Overview

• The club scrapped the newly arranged match set for 5 September in Oldenburg during the international break.
• The cancellation came a day after the agreement to play second-tier Preußen Münster.
• CEO Clemens Fritz said a meaningful test was not possible and expressed hope to reschedule at Oldenburg’s Marschwegstadion.
• Several Werder professionals will be on national-team duty in early September, with five more currently sidelined by injury.
• Gaps at forward and wide roles remain unfilled in the market, and Olivier Deman’s ankle injury increased the urgency for reinforcements.
