Marco Grull - Decent off bench Grull scored six goals and added one assist during 1,178 minutes in the Bundesliga.

Impact Grull's first season in the Bundesliga was decent, he contributed to seven goals and made 30 appearances. The forward was a big part of the squad throughout the campaign. He should continue in a large role, and with the departure of Oliver Burke, he may even compete for starting minutes next season.

Amos Pieper - Solid contributor Pieper made 23 appearances (16 starts) in the Bundesliga.

Impact Pieper totaled 1,500 minutes in the Bundesliga playing a sizeable role, though largely as a depth option. The center-back was a locked-in starter to close the season though, a good sign for his role in the coming season.

Senne Lynen - Limited offensively Lynen made 32 starts but provided just a single assist during his second season in Bremen.

Impact Lynen was excellent in his debut campaign in the Bundesliga and was expected to build on that offense this season. While his minutes and role were solid the production just wasn't there for Lynen. He struggled for impact and created just eight chances. Lynen will likely remain a key starter, but may not offer much offensively barring a change in system.

Marco Friedl - Consistent contributor Friedl made 26 appearances (25 starts) in the Bundesliga, keeping eight clean sheets.

Impact Friedl was excellent in the backline, and remains the anchor across Bremen's time in the Bundesliga. He was a rock-solid contributor and put together a nearly identical campaign to last season. Frieldl will remain one of the most important players in the squad next season.

Mitchell Weiser - Brilliant again Weiser scored five times and added eight assists during 32 Bundesliga starts.

Impact Weiser has been brilliant since making the switch to Bremen after struggling for minutes in Leverkusen. He set new career-highs across the board during this season, with 13 goal contributions and 42 chances created. It was a season to remember for the wing-back who will hope to continue on this form in the coming campaign.

Jens Stage - Career-year in attack Stage scored 10 times and added five assists in 28 appearances (26 starts) in the Bundesliga.

Impact Stage put together a brilliant career-year offensively, piling on the goal contributions and maintaining a constant role in the starting XI. The midfielder was brilliant throughout and has likely made himself invaluable to the Bremen side moving forward. That said it's unlikely Stage can replicate this level of production with his previous career-high being six goal contributions.

Skelly Alvero - Hampered by injury Alvero made just 12 appearances (one start) for Bremen.

Impact Alvero was hampered by a variety of injuries and was a depth option at best when fit. The midfielder failed to really accomplish much throughout the campaign and ended with just 231 minutes. Alvero will hope to impress in pre-season with the hopes of earning more minutes next season.

Derrick Kohn - Future uncertain Kohn's future is uncertain as Werder negotiates to make his move permanent.

Impact Kohn was a solid a loan option in Bremen, he scored and assisted twice while adding 27 appearances (14 starts.) The hope had been he would be a consistent starter on the right wing, but the good form of Felix Agu meant minutes were hard to come by for Kohn. Werder has until July 1 to negotiate a move before Kohn returns to Galatasaray.

Issa Kabore - Not playing Saturday Kabore (arm) is out for Saturday's game against Heidenheim.

Impact Kabore will miss the final match of the season, but that isn't surprising since his last appearance came on March 15 before the international break. Kabore is on loan at Bremen from Manchester City, so he'll return to the Premier League giants in the summer. He made nine appearances (three starts) for Bremen in the 2024-25 season.

Oliver Burke - Doesn't train Tuesday Burke was absent from training Tuesday due to an injury he suffered in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Leipzig, accoridng to his club.

Impact Burke could be seeing his tenure with Bremen ending early, as he is now dealing with an injury just after it was announced that he is leaving the club after the season. The good news is the injury has been deemed minor, leaving him to possibly train Wednesday. He has started in all but one of their games since the start of March, so this would force a change if he misses out, with Justin Njinmah as a possible replacement.

MAY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Michael Zetterer - Suffered injury against Leipzig Zetterer suffered an injury during Saturday's 0-0 draw against Leipzig and didn't train Tuesday, accoridng to his club.

Impact Zetterer is going to be a question mark for the weekend, with the goalie having suffered an injury during the club's most recent match. This most likely will be deemed a muscle injury after he was able to play the full 90, leaving his absence Tuesday as a possible precaution. This will be something to monitor, as he is their regular starter, with Mio Backhaus or Spyros Angelidis as possible replacements.
