Senne Lynen - Out with adductor issue Lynen is not in the squad for Sunday's clash with Mainz due to an adductor issue.

Felix Agu - Listed to bench Agu (groin) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Mainz.

Impact Agu is back in the team sheet after he appears to have passed his testing, with the midfielder on the bench. He was a starter at left-back to begin the season, but after two injuries have limited him to two games since October. 4, he will likely need to work back into time over the next month or so.

Felix Agu - Could make squad Sunday Agu (groin) could make the squad for Sunday's clash against Mainz, according to coach Daniel Thioune. "They are not candidates for the starting eleven. I will decide on Saturday wh...

Impact Agu has not returned to full team training yet but could still be a late fitness call ahead of Sunday's clash against Mainz. The left wing-back might sneak into the squad as a surprise option, though he is not expected to start the match. Isaac Schmidt or Olivier Deman remain the leading candidates to cover the role until Agu gets fully back up to speed.

Jovan Milosevic - Remains out for time being Milosevic (back) is still dealing with pain and remains out for the time being, according to coach Daniel Thioune. "The pain has not subsided enough for him to be fit to play. His...

Impact Milosevic pushed for a quick return but is still dealing with back pain and won't be an option for the time being. This is a setback for Bremen since it leaves them with one fewer option up front, although the forward has mostly played a depth role off the bench for the club this season.

Felix Agu - Trains partially Thursday Agu (groin) was spotted training partially with the team Thursday as planned, according to the club.

Impact Agu returned to partial team training Thursday as planned as he continues working his way back from a groin injury. The midfielder is unlikely to be risked in Sunday's clash against Mainz, especially since he had only just come back from a long-term ankle injury and the medical staff will want to avoid another setback for a player who is an undisputed starter on the left flank when fully fit. A return next week appears more realistic, leaving Isaac Schmidt and Olivier Deman as the leading candidates to handle the role against Mainz.

Felix Agu - Could partially integrate this week Agu (groin) is eyeing a return to training this week, according to manager Daniel Thioune, per Deich Stube. "If things go optimally and we work well individually in the next two da...

Impact Agu is still battling his groin injury but appears to be in a decent spot heading into the week, already training individually. This will hopefully lead him to then join partial team training Thursday, although unlikely to play Sunday. The club will wait for him as an option to gain some more depth, only an option for three games since the end of September due to injuries.

Leonardo Bittencourt - Assists as substitute Bittencourt assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 4-1 win over Union Berlin.

Impact Bittencourt replaced Keke Maximilian Topp at halftime and set up Patrice Covic in the 94th minute. Bittencourt recorded 65 passes and also made two tackles and a clearance. He has come off the bench 10 times and this was his first goal contribution of the campaign.

MARCH 9 • ROTOWIRE

Romano Schmid - Sets up goal on Sunday Schmid assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 4-1 victory versus Union Berlin.

Impact Schmid started the game on the left flank and smartly set up Marco Grull in the 66th minute. Schmid also recorded 49 passes. He has now assisted in back-to-back games and is up to seven assists for the campaign.

MARCH 9 • ROTOWIRE

Patrice Covic - Nets off bench Covic scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 4-1 win against Union Berlin.

Impact Covic replaced Romano Schmid in the 92nd minute and netted in the 94th minute. He has come off the bench 10 times and this was his first goal of the campaign.

MARCH 9 • ROTOWIRE

Olivier Deman - Scores on Sunday Deman scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and four chances created in Sunday's 4-1 victory over Union Berlin.

Impact Deman equalized in the 31st minute assisted by Jens Stage. Deman registered six clearances, two interceptions and a tackle. This was his first goal of the campaign.

MARCH 9 • ROTOWIRE

Mio Backhaus - Concedes once Backhaus made one save and allowed one goal in Sunday's 4-1 win against Union Berlin.

Impact Backhaus registered a clearance and conceded a spot kick in the 18th minute. He has now accumulated eight saves and six clearances in the last four games, conceding six times. Next, he takes on FSV Mainz, who have netted four times in the last three games and are very close to the relegation zone.

Werder Bremen beats Union Berlin 4-1 to leave Bundesliga's relegation zone

Jovan Milosevic - Out Sunday Milosevic (back) is out for Sunday's match against Union Berlin.

Impact Milosevic was close to being an option after traveling with the team, but is still being rested, not an option due to his back injury. This comes after a start last outing, a bit of a rough turn for the forward, as he has only started in two of his eight appearances all season. He should then return to the lineup next week after his close call Sunday.

Jovan Milosevic - Likely available Sunday Milosevic (back) is likely going to be available for Sunday's clash against Union Berlin, according to coach Daniel Thioune. "Ideally, we'll take him with us on the bus and decide...

Impact Milosevic has been dealing with back issues throughout the week but appears to be trending in the right direction, as he is expected to travel with the squad and be an option for Sunday's clash against Union Berlin. That said, even if he is cleared to feature, a spot in the starting XI looks unlikely. That should open the door for Keke Maximilian Topp to step into the lineup and lead the attack from the opening whistle.

Olivier Deman - Returns to team training Deman (ankle) was spotted back in team training Wednesday, according to the club.

Impact Deman had been dealing with an ankle issue picked up during the match against Heidenheim, but it turned out to be minor as he returned to team training Wednesday. That is encouraging news for Bremen since he should be the preferred option over Isaac Schmidt on the left flank while Felix Agu (groin) remains sidelined.

Jovan Milosevic - Suffers back problems Milosevic suffered back problems in Saturday's win against Heidenheim and hopes to return for Sunday's clash against Union Berlin, he said to the media, according to Bjarne Voigt f...

Impact Milosevic buried a goal in Saturday's win against Heidenheim before being forced off with back problems. The striker is expected to be evaluated over the coming days after he was not spotted in team training Monday. Milosevic will hope to be available for Sunday's clash against Union Berlin since he started the last match and a potential absence would be a setback after scoring twice across his last two appearances, with Keke Maximilian Topp likely the preferred option to step into the front line if he ends up missing time.

MARCH 4 • ROTOWIRE

Olivier Deman - Dealing with ankle injury Deman is dealing with an ankle injury and wasn't spotted in team training Monday, according to the club.

Impact Deman is dealing with an ankle injury he likely picked up in the last match against Heidenheim and he was not seen in team training Monday. That would be a tough blow for Bremen if the defender ends up missing time since Felix Agu (groin) is already sidelined for the time being. If both remain out for upcoming fixtures, the club could be forced to turn to third-choice option Isaac Schmidt on the left flank.
