+++Working towards a comeback: Aron Jóhannsson returned to the Weser from his rehabilitation in Iceland this week but hasn’t stopped training. The Werder attacker made his way to the Weser Stadion on Thursday to complete an individual training program, aimed at getting him back to first-team training as quickly as possible. He wasn’t alone though, as Sambou Yatabaré, who was injured against Stuttgart three matches before the end of last season, was also working on his recovery and was working within the stadium. Substitute goalkeeper Raphael Wolf is also working his way back to fitness.+++

He has been pulling on the green-white of Werder for thirteen years during his time in the youth teams and after his jump up to the first-team squad.

Recently, the 23-year-old made his comeback after a year on the sidelines due to injury in the decisive match against Eintracht Frankfurt last season.

At this point, I would like to thank Werder and all the Werder fans – you have been amazing.” We wish you all the best in Düsseldorf and plenty of ‘fortune’ in the next chapter of your career.+++
