Cedric Itten - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Available for Dortmund clash Itten (foot) appears to be an option for Friday's clash against Borussia Dortmund after being left off coach Daniel Thioune's latest injury report.

Impact Itten appears to have recovered from the foot knock that forced him to miss Switzerland's Nations League clash against Slovenia, with his absence from Thioune's latest injury update suggesting he's available for selection. The striker had been expected to resume full training during the international break after the issue was deemed relatively minor. He should now be in contention for Friday's matchup against Dortmund, though his exact role will depend on coach Thioune's lineup decisions.

Set to resume training Itten is expected to return to full training with Switzerland on Monday after missing Saturday's Nations League clash against Slovenia due to a foot knock, according to the club.

Impact Itten picked up the issue during Switzerland training but appears to have avoided a significant injury, with his return to regular work expected after just one missed match. The striker could therefore still be available for Switzerland's remaining international fixture if he progresses as planned. His quick return would also ease concerns over his availability for Werder Bremen following the international break.

Impact Itten could have a chance to avoid significant consequences from a knock he suffered while representing his national team and aim to return to action before club activity resumes. However, he's currently relegated to a substitute role for both Werder Bremen and Switzerland, totaling 54 minutes of play in the current Bundesliga season. That might remain his role even if he makes a quick recovery, with Niclas Fullkrug still favored over him.

Signs for Werder Bremen Itten has joined Werder Bremen on a free transfer from Fortuna Dusseldorf, the club announced.

Impact Itten is currently with the national team at the World Cup, bringing 16 caps and five goals for his country along with experience gained at FC Basel, Lucerne, St. Gallen, Glasgow Rangers, Greuther Furth and Young Boys Bern before his move to Dusseldorf, where he scored 16 goals in 32 competitive appearances. Sporting director Peter Niemeyer praised his experience and the qualities he can add to the squad, while head coach Daniel Thioune, who previously worked with Itten in Dusseldorf, described him as a physically robust penalty-box striker who knows where the goal is. Itten expressed his excitement at joining a club with a great tradition, citing his prior relationship with Thioune as a key factor in his decision.
