Werder Bremen captain Marco Friedl is a doubt for Friday’s Bundesliga clash against Bayern Munich.
According to DeichStube, the 27-year-old centre-back was forced to leave Tuesday’s training session early after experiencing discomfort in his left knee.
Friedl has already struggled with knee issues this season and missed Werder’s 3-3 draw with Bayer Leverkusen as a result.
Meanwhile, Samuel Mbangula, who sat out last week’s 0-3 defeat to Freiburg with a hamstring injury, was only able to train individually.
Isak Hansen-Aarøen and Niklas Stark also missed team training alongside long-term absentees Mitchell Weiser, Olivier Deman and Maximilian Wöber.
Quick take: Match context: momentum and small details could decide this one, especially set-pieces and transitions. Form and fitness will matter; expect managers to rotate carefully around the congested schedule. We’ll keep an eye on confirmed details as the story develops from official sources.
