Marco Friedl - Forced off with shoulder injury Friedl (shoulder) was forced off injured in the 57th minute of Sunday's 4-0 defeat against Stuttgart, the club announced.

Impact Friedl suffered an apparent shoulder injury right before the hour mark and was forced off as he couldn't carry on. The left-back will be assessed in the coming days to know the extend of the issue but if he had to miss time to recover, it would be a massive blow for Bremen since he is an undisputed starter in the backline this season. Niklas Stark would see increased playing time if the injury to Friedl proves to be a serious one.

Victor Boniface - Doubtful against Stuttgart Boniface suffered a knee contusion in training and will be a doubt for Sunday's clash against Stuttgart, according to the club.

Impact Boniface suffered a knee contusion in training this week, will not train on Friday, and is therefore a doubt for Sunday's clash against Stuttgart. The Nigerian, who hasn't been called up by his country for the AFCON, will likely face a late fitness test ahead of the game, but a potential absence from the striker won't affect the starting squad, since he has mainly been a bench option this season for Bremen.

Niklas Stark - Suspension served Stark is no longer banned and is an option for the club moving forward.

Impact Stark had a red card but has served his ban after a game out, with the defender returning to availability. This will give the club another option in the defense as he will hope to remain fit, starting in the first two games of the season, but unable to stay fit this season since then.
