Ömer Toprak is still yet to get back to training with the ball. Instead the defender is continuing to work on a comeback to proper training. "I feel okay and I'm constantly getting better and better," reported Toprak to werder.de during a rehab session. 

 

At the beginning of March, in the cup game against Eintracht Frankfurt, the 30-year-old suffered a ligament injury in addition to a laceration on the calf, which forced him to wear a special shoe. After several weeks, Toprak can now finally take the shoe off. "Now I'm working on mobility," reported Toprak from rehabilitation training. Strength and endurance training are now on the menu for Werder's number 21 as he looks to make a full recovery and get back into shape.

It took the US international less than two minutes to score on his Werder debut against Fortuna Düsseldorf on Friday evening. In doing so, he set a new club record, having also scored on his Werder U23 debut against Eintracht Norderstedt. The young striker also has a similar record for his national side,…

Aerial Prowess

Good in the air: Werder’s best moment against Bayern was undoubtedly Yuya Osako’s header from Max Kruse’s wonderful cross.

He isn’t the tallest player in the squad, but he’s certainly been showing his…

Family feel in starting XI

For the first time: On Sunday, two brothers started a Bundesliga match for Werder Bremen for the first time. Maxi and Jojo Eggestein had been on the pitch at the same time together several times, and even both scored in the first round of the DFB-Pokal, but they hadn’t started together.
