Mitchell Weiser - Returns to full team training Weiser (knee) is now fully integrated into team training without workload restrictions following his ACL tear and meniscus injury, according to coach Daniel Thioune, per DeichStube...

Impact Weiser has progressed from modified work to full participation, though manager Daniel Thioune believes he still needs one or two complete weeks of training before returning to the matchday squad. The upcoming clash with Koln is therefore expected to come too soon, while a return against Augsburg before the international break is considered possible. Weiser should primarily provide competition out wide once available, though Thioune has also tested him in central midfield, potentially adding another route to playing time.

Eren Dinkci - Exits with leg issue Dinkci was forced off with an apparent right leg issue during Saturday's 3-1 win over RB Leipzig after scoring the opening goal.

Impact Dinkci made an immediate impact in his first appearance since returning to Werder Bremen, opening the scoring before being forced off with just over 20 minutes remaining. The winger appeared to feel discomfort around his right knee and thigh following a cross and was seen limping slightly as he left the pitch. The severity of the problem remains unclear, and further assessment should determine whether the issue will affect his availability moving forward.

Senne Lynen - Not available Saturday Lynen (undisclosed) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Leipzig.

Impact Lynen has been unable to pass his late fitness test despite coach Daniel Thioune expressing optimism about his involvement and keeping him off the absentee list following the uncertainty that emerged after his substitution at Freiburg. The midfielder had only recently returned from the abdominal muscle issue that had kept him out of the final preseason friendly, and Bremen ultimately decided against risking him for the Leipzig fixture. He recorded 63 tackles, 78 interceptions and 96 clearances across 31 starts last season, making his absence a notable concern for a side that relies heavily on his defensive contribution in the middle of the park.

Niklas Stark - Option against Leipzig Stark (strain) is an option for Saturday's clash against Leipzig, according to the club.

Impact Stark had missed the Bundesliga opener against Freiburg after being unable to take part in the final training session due to a muscular issue, with Marco Friedl and Amos Pieper starting together in central defense in his absence. His return to availability now gives Werder Bremen another option in defense heading into this match.

Impact Lynen had recently returned from an abdominal muscle issue that kept him out of the final preseason friendly, starting in the cup match before this latest question mark emerged. He remains a valuable defensive presence when available, having recorded 63 tackles, 78 interceptions and 96 clearances across 31 starts last season, and his status will continue to be assessed as Bremen approaches the match.

Justin Njinmah - 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.

Arthur - Heads to Bremen on loan Arthur has joined Werder Bremen on loan from Bayer Leverkusen for the 2026-27 season, the club announced.

Impact Arthur moves to Bremen for playing time after being frozen out at Leverkusen, where he sat on the bench for all 90 minutes at Elversberg and watched Lucas Vazquez handle right back in the season opener. The arrival of reported signing Guela Doue, plus Jarrel Quansah's ability to fill in there, left him without a route to minutes. He brings 64 competitive appearances for Leverkusen including 13 in the Champions League, and Werder's shortage at right back means he should start regularly once he settles.

Mick Schmetgens - Starts on Sunday Schmetgens generated two crosses (zero accurate) and one tackle in Sunday's 4-1 defeat versus SC Freiburg.

Impact Schmetgens recorded two clearances and made 29 passes and was part of the defense that conceded four. This was his first even start in the Bundesliga as he had only two appearances, both off the bench in the last campaign.

Marco Grull - Sets up goal on Sunday Grull assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), eight crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Sunday's 4-1 defeat against SC Freiburg.

Impact Grull set up Dariusz Stalmach's consolation with a well taken corner in the 76th minute. Grull registered the most crosses in the game, created two chances and also made four tackles, one clearance, one interception and one block. He has now assisted in the opening game for two seasons in a row and coincidentally, Bremen have lost both games 4-1.

SEPTEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Dariusz Stalmach - Nets header on Sunday Stalmach scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 4-1 defeat versus SC Freiburg.

Impact Stalmach replaced Senne Lynen at halftime and netted in the 76th minute from a corner taken by Marco Grull, but the goal came too late and ended up being a consolation. Stalmach recorded 19 passes and also made four tackles and three clearances. This was also his a debut goal for Bremen.

Karl Hein - Concedes four Hein had one save and allowed four goals in Sunday's 4-1 defeat against SC Freiburg.

Impact Hein recorded one save and one clearance, but conceded four in the opening game of the campaign and was unable to do anything definitive for all the goals. Next week, he takes on RB Leipzig.

Youri Regeer - Loaned to Werder Bremen Regeer has joined Werder Bremen on loan through the end of the season from Ajax, according to the club. Sporting Director Niemeyer said "We have been watching Youri for a while and...

Impact Regeer made over 30 appearances for Ajax across league and international competition last season, having come through the club's academy before a spell at FC Twente between 2023 and 2025. The 23 year old Dutch midfielder, a former youth international, now gets a fresh opportunity for regular playing time in the Bundesliga.

Niklas Stark - Ruled out for opener Stark (strain) is unavailable for Sunday's Bundesliga opener against Freiburg.

Impact Stark misses the opening match after being unable to take part in Werder's final team training session due to the muscular issue. The center-back had been working individually as the club attempted to manage the problem but hasn't recovered sufficiently to make the squad. Marco Friedl and Amos Pieper start together in central defense in his absence, leaving Stark to focus on returning to contention for the upcoming fixtures.

Jens Stage - Out for several months Stage will be sidelined for several months after suffering a serious thigh muscle injury during Werder Bremen's final training session ahead of Sunday's clash against Freiburg, acc...

Impact Stage was forced to leave Saturday's final training session after experiencing discomfort in his thigh, with subsequent examinations confirming a serious muscle injury. The midfielder is expected to miss several months, with coach Daniel Thioune indicating that Stage is unlikely to return before the end of the calendar year. His extended absence represents a major blow after he scored 10 Bundesliga goals last season, while Ludovit Reis and Chuki should take on increased roles in midfield during his absence.

AUGUST 30 • ROTOWIRE

Dariusz Stalmach - Returns to bench for opener Stalmach (shoulder) is available from the bench for Sunday's Bundesliga opener against Freiburg.

Impact Stalmach returns to the matchday squad after recovering from the acromioclavicular joint injury he suffered during a preseason friendly against Energie Cottbus earlier in August. The midfielder had only recently progressed to partial team training, so a place on the bench represents a positive step in his recovery. The 20-year-old could see limited minutes initially as he rebuilds match sharpness, but his return gives Werder another young option in central midfield as the season gets underway.

Niklas Stark - Doubtful for opener Stark (strain) missed SV Werder Bremen's final team training session ahead of Sunday's match against SC Freiburg and is a doubt for the league opener aginst Freiburg, according to...

Impact Stark has continued to deal with recurring hip problems and was unable to complete team training ahead of Sunday's match against SC Freiburg, instead working individually indoors for load management. His availability for the squad remains uncertain, with his response to the individual work and a late assessment likely to determine whether he can be involved. Marco Friedl and Amos Pieper are expected to form the center-back partnership if Stark is unavailable.

AUGUST 29 • ROTOWIRE

Jens Stage - Doubtful for opener with thigh issue Stage stopped training early Friday due to a thigh issue, leaving him questionable for Sunday's season opener against SC Freiburg, according to DeichStube.

Impact Stage's involvement on the opening weekend is now in question after he stopped training roughly halfway through Bremen's final session before Sunday's clash with Freiburg. He reacted to discomfort in his thigh and knee area following passing and shooting work, needed treatment on the pitch, and was carried off on a golf cart. Whether it's a minor knock or something more serious hasn't been confirmed, leaving his fitness for the season opener up in the air until the club provides further clarity.

Frankfurt signs goalkeeper Noah Atubolu from Freiburg as the Bundesliga season starts

Eintracht Frankfurt has signed German goalkeeper Noah Atubolu from Freiburg on the day the new Bundesliga season gets underway

AUGUST 28 • Associated Press

Eren Dinkci - Option for opener Dinkci (thigh) has rejoined full team training in recent days and is an option for the team, according to coach Daniel Thioune.

Impact Dinkci had missed last week's cup match due to muscular problems, and his return to full training now positions him for a possible role off the bench in Sunday's match at Freiburg, his former club. Manager Thioune's comments suggest a cautious reintegration rather than an immediate starting role as Bremen manages his return.

Eren Dinkci - Completes full training session Dinkci completed Wednesday's full team training session after around two weeks on the sidelines with muscular problems, the club announced.

Impact Dinkci had been limited to individual work for roughly two weeks but has now completed a full session without an apparent setback, putting him in contention for Sunday's trip to Freiburg. Coach Daniel Thioune previously indicated the winger could return to the squad if he successfully resumed team training, and Wednesday's progress puts him on track to potentially face his former club. His involvement should become clearer following the remaining sessions this week.
