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.

Niklas Stark - Stalwart defending in win Stark had two tackles (two won), five clearances and one interception in Saturday's 2-0 victory versus FC Heidenheim.

Impact Start led the Werder Bremen defensive effort Saturday with five clearances as they earned a clean sheet in a 2-0 win over Heidenheim. After missing Werder Bremen's first six fixtures of 2026 due to a hip injury, the veteran defender has been named to the starting XI in each of their last three league matches. Across the three-match stretch, Stark has averaged one interception and 4.33 clearances per appearance while playing the full 90 minutes twice.

Romano Schmid - Assists from cross in win Schmid assisted once to go with three shots (one on goal), four crosses (four accurate) and four chances created in Saturday's 2-0 win against FC Heidenheim.

Impact Schmid's cross to the back post cross Saturday assisted the fixture's opening goal in Werder Bremen's convincing 2-0 win over Heidenheim. The attacker matched a team-high with four cross attempts (four accurate) and created a team-best four chances. The assist was Schmid's sixth of the season and first since mid-January.

Jovan Milosevic - Opens scoring in win Milosevic was subbed off due to injury in the 69th minute of Saturday's 2-0 win against FC Heidenheim. He scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and one chance created...

Impact Milosevic's back post header catalyzed the Werder Bremen victory Saturday as they eased past Heidenheim with a 2-0 win. Before being removed as precautionary measure in the 69th minute, the forward had rattled off two shot attempts and scored in his second successive appearance (one start). Since joining Werder Bremen on loan from VfB Stuttgart, Milosevic has scored three times across eight appearances (two starts).

Mio Backhaus - One clearance in victory Backhaus had no saves and allowed zero goals in Saturday's 2-0 victory versus FC Heidenheim.

Impact Backhaus was forced to make just one clearance Saturday to record a clean sheet in Werder Bremen's 2-0 victory over FC Heidenheim. The clean sheet marked the young keeper's fourth of the campaign and first since December. Backhaus will be aiming for successive clean sheets for the first time in his career Sunday when Werder Bremen travel to the capital for a showdown with Union Berlin.

Amos Pieper - Still in rehab, won't train Pieper (knee) is still in rehabilitation and isn't expected to train this week, Sporting Director Peter Niemeyer said to the media, according to BILD. "Amos is still in rehabilitat...

Impact Pieper still has ground to cover before rejoining full team training, as the defender remains in the rehab phase of his recovery from a knee injury that has already sidelined him for the last five matches. A return isn't imminent, with several more weeks likely on the shelf and no expectation of him getting back on the training pitch this week. That's a tough hit for Bremen, considering he's been a steady starter all season and depth along the back line is looking stretched, so until he's cleared, Marco Friedl and Niklas Stark are set to shoulder heavier minutes, while Abdoul-Karim Coulibaly (thigh) will also factor into the rotation once he's fully past his issue.

Jovan Milosevic - Scores off bench Milosevic scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) in Sunday's 2-1 defeat to FC St. Pauli. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 76th minute.

Impact Milosevic pulled Bremen level just past the hour mark, cashing in during the club's strongest stretch of the match right after they went down. His finish flipped the momentum in what felt like a relegation six-pointer and gave the Green-White real belief they could seize control. St. Pauli answered with the winner eight minutes later, turning his equalizer into a brief spark rather than a turning point. The goal stands as Milosevic's second of the season through seven appearances.

Mio Backhaus - Concedes two in loss Backhaus registered two saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-1 loss versus FC St. Pauli.

Impact Backhaus held his own in a sluggish first half, but one costly mistake flipped the script after the break. In the 55th minute, he misjudged what looked like a routine ball into the box, allowing Hauke Wahl's header to sneak in for the opener and completely shift the momentum. Bremen answered quickly through Jovan Milosevic, but that error ultimately stood as the decisive moment in the 2-1 loss. He finished with two saves on the night, yet it wasn't enough to salvage a point at St. Pauli, and he'll aim for a sharper, more commanding performance in Saturday's matchup against Heidenheim.

Felix Agu - Suffers adductor injury Agu (adductor) suffered an injury in the pregame warmup ahead of Sunday's 2-1 loss against St. Pauli, according to Deichstube.

Impact Agu was lined up to start in Sunday's matchup against St. Pauli, but the left-back picked up an adductor injury during the pregame warmup and was scratched from the squad. It's a tough break for Bremen, especially with Agu just coming off a long-term ankle injury and projected to reclaim his spot as the clear-cut starter on the left side when fully fit. Until he's back at full strength, Isaac Schmidt and Olivier Deman stand as the two leading candidates to step in and handle duties on that flank.

Leonardo Bittencourt - Named to bench Bittencourt (strain) is on the bench for Sunday's match against St. Pauli.

Impact Bittencourt was likely to be fit Sunday and has made the call, with the midfielder picked for a bench spot. He has only started one game all season and has served as a depth option, likely to continue this role after a decent absence.

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.
