SV Werder Bremen Haberleri

SVW won under the floodlights on Friday evening against Hertha BSC at the wohninvest WESERSTADION. Thanks to Niclas Füllkrug’s late goal (85’), Werder won a disjointed game full of interruptions. Overall, SVW had the better chances, but could find the net in the first half. The second half was just as disjointed as the first with plenty of players ending up on the floor for most of the time. In the end, Werder were able to secure the win and climb back up the table.

After a difficult week where Werder suffered three consecutive defeats, the Green-Whites turned their slide around with a win over Hertha BSC on Friday evening. Niclas Füllkrug’s late header gave Werder victory in what had been a tight and cagey affair. “It was a good and mature performance. The goal was the only difference between two very even teams,” explained head coach Ole Werner after the game.

Friday evening, under the floodlights, in front of a sold-out crowd: the chance to put last week’s result out of our memory could not be any better. Hertha Berlin are the opponents stepping into the wohninvest WESERSTADION this Friday evening (28.10.22, 20:30 CEST). In the press conference ahead of the game, Ole Werner emphasised how important team spirit is, just as getting results have been slipping away from the team. “It is a fundamental for us to know that we can solve the many things which we face in the Bundesliga as a group.”

The DFB’s sporting tribunal has handed Marco Friedl a two-match suspension following an inquiry into his red card during the away game against SC Freiburg.

The DFL released the precise dates and times of matchdays 17-19 on Thursday. SV Werder Bremen will face Union Berlin on Wednesday evening as well as normal afternoon kick-offs against Wolfsburg and Stuttgart at 15:30 CET.

SV Werder will continue to be without Felix Agu for the upcoming weeks. The 23-year-old will be out until the season restart in the new year with a patella injury. “Felix has been suffering with it for a while now, but he’s faced it head on and has himself available for the team. We want him to have a break now so that he can return in the new year,” said head coach Ole Werner.

For the last six Bundesliga matchdays as well as the Pokal match in Paderborn, Ilia Gruev has become one of the first names on the Werder teamsheet.  The 22-year-old has stepped up in the absence of other midfielders, and has quickly developed into a key player. “I appreciate the praise from the coach and the club,” said the Bulgaria international during Wednesday’s media duties.

Milos Veljkovic and Eren Dinkci were unable to take part in team training on Thursday and instead trained individually. Ole Werner also had to deal with three other illness-related absences.
