Jiri Pavlenka - Available for selection Pavlenka remains available for selection in Saturday's match against Stuttgart as he will wear a mask after suffering a broken nose during Thursday's training session.

Impact Pavlenka has been the most reliable part of this club's descent to the second division and the ensuing return so it's unlikely he'll miss many matches without more serious injuries impeding his play. There's a chance he won't be able to start Saturday but it seems likely that Michael Zetterer won't be needed as Pavlenka is mostly fit, if a little jarred.

AUGUST 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Christian Gross - Misses final training session Gross missed Friday's training session due to an infection ahead of Saturday's match against Stuttgart.

Impact Gross is highly likely to miss Saturday's game due to missing the final training session. As he had played the full 90 during the opener against Wolfsburg, look to Romano Schmid as a potential replacement.

AUGUST 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Benjamin Goller - Expected to be available Goller (ankle) is expected to train and be available for Saturday's clash with Stuttgart, according to manager Ole Werner.

Impact Goller was on loan throughout the 2021/22 season and it's uncertain what his role will look like with Bremen, even when fully fit.

AUGUST 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Jiri Pavlenka - Picks up knock Pavlenka missed training with Werder Bremen on Thursday due to an undisclosed knock ahead of Saturday's clash against Stuttgart.

AUGUST 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Christian Gross - Not in training Gross missed training with Werder Bremen on Thursday due to illness.

Impact Gross played the full 90 minutes in last weekend's draw with Wolfsburg, but he wasn't able to train on Thursday and will now be questionable for Saturday's clash against Stuttgart. Romano Schmid (illness) could replace him in central midfield for the game if necessary.

AUGUST 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Bittencourt played 75 minutes and scored in last weekend's Bundesliga opener against Wolfsburg, but he has picked up a knock on his heel and will be questionable for Saturday's clash against Stuttgart. Romano Schmid (illness) could replace him in central midfield for the game if necessary.

AUGUST 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Fullkrug had taken a contusion during the opener against Wolfsburg and returns with just two days to train before the next fame. He scored in the opener and if he's unable to start Saturday, Oliver Burke could begin the match from kickoff.

AUGUST 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Lee Buchanan - Comes off bench in draw Buchanan made three interceptions in 21 minutes of Saturday's 2-2 draw with Wolfsburg.

Impact Buchanan had dealt with a muscular knock before the opener but he was at least able to feature as a substitute if he couldn't start. He'll still need to earn his place in the lineup but he'll need to jump over one of Niklas Stark, Amos Pieper or Milos Veljkovic to make that happen.

AUGUST 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Niclas Fullkrug - Suffers knock in draw Fullkrug suffered a muscular contusion during Saturday's 2-2 draw with Wolfsburg and a decision on his status will be made far closer to Saturday's match against Stuttgart, accordi...

Marvin Ducksch - Provides assist in draw Ducksch made an assist, had two shots (one on target), created four chances and sent in three crosses (one accurate) during Saturday's 2-2 draw against Wolfsburg.

Impact Ducksch made his first Bundesliga start in more than three years and his return was very productive as he assisted Leonardo Bittencourt for his side's second goal with a picture-perfect cross and created more scoring chances than anyone else here. The forward will try to keep it up during next Saturday's home clash against Stuttgart.

Leonardo Bittencourt - Scores in draw Bittencourt (strain) scored a goal off three shots (two on target), created one chance and made two interceptions during Saturday's 2-2 draw against Wolfsburg.

Impact Bittencourt was questionable for the season opener but was fit to be inserted into the starting XI. And his Bundesliga return ended up being great as he scored his side's second goal with a well-placed header in the 23rd minute and was involved in the build-up of other dangerous plays. The midfielder is expected to be one of Werder's top fantasy performers this season and will try to keep it up during next Saturday's home clash against Stuttgart.

AUGUST 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Jens Stage - Provides assist in draw Stage provided an assist and made three tackles (one won), one clearance, four interceptions and one block during Saturday's 2-2 draw against Wolfsburg-

Impact Stage had a great Bundesliga debut here, being credited with an assist for his side's first goal and then making several defensive contributions, which included leading all players in interceptions. With the first impression he left, the midfielder will probably remain in the starting XI for the upcoming matches.

AUGUST 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Jiri Pavlenka - Concedes two in draw Pavlenka made one save and conceded two goals during Saturday's 2-2 draw against Wolfsburg.

Impact Pavlenka didn't have the best return to Bundesliga as he was beaten once each half during this season opener and the fact that he couldn't make much saves to offset these goals makes his fantasy output even worse. The goalkeeper will try to bounce back during next Saturday's home clash against Stuttgart.
