MITCHELL WEISER NEWS

Plays in defeat Weiser (ankle) played 22 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 2-1 loss to Augsburg.

Impact Weiser returned to the bench Saturday and played 22 minutes during the loss. The wing-back is still building his fitness back up, but when fully fit should be a nailed-on starter once more. Leonardo Bittencourt will likely shift back to central midfield once Weiser is ready for a role in the starting XI.

Impact Weiser missed out the last two matches, but is expected to make an immediate return to the starting XI Saturday. He has generated seven assists, 50 tackles (31 won) and 41 crosses (12 accurate) in 19 appearances thus far.

Not ready for return Weiser (ankle) is ruled out for Saturday's clash with Bochum, according to manager Ole Werner.

Impact Weiser remains out with an ankle injury despite making a return to training earlier in the week. Any sort of return is good news for the wing-back, but it's still not enough to see him back on the pitch. Weiser's next chance for a return is a Mar. 4 trip to Augsburg.

Training individually Weiser (ankle) was able to do individual work in training with Werder Bremen on Thursday.

Impact Weiser missed last weekend's loss to Eintracht Frankfurt after suffering an ankle injury in the previous match, but he will be questionable for Saturday's clash against Bochum as he's making progress with his recovery. Romano Schmid replaced him in the XI on the right wing last weekend.

Out against Eintracht Weiser (ankle) has been ruled out of next weekend's clash against Eintracht Frankfurt, Werder Bremen announced Monday.

Impact Weiser suffered ligament damage in his ankle against Dortmund on Saturday and is set to miss at least one game while he recovers. Next weekend will be just the second Bundesliga match he hasn't started this season. Niklas Schmidt, Ilia Gruev and Romano Schmid (knee) are all options to replace him in the XI against Frankfurt.

Forced off with ankle injury Weiser was forced off in the second half of Saturday's match with Dortmund due to an ankle injury.

Impact Weiser landed wrong coming down from an aerial duel and twisted his ankle, leaving the pitch in the 77th minute. Weiser has had an excellent campaign, leading Bremen with seven assists, so a prolonged absence could be problematic.

Eligible to return from suspension Weiser can return to Werder Bremen's squad for Saturday's clash against Borussia Dortmund.

Impact Weiser missed Sunday's win over Stuttgart with a suspension for yellow card accumulation, but he is likely to return to the XI against Dortmund as he had started every single Bundesliga match this season on the right wing prior to last weekend.

Impact Weiser set up Niclas Fullkrug in the 77th minute assisting what would end up being the game winning goal for Bremen.

Assists twice versus Schalke Weiser provided two assists, created four chances, made six tackles (four won) and three clearances and drew three fouls during Saturday's 2-1 win over Schalke.

Impact Weiser had arguably his best performance of the campaign so far, not only because of the two spectacular assists, one each half, but for his overall contributions on both sides on the pitch. The midfielder has now five assists over 13 league starts this season and will try to keep it up during Tuesday's visit to Bayern Munich.

Three shots in win Weiser had three shots (one on goal), four crosses (one accurate), and one chance created in Friday's 1-0 victory against Hertha BSC Berlin.

Impact Weiser was involved in everything Friday, drawing six fouls and nearly getting himself sent off. The right wing-back will have to be on his best behavior before the Winter break, with four yellow cards to his name, one away from suspension. Weiser remains a high floor option with defensive and offensive contributions as he drives play from right wing-back.

Nets in rout Weiser scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal), five crosses (two accurate), and two chances created in Saturday's 5-1 win over Monchengladbach.

Impact Weiser scored his first goal of the campaign Saturday, getting in on the scoring fun during what turned into a one-sided rout. The right back has been a consistent producer on both sides of the ball with three assists coming into the international break. Weiser is unlikely to continue this goal-scoring, but should be good value to fill the stat sheet defensively and create chances up and down the right flank.

Joining Werder permanently Weiser made a permanent transfer from Bayer Leverkusen to Werder Bremen on Friday.

Impact Weiser spent last season on loan at Bremen, where he scored twice and provided two assists in 24 appearances. Locking down a regular at right-back should be no issue for a veteran in Weiser during his club's return to the Bundesliga.
