Werder Bremen's Olivier Deman Suffers Training Ankle Injury, Ruled Out of Opener

The setback deepens a thin back line already hit by injuries.

Overview

  • The wing-back collided with a goalpost during Thursday's session and clutched his right ankle.
  • Club staff described an unspecified ankle injury, and he will miss Saturday's trip to Eintracht Frankfurt.
  • He received on-pitch treatment, departed on a golf cart with the ankle bandaged, and did not finish the training game.
  • Head coach Horst Steffen said a precise diagnosis is pending and indicated the issue appears more serious.
  • The absence compounds defensive losses with Mitchell Weiser, Maximilian Wöber and Amos Pieper already out, while Felix Agu continued after treatment.
