Leonardo Bittencourt - Should be available Sunday Bittencourt (strain) was back in team training this week and should be an option for Sunday's clash against St. Pauli since he wasn't listed in the injury report, according to the...

Impact Bittencourt has battled through multiple injury setbacks this season and is once again a question mark, but he returned to full team training this week and should be in the mix for Sunday's showdown against St. Pauli after avoiding the injury report. The veteran midfielder has mostly operated as a depth piece this year, coming off the bench to provide energy and control in the middle of the park. Once he is fully up to speed, he is expected to slide back into that reserve role rather than push for a starting spot.

Niklas Stark - Finds starting role Stark (hip) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash against Bayern.

Impact Stark finds a starting role for Saturday's clash against Bayern after missing time since 2025 due to a hip injury. The defender completed the necessary testing and returns directly to the starting XI despite having started only three of his seven appearances this season. His inclusion adds immediate depth and reinforcement to the backline.

Niklas Stark - Could be option Stark (hip) appears to be an option for Saturday's match against Bayern Munich, according to manager Daniel Thioune.

Impact Stark is working towards a return Saturday after not playing since 2025 due to a hip injury, appearing to just need to pass some testing. This would be an addition of depth to the squad, starting in only three of his seven appearances this season. That said, a return to the bench is likely once fit.

Werder Bremen vs Bayern Munich Prediction and Betting Tips | February 14th 2026 Werder Bremen and Bayern Munich will battle for three points in a Bundesliga round 22 clash on Saturday (February 14th). The game will be played at Weserstadion.

Leonardo Bittencourt - Back on injury list Bittencourt is out for Saturday's match against BayernMunich due to a strain, according to his club.

Impact Bittencourt was back on the bench and went unused last match after returning from an injury, with the midfielder now dealing with a strain. Luckily for the club, this is a minor loss, only appearing in eight games (one start). He will look for a quick turnaround again, with their next contest in a week against St. Pauli.

Mitchell Weiser - Trains on grass Wednesday Weiser (knee) was back on the grass for individual training Wednesday, as he shared on his Instagram.

Impact Weiser returned to the training pitch for individual work for the first time since tearing his ACL in July. The midfielder still faces several weeks, potentially months, before he is back in the mix for Bremen, but getting back on the grass marks a significant step in his recovery process. He was an undisputed starter on the right flank last season and is expected to battle for a similar role once fully fit, with a projected return to competition around early April.

Maximilian Wober - Still several weeks away Wober suffered a calf injury that revealed to be more significant than expected and will miss several more weeks to recover, according to BILD.

Impact Wober is off the board for now and is expected to miss several more weeks as he works back from a calf injury that turned out to be more serious than initially anticipated. The defender just can't seem to shake the injury bug this season and remains stuck in recovery mode. That said, he mostly operated as a depth piece off the bench for Bremen last campaign, so his absence does not change the starting XI.

Julian Malatini - Sees starter role in backline Malatini has started the last three games for Bremen, contributing four tackles and 18 clearances.

Impact Malatini has locked down a starting spot in Bremen's backline over the last three games, stepping up amid a wave of injuries across the defensive unit. He has benefited from Niklas Stark (undisclosed) working his way back, while Maximilian Wober (hamstring) remains sidelined due to injury and Amos Pieper (knee) continues his recovery. Until the depth chart gets healthier, Malatini looks set to keep logging meaningful minutes on the back end.

FEBRUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Amos Pieper - 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

Olivier Deman - Available following knock Deman (knock) is training with the team this week after suffering a knock in Saturday's loss against Freiburg, the club announced.

Impact Deman took a knock to the shin during Saturday's clash with Freiburg but avoided any injury and is back in full team training Tuesday. The midfielder has been a regular starter of late largely because Felix Agu was sidelined with an injury. With Agu now back in the mix, Deman could see his minutes scaled back for Bremen.

FEBRUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Niklas Stark - Could resume team training soon Stark (undisclosed) is expected to resume team training this week, according to the club.

Impact Stark remained limited to indoor work Tuesday morning but is expected to rejoin team training in the coming days. This is an encouraging sign for Bremen since he was a locked-in starter at the back last season and should firmly push for a meaningful role once he is fully fit again.

Yukinari Sugawara - 11 crosses in away loss Sugawara recorded one shot (zero on goal), 11 crosses (three accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 1-0 defeat versus SC Freiburg.

Impact Sugawara attempted 11 crosses but was unable to provide an assist as his side fell to a 1-0 defeat to Freiburg. This is the first time this season he has attempted more than 10 crosses in a game and only the second time this year he has attempted more than five crosses in the Bundesliga.

FEBRUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Romano Schmid - 10 crosses in away defeat Schmid recorded two shots (two on goal), 10 crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 1-0 defeat to SC Freiburg.

Impact Schmid took two shots, got both on target and attempted 10 crosses, but was unable to help his team to a goal. This is the first time since November that he put two shots on target. He has also had two or more chances created for each of the last five games. This is the fourth team this season that he has taken at least 10 crosses, although he has completed only one, the fewest he has completed when he has taken more than seven crosses.

FEBRUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Keke Topp - Five shots without any on target Topp had five shots (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 1-0 loss to SC Freiburg.

Impact Topp earned a start after scoring off the bench in the final minutes in the previous game. This was his fifth start of the season and 16th appearance. This was the first time he had taken more than two shots in a game, and he took five. In total, he has only managed two shots on target this season.

FEBRUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Mio Backhaus - One save in 1-0 defeat Backhaus had one save and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-0 loss versus SC Freiburg.

Impact Backhaus conceded as his side fell to a 1-0 defeat to Freiburg. He has kept three clean sheets this season in 19 games, but hasn't managed to keep one in the last six games. In the last three games he has only made one save, conceding four goals in the process.
