Fighting spirit at Werder: Injured stars are missing from the duel against Wolfsburg!

It's going to be exciting in the stadium! On Friday, November 7th, 2025, at 8:30 p.m., SV Werder Bremen opens the 10th matchday of the Bundesliga with a clash against VfL Wolfsburg. Football fans can look forward to watching the game live on SKY or in the live ticker on the club's official website, WERDER.DE. The anticipation is great, but there are also some personnel challenges for head coach Horst Steffen's team.

In today's press conference, Steffen gave an update on the personnel situation. Unfortunately, Niklas Stark will not be able to play in the upcoming game against Wolfsburg. The team has struggled with significant injury problems this season. However, Isaac Schmidt could be in the starting line-up for the game against Wolfsburg after successfully recovering from his injury. This brings a breath of fresh air into the lineup. But the list of long-term injuries remains worrying.

Injury problems at SV Werder Bremen

To give an overview of the injured players: The following players are currently missing:

• Mitchell Weiser (Kreuzbandriss)
• Maximilian Wöber (Muskelverletzung)
• Olivier Deman (Bruch des Außenknöchels)
• Felix Agu (Verletzung des Syndesmosebandes)
• Salim Musah (Oberschenkelprobleme)

The susceptibility to injuries represents a major challenge for many clubs in the Bundesliga. According to Statista, the average injuries per season in the Bundesliga between 2020/2021 and 2023/2024 were around 56, which has a negative impact on the teams' performance. SV Werder Bremen is no exception and will face VfL Wolfsburg under these conditions, who are also struggling with injuries.

The pressure in the squad is increasing and the possibility of Schmidt playing from the start could play a crucial role in the outcome of the game. In the recent past, many teams have tried to get out of the injury trap, but statistics show that this is not always successful. Perhaps the key to success here lies in more robust injury prevention, which many clubs need to implement.

The fans can be excited to see how the game will develop. With the severe personnel problems, SV Werder Bremen has a rocky road ahead of them. Whatever the outcome of the game, the support of the fans in the stadium will definitely be an important factor.
