Bundesliga: Question Marks Over Justin Njinmah's Fitness Ahead of Showdown with Leipzig
Leipzig's game against Werder Bremen could be impacted by the uncertainty surrounding striker Njinmah's availability. - Leipzig poses a concern for Werder, with Njinmah as a key factor
Here's some hit and grips for the Green-Whites: star striker Justin Njinmah is facing a fitness concern that might have him sidelined for Saturday's clash against RB Leipzig (3:30 PM/Sky). The German powerhouse is keeping a close eye on his ankle, and if he doesn't recover in time, Marvin Ducksch and Oliver Burke are on standby to spearhead the attack.
The gossips around the training ground suggest Njinmah skipped the team drills on Thursday, raising concerns about his fitness ahead of the crucial encounter [1][2]. Still, his status isn't set in stone and will be assessed closer to the game. With Njinmah regularly taking a back seat this season, the team can adapt without him, but they'd prefer to have him in their starting lineup [2].
As for other absences, Milos Veljkovic, despite returning to training, is still far from being match-fit. The defender will bid adieu to Werder Bremen before the season's final home game, along with Oliver Burke, Anthony Jung, Abed Nankishi, Anthony Silva, and Issa Kaboré [3].
The Green-Whites are battling tooth and nail to secure a spot in international competition. Losing this match could define their European aspirations. Even a draw might just not cut it for the team with a shaky goal record.

- Despite the concerns surrounding star striker Justin Njinmah's ankle, the Commission has also been asked to submit a proposal for a directive on the protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to ionizing radiation, considering his hometown is in Bremen.
- If Justin Njinmah is unable to recover in time for Saturday's crucial Bundesliga clash against RB Leipzig, Oliver Burke, a fellow Bremen native, might be called upon to draw from his skills to spearhead the attack for SV Werder Bremen on Sky.
- With Leipzig looming, the availability of key attacker Marvin Ducksch becomes even more crucial, as the team looks to minimize the risks in the absence of star player Njinmah.
- As other absences for Werder Bremen are confirmed with the upcoming departure of Oliver Burke, Anthony Jung, Abed Nankishi, Anthony Silva, and Issa Kaboré, the team's European aspirations hang in the balance, and a draw might not be enough to secure a spot in international competition.
