Maximilian Philipp - Hopeful for debut at weekend Philipp is hoping to be fit enough to make his debut for Werder Bremen on Sunday against VfB Stuttgart, according to manager Ole Werner on Friday.
Impact Philipp just joined Werder on-loan from Wolfsburg this week, so it's unclear whether Werner was referring to an injury that might be preventing him from playing Sunday or whether it's just building up fitness with his new team after the move. Either way, he will be questionable to face Stuttgart.

Impact BIttencourt has started six consecutive Bundesliga matches for Bremen in attacking midfield, taking three shots (one on target) with one chance created in the 2-1 defeat to Union Berlin on Wednesday.

Niclas Fullkrug - Takes two shots against Union Fullkrug had two shots (one on target), created two chances and drew three fouls during Wednesday's 2-1 loss against Union.
Impact Fullkrug was coming off scoring in his return after the break but this time, despite being one of Werder's few positives up front, he couldn't extend his three game scoring streak between Bundesliga and FIFA World Cup. With 11 goals over 16 appearances, the forward is ranked second among league's top goalscorers and will try to add to his tally during Saturday's home clash against Wolfsburg.

Jiri Pavlenka - Beaten twice against Union Pavlenka made three saves and conceded two goals during Wednesday's 2-1 loss against Union Berlin.
Impact Pavlenka was coming off allowing 15 goals over the previous three starts and once again didn't have the defensive help he needed. Actually it was the opposite in the 18th minute, when center-back Amos Pieper made a very poor pass and left the goalkeeper in a very bad situation that resulted in the opposition's first goal. Then, he was beaten once again in the first minute of the second frame to mark his 10th game with multiple goals allowed over 17 league starts this season. Pavlenka will try to bounce back during Saturday's home clash against Wolfsburg.

Impact Ducksch used a perfectly taken free kick from the left to assist Amos Pieper's opener in the 14th minute but then couldn't appear that much on the game other than his usual involvement on set pieces. Anyway, that's now back-to-back matches with an assist for the attacker, who will try to extend the streak during Saturday's home clash against Wolfsburg.

Amos Pieper - Scores against Union Pieper scored a goal off his lone shot and made two clearances during Wednesday's 2-1 loss against Union Berlin.
Impact Pieper opened the scoring for Werder in the 14th minute, heading home a free-kick cross from the left. However, from that point things didn't go well at all. Just four minutes after finding the back of the net, the center-back made a very poor pass to goalkeeper Jiri Pavlenka, who couldn't react on time to prevent the opposition from drawing things level. The lack of defensive production from Pieper during the rest of the contest was something to note and his stat line suffered the effects of his performance. Anyway, despite the bad game, Pieper remains of Bundesliga's best at his position and he should bounce back quickly.
