Bundesliga - Werder ahead of important weeks: "Can set the direction"
After the clear defeat against leaders Bayer Leverkusen, Werder Bremen coach Ole Werner has described the remaining games this year as crucial for the rest of the season. "As I see it, the games towards Christmas are extremely important for us and can also set the tone," said Werner on Thursday. "Even if you include the Bochum game in January. We're all aware of the importance of the next few games," said the Werder coach.
Werder play host to surprise third-placed VfB Stuttgart on Saturday (18:30/Sky). They then face FC Augsburg, Borussia Mönchengladbach and RB Leipzig before the first half of the season ends in January 2024 with a game at VfL Bochum.
There will be no major changes in terms of personnel compared to the Leverkusen game, especially as Amos Pieper will be missing another player for a long time after breaking his ankle. The absence of the central defender will probably force Bremen to become active on the transfer market once again during the winter break. "We will sit down together and think about it. Also with regard to a transfer in the winter break," said Head of Professional Football Clemens Fritz.
