Justin Njinmah - Making progress in recovery Njinmah (thigh) has resumed individual work on the pitch and is making encouraging progress in his rehabilitation from a serious muscular injury, according to DeichStube.

Impact Njinmah has taken a significant step forward roughly four weeks after suffering the thigh injury, completing sprints alongside passing and shooting exercises during his individual session Monday. He has yet to rejoin team training, and Werder Bremen intends to remain cautious with his workload despite the progress. There is still no firm return date, though the forward could potentially return to competitive action before the end of 2026 if his recovery continues without setbacks.

Senne Lynen - Remains sidelined with pelvic issue Lynen (pelvis) remains unavailable due to ongoing pelvic problems and has yet to return to regular team training, according to the club.

Impact Lynen continues to deal with the pelvic issue after initially hoping to use the international break to work his way back toward full training. The midfielder is currently listed among Werder Bremen's long-term absentees, and his continued discomfort has delayed his recovery. There is currently no clear timetable for his return to team training or competitive action.

Felix Agu - Returns to team training Agu (calf) returned to team training Sunday after spending more than five months without a competitive appearance, according to the club.

Impact Agu has reached an important stage in his recovery from the muscular calf injury and will gradually increase his workload throughout the international break. His lengthy absence means his return will likely continue to be managed carefully as he rebuilds match fitness. If his recovery continues as planned, the full-back could return to the matchday squad against Borussia Dortmund on Oct. 9.

BEAUTIFUL Comeback! | WERDER BREMEN - FC AUGSBURG | Highlights | Matchday 4 – Bundesliga 2026/27

SEPTEMBER 20 • YOUTUBE

Mitchell Weiser - Scores late winner off the bench Weiser scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 3-2 victory over FC Augsburg.

Impact Weiser was the difference for Werder Bremen at the end, scoring the winning goal in stoppage time. The midfielder could be called upon to provide a spark off the bench again when the club faces league leaders Borussia Dortmund after the break, but it's a tough matchup. Dortmund have only given up two goals across four Bundesliga matches.

SEPTEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Niclas Fullkrug - Scores in win Fullkrug scored one goal to go with six shots (three on goal) and three chances created in Saturday's 3-2 win versus FC Augsburg.

Impact A goal for Fullkrug seemed inevitable in this high-scoring affair as he put up six shots and created three more chances. The forward has a tough matchup after the break against Borussia Dortmund, but he could break a defense which has only given up two goals if he maintains this combination of volume and efficiency.

SEPTEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Marco Grull - Tallies goal, assist in win Grull scored one goal and assisted once from two shots and three chances created in Saturday's 3-2 win over FC Augsburg. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 60th minute.

Impact Grull was the focal point of Werder Bremen's attack, creating three chances in a strong overall effort. The forward will likely need more volume if he wants to add a goal to his ledger against Borussia Dortmund, a side that has only conceded twice so far this season.

SEPTEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Karl Hein - Allows two goals Hein had two saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 3-2 victory over FC Augsburg.

Impact Hein was fortunate his teammates stepped up offensively as he didn't stop much in this contest. He's got a tough matchup in the next contest against league leaders Borussia Dortmund, a side that has scored nine goals in four games.

SEPTEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Senne Lynen - Ruled out against Augsburg Lynen (hip) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Augsburg.

Impact Lynen has been unable to earn a place in the matchday squad after the final training session failed to provide sufficient confidence for coach Daniel Thioune to include him, with the hip issue having limited him to sporadic training in recent days following absences from the last two Bundesliga matches against RB Leipzig and Koln. Thioune had already made clear he was not in contention for a starting role, viewing the international break as the real opportunity for him to build back toward full fitness.

SEPTEMBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

Moussa N’Diaye - Ruled out indefinitely N'Diaye (groin) is ruled out for the time being due to injury, according to coach Daniel Thioune.

Impact N'Diaye had missed the recent match against Koln due to groin problems, with no clear timeline given for his return at the time. His continued absence extends that layoff further, and his path back into training will be worth monitoring as Werder Bremen's season continues.

SEPTEMBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Senne Lynen - Late fitness call against Augsburg Lynen (hip) will play only a minor role, if any, in Saturday's clash against Augsburg if he answer the late fitness call, according to coach Daniel Thioune. "Senne will only play a...

Impact Lynen had recently returned to team training after missing the previous two Bundesliga matches against RB Leipzig and Koln, but manager Thioune's comments make clear that any involvement against Augsburg would be limited at best, with the international break instead viewed as the real opportunity for him to build back toward full fitness.

SEPTEMBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Felix Agu - Targeting post-break return Agu (calf) is expected to return to contention following the October international break as he continues his recovery from a muscular injury, according to BILD.

Impact Agu hasn't made a competitive appearance in more than five months after his recovery was most recently interrupted by a calf injury. Bremen remains cautious about establishing an exact return date, but the extended international break should give the full-back enough time to complete the final stages of his recovery. Agu could make his return to the matchday squad against Borussia Dortmund on Oct. 9 if his rehabilitation continues without setbacks.

SEPTEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Senne Lynen - Returns to team training Lynen (pelvis) returned to team training Tuesday after missing the previous two Bundesliga matches against RB Leipzig and Koln, according to the club.

Impact Lynen is back with the group after recovering from the pelvic issue that followed an abdominal injury during preseason. His return puts him in contention for the upcoming clash against Augsburg, though an immediate return to the starting XI isn't guaranteed after Bremen performed well during his absence. The midfielder may initially have to settle for a reduced role while working to regain his place in the lineup.

SEPTEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Karl Hein - Five saves for draw Hein recorded five saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus 1. FC Koln.

Impact Hein stopped five of the six shots he faced during Saturday's draw. It was a brilliant showing from the goalkeeper, who did everything asked of him and more to even earn the draw. Hein will be busy throughout this campaign as Werder try to cope with a likely lackluster defensive unit.

SEPTEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Marco Grull - Four crosses in Saturday Grull had two shots (zero on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 1-1 draw against 1. FC Koln.

Impact Grull sent in four crosses during Saturday's draw. The forward didn't create a chance during the clash, but he was excellent in open play and had a role on set-pieces. That gives Grull a decent floor, though Werder might not be the most impressive offensive team throughout this campaign.

SEPTEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Niclas Fullkrug - Nets in draw Fullkrug scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 1-1 draw against 1. FC Koln.

Impact Fullkrug scored once during Saturday's draw, a nice showing for the forward who is back in a key role with Werder. He picked up like he never left, starting the season with an excellent goal. Fullkrug should be a key part of the attack throughout this campaign in the top flight.

SEPTEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Mitchell Weiser - Back on bench Weiser (knee) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Koln.

Impact Weiser is finally back in the squad after missing 14 months following his ACL tear and meniscus injury in July 2025. He has completed his recovery and returned to full training, and his place on the bench marks his first matchday involvement since the injury.

SEPTEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

Eren Dinkci - Fit to play against Koln Dinkci (knee) is fit and available for Saturday's clash against Koln, as he was not mentioned in the injury report by coach Daniel Thioune.

Impact Dinkci had been forced off with an apparent right leg issue after scoring the opening goal in the recent win over RB Leipzig, a concerning moment given how well he had been playing in his first appearance back with the club. This clean bill of health now confirms that scare was not serious, positioning him to continue building on his strong start as Werder Bremen's season progresses.

SEPTEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Senne Lynen - Remains out Lynen (hip) will remain unavailable for the time being, according to coach Daniel Thioune. "The decision to have him play against Freiburg after only three training sessions wasn't...

Impact Lynen missed the recent win over RB Leipzig due to hip problems and has continued training individually this week rather than rejoining the group. His return now appears to be a more gradual process than initially expected, and his path back into Bremen's midfield rotation will continue to be managed carefully.

SEPTEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Mitchell Weiser - Available again after 14 months Weiser (knee) is available again for his coach after 14 months, having recently rejoined full team training and immediately offered himself as an option for the trip to Koln, accor...

Impact Weiser tore his ACL and suffered a meniscus injury in July 2025, an absence that has kept him out of the picture for Werder Bremen ever since. His full return to training marks a major milestone in that long recovery, and while a role against Koln remains uncertain, his path back into the matchday squad continues to move in the right direction.

SEPTEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Felix Agu - Returns to partial team training Agu (calf) participated in portions of Tuesday's team training for the first time since suffering his muscular injury in late July, according to the club.

Impact Agu's partial involvement represents an important step after several weeks on the sidelines, though he has yet to complete a full session with the team. The full-back will need to increase his workload before being considered fully available, leaving his status for Saturday's clash against Koln uncertain. His progress over the remainder of the week should determine whether he can return to the matchday squad or will require additional time to rebuild his fitness.

SEPTEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Senne Lynen - Remains in individual training Lynen (pelvis) continued to train individually Tuesday as he works his way back from the issue that kept him out of Saturday's 3-1 win over RB Leipzig, according to the club.

Impact Lynen has yet to rejoin his teammates, though coach Daniel Thioune previously indicated that the midfielder should return relatively soon while gradually increasing his workload. A return to team training later this week could still put him in contention for Saturday's clash against Koln, but his availability remains uncertain for now. Lynen had been regularly involved in Bremen's midfield before the setback, so he should push back into the rotation once fully fit.

SEPTEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Niclas Fullkrug - Nets one in win Fullkrug scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-1 win against RB Leipzig.

Impact Fullkrug scored one of the team's three goals in Saturday's 3-1 win. With West Ham relegated to the Championship, the forward returned to the club on a one-year loan and has made an immediate impact, recording a goal on two shots on target through the first two matches of the season. His extensive Bundesliga experience and proven track record in Germany's top division should provide a major boost to the attack throughout the campaign.

SEPTEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Marco Grull - Scores, assists in win Grull scored one goal and assisted once from five shots and two chances created in Saturday's 3-1 victory over RB Leipzig.

Impact Grull turned in another stellar performance for Werder Bremen on Saturday, recording a goal and an assist to contribute to two of the team's three goals. He now has one goal and two assists through the first two matches, already surpassing his assist total from last season in an encouraging start for the winger.

SEPTEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Karl Hein - Three saves made in win Hein had three saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 3-1 win against RB Leipzig.

Impact Hein appeared headed for a clean sheet, but a late goal spoiled it as he made three saves against Leipzig on Saturday. He has already conceded five goals through the first two matches of the season while recording four saves and two clearances.
