Misses training Bittencourt was not in training with Werder Bremen on Thursday due to a heel issue.

Impact Bittencourt played 75 minutes and scored in last weekend's Bundesliga opener against Wolfsburg, but he has picked up a knock on his heel and will be questionable for Saturday's clash against Stuttgart. Romano Schmid (illness) could replace him in central midfield for the game if necessary.

Scores in draw Bittencourt (strain) scored a goal off three shots (two on target), created one chance and made two interceptions during Saturday's 2-2 draw against Wolfsburg.

Impact Bittencourt was questionable for the season opener but was fit to be inserted into the starting XI. And his Bundesliga return ended up being great as he scored his side's second goal with a well-placed header in the 23rd minute and was involved in the build-up of other dangerous plays. The midfielder is expected to be one of Werder's top fantasy performers this season and will try to keep it up during next Saturday's home clash against Stuttgart.

Starting against Wolfsburg Bittencourt is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash with Wolfsburg.

Impact Bittencourt is in the starting XI on Saturday after making his way back into the first team following a muscular strain in the DFB Pokal clash with Energie Cottbus. Bittencourt figures to be a nailed-on starter throughout the 2022/23 Bundesliga campaign barring injury.

AUGUST 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Gets all clear Bittencourt should return to training ahead of Saturday's trip to Wolfsburg after avoiding a muscular injury in Monday's DFB Pokal win over Energie Cottbus.

Impact Bittencourt had been substituted early in the cup match but following evaluations from the doctor, he's been cleared to return when ready. He played in 22 matches last season, scoring two goals and logging four assists. Based on his past experience in the top tier, Bittencourt should be a reliable presence if fit, even if his value isn't extraordinary.
