+++ Eichin congratulates the U23s: Following the U23 side's promotion, Werder's sporting director, Thomas Eichin, had some kind words to say about the team's triumph: "This success wasn't a requirement, but the team were desperate for it. They have achieved their own goals so for that I congratulate them all. I'm very proud of these boys. The promotion shows that Werder have made a lot of good decisions in recent years. We want to carry that forward. That's the Werder way. The promotion gives us completely new options for our development. Werder Bremen belong among the top clubs in German football for young aspiring footballers", continued Eichin. +++

+++ Öztunali wins, Grillitsch injured: Levin Öztunali and the Germany U20s gotten off to a flying start in their World Cup campaign. The 19 year old Werder player was in the starting XI as Germany ran out 8-1 winners against Fiji in Christchurch, before being substituted for Felix Lohkemper. Frank Wormuth's side face Uzbekistan in their next match on Thursday in Christchurch. Meanwhile, the competition hasn't been so great for Werder's Austrian youth player, Florian Grillitsch, who suffered a concussion during his side's 1-1 draw with Ghana in their opening fixture. As such, he is a doubt for the next match against Panama on Tuesday. +++

+++ Eggestein topscorer: SV Werder’s U17s finished their league season in fifth place. Striker Johannes Eggestein, however, scored his 22nd goal of the season during the 2-2 draw against champions RB Leipzig, making the 17 year-old talent the leading goalscorer in the Bundesliga Nord/Nordost division; a due reward for a season of fantastic performances. He also impressed during the U17s European Championships, in which he captained Germany to the final and scored a consolatory goal in the 4-1 defeat against France. +++

+++ Skripnik and Gebre Selassie in Bundesliga Team of the Year on Transfermarkt.de: Users on the popular website Transfermarkt.de have chosen their team of the year for 2014/15. Werder boss Viktor Skripnik was voted manager of the side, whilst Werder’s Czech defender was selected as the team’s right back. Congratulations to both from everyone at WERDER.DE. +++
