Anthony Jung - Ready to return Jung served a two-match ban and is eligible for Sunday's clash with Stuttgart.

Impact Jung is one of the most important pieces of the Bremen backline and his absence was notable, especially with Marco Friedl also suspended. Now that both are back available they should both slot straight into the starting XI for Sunday's match against Stuttgart, though that is a tough match as Stuttgart continue to excel offensively.

Justin Njinmah - Set for ankle surgery Njinmah is set to undergo surgery on his ankle, the club confirmed Wednesday.

Impact Njinmah has been dealing with an issue since before the international break, picking up an ankle injury in the March 16 match against Union Berlin, then appearing to aggravate it while increasing his load in training, now forcing him to undergo surgery. This will leave the forward in serious doubt for a return this season, as he will now be set to be out for around two to three months, with only two months left in the season. Unfortunately, this will cause some changes for the club, as he has started in nine of the club's past 11 games despite a reserve role to begin the season, with Nick Woltemade being his most likely replacement in the starting XI while he is out.

Amos Pieper - Nearing return Pieper (ankle) is expected to return during the international break, Kicker reports.

Impact Pieper is expected to get back on the pitch during some international break friendlies. He's been slowly making his way back into group and team training and is nearing a return to the starting XI. Pieper's first chance to get back in the Bundesliga could come as soon as a March 30 clash with Wolfsburg.

Michael Zetterer - Five saves, two goals conceded Zetterer made five saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Union Berlin.

Impact Zetterer has logged four or five saves during each of his last three appearances. However, all of them saw him concede two goals. Zetterer will look to flip his momentum after the international break, which gives him almost two weeks to recover before Werder Bremen and VfL Wolfsburg play against each other on March 30.
