Jiri Pavlenka - Three saves in draw Pavlenka made three saves and conceded once in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Koln.

Impact Pavlenka only has four clean sheets this season and is without a one in his last ten games. If he fails to shut out Union in the final game on Saturday, it will be the joint lowest he has managed in his Bundesliga career.

Mitchell Weiser - Picks up injury Weiser was subbed off due to a thigh injury in the 48th minute of Saturday's 1-1 draw against 1. FC Koln. He recorded one tackle (zero won) before exiting the match.

Impact Weiser came off just after the start of the second half with a thigh injury. He's started in the last 10 matches while recording a goal, two assists and 34 crosses (15 accurate). With the last game of the season May 27 against Union Berlin, the midfielder is in doubt to return before the campaign ends, depending on the severity of the injury.

Niclas Fullkrug - Returns to starting lineup Fullkrug (calf) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Koln.

Impact The return of Fullkrug represents a massive boost for Bremen's attacking line, as the Germany international has been out since April 8 and missed five games in a row. He's among the leading scorers in the Bundesliga with 16 goals across 27 starts in 2022-23.

Ilia Gruev - Starting against Koln Gruev (undisclosed) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Koln.

Impact Gruev lasted 76 minutes against Leipzig last week and was doubtful due to a minor muscular problem, but he gets the nod here and will make his second consecutive start -- something he hadn't done since mid-March. He's yet to score in 30 appearances (17 starts) during the current Bundesliga campaign, though.

Marvin Ducksch - Returns to lineup Saturday Ducksch (undisclosed) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Koln.

Impact Ducksch left the previous game against Leipzig with cramps and was uncertain he'd recover in time for this matchup, but he finds himself in the XI and will lead the attacking line alongside Nicklas Fullkrug. Ducksch has 12 goals this season.

Niclas Fullkrug - Set for return Fullkrug (calf) will return for Saturday's clash with Koln, manager Ole Werner told reporters Friday.

Impact Fullkrug is finally set to return from a calf strain that sidelined him for five straight matches. Fullkrug's most impressive feat in 2022/23 is perhaps something he did while injured, despite missing five straight matches he still holds a two-goal lead for the Golden boot. The striker has been brilliant when on the pitch and is a major boost to the value of his strike partner, Marvin Ducksch.

Christian Gross - Training Thursday Gross (knee) took part in team training Thursday, Bild reports.

Impact Gross made a return to training Thursday, giving him a chance to return before Saturday's clash with Koln. The midfielder has no guarantee to be fully fit, but the return to training keeps the door open. With two Bundesliga matches remaining Gross will face an uphill battle to get fully fit before the end of the Bundesliga.

Niclas Fullkrug - Returns to partial team training Fullkrug (calf) took part in sections of team training Wednesday, Werder announced.

Impact Fullkrug was active in team training, though only sections of it, during Wednesday's session. The striker is making strides towards a return from a calf strain that has turned into a long-term injury. It's unlikely the talismanic striker is rushed back into the starting XI, though if he can continues to progress through team training he could return to the bench for a Saturday clash with Koln.

Niclas Fullkrug - Training individually Fullkrug (calf) trained individually during Wednesday's session, Werder Bremen announced.

Impact Fullkrug was once again left in individual training during Wednesday's session as he continues to recover from a calf injury. The injury has now cost Fullkrug over a month of playing time and leaves him with just three chances left to return. Fullkrug has been absolutely incredible when on the pitch and would raise the ceiling of everyone in the attack.

MAY 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Felix Agu - Continues rehab program Agu (knee) is continuing his rehab program and is in doubt to return before the season ends.

Impact Agu's season return is in heavy doubt as he continues to rehab from a knee injury suffered late last year. If this is the end of his campaign, the midfield would have totaled just three appearances, generating just a cross and a tackle in just 47 minutes of play.

MAY 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Amos Pieper - Trains individually Pieper (kneecap) was seen training individually ahead of Sunday's match against RB Leipzig.

Milos Veljkovic - Assists off bench against Bayern Veljkovic provided an assist after coming off the bench during Saturday's 2-1 loss against Bayern Munich.

Impact Veljkovic was brought to replace injured Amos Pieper (wrist) and wasn't having anything special on his stat line but then he assisted fellow substitute Nicklas Schmidt for his side's lone goal in the 87th minute. This unexpected contribution was the first assist of the campaign for the center-back and he could very well be included in the starting XI for May 14 visit to RB Leipzig if Pieper can't recover on time.

Leonardo Bittencourt - Active on both ends versus Bayern Bittencourt had three shots (one on target), created two chances, sent in three crosses (one accurate) and made nine tackles (five won) during Saturday's 2-1 loss against Bayern Mu...

Impact Bittencourt was one of Werder's few players capable of threatening the opposition on the attacking end and was even better on defense, more than doubling his previous season high in tackles. With two goals and two assists over 22 league appearances, the midfielder isn't having his most prolific campaign but often finds his way of being productive for fantasy purposes.

MAY 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Niklas Schmidt - Scores off bench against Bayern Schmidt scored a goal off his lone shot after coming off the bench during Saturday's 2-1 loss against Bayern Munich.

Impact Schmidt was brought just in the 82nd minute with his side losing by two goals and still found time to make an impact, cutting the deficit to just one with a spectacular long-range shot that went into the top corner. This was jus the third goal of the campaign for the midfielder, who lost his starting spot last month and will have three more games to leave a better impression before the season comes to an end.
