Bremer Stormer Search Continues - Anxiety About Backhaus in Goal - Werder Bremen’s attack in crisis as Boniface’s future hangs in balance
Werder Bremen faces growing concerns over its attacking options as the club prepares for the upcoming match against 1899 Hoffenheim. A decision on Victor Boniface’s future is due today after a specialist examines his troubled knee. Meanwhile, the team struggles with a lack of goals and limited squad depth.
The club has yet to sign a new striker, despite actively searching for reinforcements. Financial constraints have slowed progress, and potential target Damion Downs recently chose to join Hamburger SV instead. With no last-minute signings expected, Bremen will likely rely on its current players for the first three matches of 2024.
So far this season, the team has managed just 18 goals in 15 league games. Strikers Keke Topp and Victor Boniface, both key figures, have failed to score a single goal. Boniface’s situation remains uncertain, with reports suggesting he may never play for Bremen again due to ongoing knee problems. In better news, goalkeeper Mio Backhaus could return for the Hoffenheim clash, provided his eye injury heals in time. However, the absence of a new attacker leaves Bremen’s forward line stretched as they enter a crucial phase of the season.
The club now waits for today’s medical assessment of Boniface, which will clarify his long-term prospects. Without fresh signings, Bremen’s attack remains thin, forcing the team to depend on its existing squad. The next few matches will test their ability to cope with limited options up front.
