Overview

• Wöber left the field in the 79th minute of Werder’s DFB-Pokal loss at Arminia Bielefeld after experiencing right-thigh discomfort.
• The club’s medical staff diagnosed a muscular right-thigh injury with an estimated recovery window of up to two months.
• The 27-year-old Austrian joined Werder on loan from Leeds United this summer as one of just two new signings.
• Olivier Deman, who replaced Wöber against Bielefeld, will assume the left-back role during his rehabilitation.
• Werder has declined to sign a direct replacement, compounding defensive depth concerns alongside injuries to Mitchell Weiser and Jens Stage.
