"No one wants to let this city down"

Two games without a goal, only seven in the entire Hinrunde - not the numbers the Werder attack had in mind, especially not Josh Sargent. The USA international scored against Hertha BSC in the 2-2 draw, but has since been waiting for his fourth goal of the season. "It's really frustrating for us a team, we want to create a lot of chances, but it's just not working for us at the moment," said...

Build up the rhythm

Ludwig Augustinsson was given 15 minutes against Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday evening. The 26-year-old was glad to be back out on the pitch, despite the result. “It felt good after such a long time out. I’ve had quite a few injuries this season, which has been very frustrating. So at least it was a nice feeling to be substituted on,” Augustinsson told WERDER.TV.

His ruptured Achilles was followed by a knee injury, as well as various muscular problems, but those are all in the past now since Wednesday. Against Frankfurt, Fin Bartels made his...

We came, we fought, we conquered

A win away at Schalke! SVW have risen to the task in the next step of their relegation battle with a 1-0 win over S04.
