Werder looking to bounce back

“It’s quite a normal Bundesliga fixture for us,“ said Werder Bremen Sporting Director Frank Baumann during the press conference ahead of Sunday’s away match at Schalke 04 (17:30 CET). However, Baumann was not talking about the team’s attitude and mentality that they were lacking in the match against Freiburg. The match against Schalke 04 can’t be ‘quite normal’, because the Green-Whites don’t want...

Twin-telepathy on the ice

Niklas Mosainder has finally settled down at his new club. The Finnish central defender has been at SV Werder for four months now and has got to know the club, the city and the people on Bremen. “The mentality here suits me, the city reminds me of my home town,” said the 31-year-old.

Kruse makes a return to training

Another day of training and another piece of good news for Werder.  After coming through a successful fitness test on Monday, Max Kruse returned to Werder training this afternoon and, alongside Claudio Pizarro, completed the session with his teammates. “Max has a lot of determination to help us once again,” explained Werder head coach Alex Nouri, before offering a note of caution. “He has been out...

Pizarro back in training

It’s what the Werder fans have been waiting for! Claudio Pizarro took part in some training exercises in this afternoon’s team session. Nouri explained that Claudio had been able to take part in some training exercises but the club don’t want to rush him back too quickly. Nouri did not confirm whether Pizarro would feature in Sunday’s match against Schalke in Gelsenkirchen. “We still don’t know if...

Sané suffers small knee ligament tear

Fortunately, Lamine Sané’s injury isn’t as bad as first feared. However, the tests carried out on Sunday morning did show that the centre-back has suffered a small tear in the LCL in his right knee. The injury came in Werder’s loss to SC Freiburg at the weekend.

Frank Baumann: “We didn’t give enough”

It just wasn’t Werder’s day. Rather than now pushing for a place in the middle of the Bundesliga table, the Green Whites are forced to look over their shoulder - the 3-1 home defeat to SC Freiburg was therefore a step back for SVW. “It was a tough day. We didn’t perform how we promised ourselves we would,” explained the self-critical Fin Bartels after the game. Frustration and disappointment...

Confident Freiburg take three points in Bremen

After two home wins in a row, Werder have succumbed to impressive promoted side SC Freiburg in front of a sold-out crowd at the Weser-Stadion (3-1). After a good start to the game, the visitors benefited from two pieces of disappointing Werder defending. First, Maximilian Philipp finished after a lovely solo run (29’) and ten minutes later, Vincenzo Grifo scored from the spot to put his side 2-0...

Competition for places is heating up

+++Competition for places: On Friday afternoon, 22 players took part in the final training session ahead of the match against SC Freiburg.

Even Fin Bartels is competing with Serge Gnabry and Izet Hajrovic for his place in the team. “It’s a good thing for the team that we have so many...

Werder seeking third home win of the season

They would have hoped for a successful start to the week in Freiburg, as before SCF travelled to Bremen to face SV Werder on Saturday (29th Oct, 15:30 CEST), they came up against second division side SV Sandhausen in the DFB Cup and suffered a disappointing loss on penalties. Despite the fact this week’s opponents have already played 120 minutes during the week, coach Alex Nouri doesn’t see this...

Kruse: “The competition is what excites me"

Max Kruse’s Bremen homecoming should have been something beautiful, but instead of a successful return to the Green-White jersey, the striker badly injured his knee in Werder’s DFB Cup exit against Lotte. It remains a painful memory for SVW, as well as Kruse himself. Since then, the 28-year-old has been working on his comeback and in the past few days, has returned to the training pitch to carry...

“No such thing as a good defeat”

Werder were pushing right until the end of the game against a team in great form, and, for large parts of the game, defended solidly. Therefore, there were a few positives that Werder can take from the game. However after the encounter, nobody after the game wanted to say the 3-1 loss to RB Leipzig was "good". “There’s no such thing as a good defeat, it would be a contradiction to say that and...

Werder fall to Leipzig

SV Werder have lost a tricky away tie in Leipzig 3-1. Naby Keita put the hosts into the lead shortly before the break, before the same player doubled RB’s advantage in the 72nd minute. The Green-Whites reacted brilliantly to this second setback and halved the deficit a minute later through Serge Gnabry. This was too little too late however, as ex-Werder man Davie Selke made it 3-1 to Leipzig in...

Nouri: "Actions speak louder than words"

Werder Bremen have seven points from seven Bundesliga fixtures. From an objective view, it’s not a big reason to celebrate. However, these seven points have come from the last three matches and therefore it is easier to understand why Alexander Nouri appeared to be happy in the press conference ahead of Sunday’s match against RB Leipzig.

Time for an away win!

SV Werder’s form in the past weeks has been on the way up thanks to home wins against Wolfsburg and Leverkusen and picking up a point in Darmstadt. By using this momentum from the last few games, Alexander Nouri’s men have the chance to continue this run of form against RB Leipzig (Sunday, 15:30 CEST). “We’ve shown in the past few weeks that we can pick up points against any opponent if we’re...

Left foot forward

‘Trust’ is one of the words that journalists discussing Izet Hajrovic have found themselves using quite a lot in the last few weeks. The Bosnian is grateful for the chances that new head coach Alexander Nouri has given him in the first team, and that he has been able to repay that to both the new man in charge and his team mates. That being said, Hajrovic’s renewed confidence is not just evident...

Gnabry: "We'll have to wait and see"

The Leipzig game is drawing ever closer, and preparations are well underway for the club’s first ever clash with the Bundesliga’s newest debutants. While the squad wasn’t back in regular training until this afternoon, there was already a trio of Werder players being put through their paces in the morning.

High spirits in training

Fans following the Werder player’s first training session on Tuesday morning might have a few questions. Ten players who regularly trained last week were not present. The majority of these players, including Theodor Gebre Selassie, Lamine Sané, Niklas Moisander and Santiago García were working in the weights room. Both central midfielders Clemens Fritz and Zlatko Junuzovic were also following a...
