- Werder confirmed he completed rehab in Leverkusen and will be eased into sessions with the squad only if his knee tolerates the load.
- Club officials had expected his season to be over in winter, yet his progress has reopened the chance of minutes late in the run-in.

- Boniface is on loan from Bayer Leverkusen, has played 11 games for Werder without scoring, and last featured on December 7.
