Impact Njinmah has taken another step forward in his recovery from a serious thigh injury after previously being limited to individual exercises on the pitch. The forward had recently progressed to sprinting, passing and shooting drills before rejoining portions of team training this week. However, he has yet to regain sufficient fitness for competitive action and will remain outside Bremen's matchday squad against Mainz. No definitive return date has been established, although his progress suggests he is moving closer to a comeback if he avoids further setbacks.

Making progress in recovery Njinmah (thigh) has resumed individual work on the pitch and is making encouraging progress in his rehabilitation from a serious muscular injury, according to DeichStube.

Impact Njinmah has taken a significant step forward roughly four weeks after suffering the thigh injury, completing sprints alongside passing and shooting exercises during his individual session Monday. He has yet to rejoin team training, and Werder Bremen intends to remain cautious with his workload despite the progress. There is still no firm return date, though the forward could potentially return to competitive action before the end of 2026 if his recovery continues without setbacks.

SEPTEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Out for multiple months Njinmah (thigh) will be sidelined for multiple months after an MRI confirmed a muscular injury, the club announced.

Impact Njinmah is facing an extended spell on the sidelines after suffering the thigh injury, with reports suggesting an absence of at least two months. The setback is a significant blow for Bremen, as the winger was the club's second-leading scorer with five goals last season, behind only Jens Stage's 10. With both players now unavailable, Bremen will have to turn to other attacking options for much of the first half of the campaign.

Misfires in defeat Njinmah recorded six shots (one on goal) and one cross (one accurate) in Saturday's 1-0 defeat against Hoffenheim. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 88th minute.

Impact Njinmah led the Werder Bremen attack Saturday with six shots but managed just one on target in a 1-0 home defeat to Hoffenheim. The forward's bevy of shots marked a season high for a single appearance. Over his last five appearances (three starts) Njinmah has created two chances and averaged one shot on goal per appearance.

Available off bench Njinmah (undisclosed) is on the bench for Sunday's trip to Stuttgart.

Impact Njinmah returns to the bench for Sunday's trip after overcoming a knock that kept him out of training Thursday. The fact that he's available is a good sign that the knock isn't a serious one, but he does give up his spot in the starting XI. He will likely be back in the XI for a Saturday clash with Augsburg.

Fitness doubt for Stuttgart clash Njinmah (undisclosed) was unable to train with the team Thursday and is a doubt for Sunday's clash against Stuttgart, according to coach Daniel Thioune. "Justin was not able to tra...

Impact Njinmah's potential absence could not come at a worse time for Bremen given that Marco Grull is already suspended, leaving the attack significantly depleted heading into the Stuttgart fixture. The 25-year-old forward is an important piece of Bremen's counter-attacking setup when fit, and coach Thioune will monitor his progress closely in Friday and Saturday's sessions before making his call. Samuel Mbangula is expected to step in if Njinmah cannot be cleared in time for Sunday.

APRIL 24 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Sunday Njinmah (thigh) is in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Koln.

Impact Njinmah is back fit as expected Sunday, with the forward fit enough to find the starting XI immediately. This is huge news for the club, as they gain back a forward who started in two straight games. He will look to continue in that role, notching five goals in 28 appearances (19 starts) this season.

APRIL 12 • ROTOWIRE

Could be available Njinmah (thigh) could be available for Sunday's clash against Koln after interrupting training earlier in the week due to injury, according to coach Daniel Thioune. "They have good...

Impact Njinmah had been forced to cut short training sessions midweek due to a thigh injury, raising some concern over his availability for the weekend. The positive assessment from coach Thioune suggests the issue is not serious, and the upcoming medical session should provide a clearer picture on whether he will be in the squad against Koln as Bremen look to pick up vital points in their relegation battle. If he can't make the squad, Jovan Milosevic is expected to get a larger role.

APRIL 10 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers injury in training Njinmah suffered a left thigh injury and was forced to stop training Wednesday, leaving him doubtful for Sunday's clash against Koln, the club announced.

Impact Njinmah was forced to leave training early Wednesday due to a possible left thigh injury and is now a doubt for Sunday's clash against Koln. The forward will undergo further tests in the coming days to determine the severity of the issue. The German had started the last two matches, so his potential absence could be a blow, with Jovan Milosevic expected to see increased minutes if he is ruled out.

APRIL 8 • ROTOWIRE

Has game's only goal Njinmah scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-0 victory over Wolfsburg.

Impact Njinmah was the difference in this contest, getting three important points for his side. However, he didn't put up too many shots and could have trouble operating in space against RB Leipzig, a team which has only conceded 35 times in Bundesliga games this season.

MARCH 22 • ROTOWIRE

Takes four shots in loss Njinmah had four off-target shots and created two chances during Saturday's 1-0 loss against Bayer Leverkusen.

Impact Njinmah was Werder's most dangerous outlet, consistently getting into threatening positions and nearly changing the match with a header that struck the far post late in the first half. That near miss highlights both his upside and his volatility, as his fantasy value is driven by open-play aggression rather than stable peripheral production. A starter in each of the last five league games, the forward will hope it translates into more goals sooner as he just have four over 17 appearances this season.

Scores club's first goal of match Njinmah scored one goal to go with five shots (one on goal) in Friday's 3-3 draw against Eintracht Frankfurt.

Impact Njinmah stopped a three-match scoreless streak Friday with a goal in the 29th minute. This gives the forward his fourth goal of the season, although he has yet to bag an assist. He has started in four straight games, with 10 starts in 16 appearances.

Impact Njinmah opened the season with a goal during Saturday's clash, though he was the most threatening option throughout the match, at least on the Werder side. The striker has plenty of upside but the team around him doesn't have the most attacking talent, which could limit his attack. Njinmah should continue in a large role for the foreseeable future.

Impact Njinmah suffered a muscle injury in a warm-up match for the season, but it was revealed to be only minor as he was already back in team training on Tuesday.
