Involved in half of team's goals Bader scored a goal and had an assist while taking two shots (one on goal), crossing once inaccurately and creating a chance during Sunday's 4-2 win over Werder Bremen.

Impact Bader opened the scoring in the fourth minute of the match before setting up Marvin Mehlem in the 50th to play a role in half of Darmstadt's matches. The goal and assist were both the first of the season for the fullback as Bader has started four straight matches after recovering to full fitness at the start of September.

Not yet training Bader (undisclosed) has yet to join team training, according to manager Torsten Lieberknecht.

Impact Bader hasn't made a return to training before Saturday's DFB Pokal clash. While he wasn't ruled out for the Bundesliga opener, an Aug. 20 trip to Frankfurt, no training time this close to the season start isn't a good sign. Bader would need to return to training Monday to truly contend for a substantial role against Frankfurt on Sunday.
