Werder Bremen Suspensions & Injuries

Player	Injury	Expected return
Anthony Jung	Groin injury	Early May 2025

Anthony Jung’s absence due to a groin injury limits Werder Bremen’s defensive options. His experience and stability at the back will be sorely missed, especially against a high-flying Eintracht Frankfurt side. Coach Ole Werner will need to rely on his remaining defenders to step up and fill the void left by Jung’s injury. This includes Marco Friedl, Amos Pieper, and Niklas Stark, who need to be solid against Eintracht’s relentless attack.

No suspensions have been reported for Werder Bremen.
