last five matches. A return isn't imminent, with several more weeks likely on the shelf and no expectation of him getting back on the training pitch this week. That's a tough hit for Bremen, considering he's been a steady starter all season and depth along the back line is looking stretched, so until he's cleared, Marco Friedl and Niklas Stark are set to shoulder heavier minutes, while Abdoul-Karim Coulibaly (thigh) will also factor into the rotation once he's fully past his issue.

FEBRUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Set to return in two weeks Pieper (knee) is expected to resume team training in two weeks, according to BILD.

Impact Pieper remains a ways off from returning to the match squad, as he is not expected to resume full team training for at least two more weeks and will still need additional time to rebuild match fitness before being available for selection. The center-back had been a locked-in starter in central defense prior to going down, so his continued absence forces an adjustment along the backline. Julian Malatini has taken on an expanded role in recent matches under new coach Daniel Thioune and should continue to log significant minutes while Pieper works his way back.

FEBRUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Undergoes minor knee surgery Pieper (knee) underwent a minor knee surgery and will miss several weeks, the club announced.

Impact Pieper suffered a knee injury during the game against Leverkusen and needed to undergo a small surgery this week to treat the issue. The defender will be sidelined for several weeks and this is a blow for Bremen who has already been thin in option for his backline. Julian Malatini is expected to see a greater role in the back-three until the injured players return to full fitness.

JANUARY 29 • ROTOWIRE

Out to face Hoffenheim Pieper (knee) is out for Tuesday's match against Hoffenheim.

Impact Pieper was doubtful and has not recovered fitness in time for Tuesday, with the defender still on the sidelines. This is a rough loss for the club and forces a change, with Julian Malatini taking his spot in the starting XI. He will now look to recover when facing Gladbach on Saturday.

JANUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Doubftul against Hoffenheim Pieper (knee) is a doubt for Tuesday's clash against Hoffenheim, coach Horst Steffen said in the press conference. "We will know in a few hours if Amos can play."

Impact Pieper was forced off early during Saturday's clash against Leverkusen due to a knee injury and still has to receive the results of his scans. The defender will be a late call for Tuesday's clash against Hoffenheim and if he had to miss the game, it would be a big blow for the team due to the numerous absences due to injuries or suspensions in the backline. Julian Malatini or Skelly Alvero can be the possible option to start in his spot if he misses out.

JANUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers knee injury Pieper (knee) was forced off injured in the 15th minute of Saturday's clash against Leverkusen, according to Futbol Total.

Impact Pieper suffered a knee injury in the 15th minute of Saturday's clash against Leverkusen and was forced off as he couldn't continue the game. The defender will likely be assessed in the coming days to know the extend of the injury and to know if he has to miss some time. Julian Malatini replaced him against the Werkself and couldn't be set for increased playing time if the injury to Pieper proves to be serious.

JANUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Inks contract extension Pieper signed a contract extension with Werder Bremen, the club announced. "We are delighted to be able to continue our journey together with Amos at Werder. Amos has shown consist...

Impact Pieper joined Bremen from DSC Arminia Bielefeld in the summer of 2022 and will remain with the green and white side longer after signing a contract extension on Friday following three years with the team. The defender has made 68 appearances across all competitions for Bremen and has scored two goals.

NOVEMBER 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Available off bench Pieper (hip) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Freiburg.

Impact Pieper makes the squad for the first time since his hip surgery and will be available off the bench. His return comes at a key moment for Bremen who remain light in defense. He ended last season as a locked-in starter and could be eased back in under new coach Horst Steffen.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Back in team training Pieper (hip) is back in team training on Wednesday, the club announced.

Impact Pieper is back in team training for the first time since undergoing hip surgery. This is positive news for Bremen as the club is short on defenders and Pieper ended last season as an undisputed starter, suggesting he could help the team again once he is ready under new coach Horst Steffen.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Return coming soon Pieper (hip) is hoping to return after the international break, according to manager Horst Steffen. "With the Austrian, just like with Amos, they are available again after the inte...

Impact Pieper has not been available to open the season due to a hip injury, but is nearing his possible return in around two weeks, hopeful to play after the international break in their match against Gladbach on Sept. 14. This is good news as the club is low on defenders, and he could immediately help the team in the back once fit.

AUGUST 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Out for opener Pieper (thigh) is out for an Aug. 23 trip to Frankfurt, the club announced.

Impact Werder is expected to miss the opening match of the pre-season as he heads to the sideline for two-to-three weeks with a thigh issue. He could be back as soon as an Aug. 30 clash with Leverkusen, though he would likely be a depth option there. Marco Friedl and Niklas Stark are expected to pair in central defense for the opening match of the campaign.

AUGUST 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers thigh problems Pieper is suffering from thigh problems and didn't train with the team on Tuesday, the club announced.

Impact Pieper wasn't spotted in team training on Tuesday as he is dealing with thigh issues. This will leave him questionable for this week's DFB Pokal game and the season opener against Frankfurt next Saturday. That said, Pieper wasn't an undisputed starter last season, therefore his potential absence shouldn't impact the starting XI.
