Werder Bremen Looks to Bounce Back Against Union Berlin
Werder Bremen's coach Horst Steffen expressed satisfaction with his team's login response following a 2-2 draw with 1. FC Heidenheim. He praised the precision and intensity, which he felt were lacking in the match. The teams look forward to a reunion with former players Oliver Burke and Derrick Köhn when they face 1. FC Union Berlin on Friday.
Steffen's teams will welcome back defender Niklas Stark, who has recovered from hip problems. Midfielder Senne Lynen is also set to return after missing the Heidenheim match. However, midfielder Isaac Schmidt remains sidelined with a foot injury and will not feature against Union Berlin.
Striker Victor Boniface will likely start on the bench, but Steffen believes he offers an edge over forward Keke Topp. A win against Union Berlin could see Werder leapfrog their opponents in the table.
Werder Bremen heads into the Union Berlin clash with a mix of positives and negatives. The return of key players like Stark and Lynen boosts the squad, while Schmidt's absence is a setback. The teams aim to capitalise on the reunion with former players Burke and Köhn, seeking a crucial victory to climb the table.
