Naby Keita Returns to Training Ahead of Wolfsburg Clash
Werder Bremen's Naby Keïta (28) graced the pitch for the team's final training session ahead of the Wolfsburg match on Sunday (15:30/DAZN). Contrasting his previous absence, the Guinea international completed the entire session without apparent trouble.
Although Keïta isn't a certainty for Wolfsburg, the summer signing might rejoin the squad for the following home game against Eintracht Frankfurt (November 12, 5.30pm).
Keïta Returns to Training
Bremen's roster has faced two lengthy absences of the ex-Liverpool star. During his highly anticipated debut in the opening section against Hoffenheim (2:3), he exited the pitch injured after 59 minutes. The diagnosis: ripped muscle fibers!
Currently, the priority is to ensure Keïta remains injury-free post-recovery. Coach Clemens Fritz recently hinted, "We're not ruling out his potential return before the international break." Provided the midfielder navigates the coming week's training sessions unscathed, then Frankfurt becomes a realistic target.
In contrast, striker Dawid Kownacki (26) did not participate in team training on Saturday, attributed to illness. Consequently, he will miss the Wolfsburg encounter, making it his second consecutive game absent.
Leo Bittencourt (29), on the other hand, participated in the training session, despite having to withdraw the previous day due to a bleeding nose. Dressed with a face mask, Bittencourt saw no complications during the final session, indicating he will likely wear it in Wolfsburg.
- Naby Keita's potential return to the squad for the game against Eintracht Frankfurt remains a possibility, assuming his injury recovery continues without complications.
- Despite a torn muscle fiber injury, Keïta has shown no signs of struggle during recent team training sessions.
- New signing, Dawid Kownacki, will miss the Wolfsburg game due to illness, resulting in his second consecutive match absence.
- Leo Bittencourt, despite a previous injury, participated in team training, sporting a face mask to protect his nose, signifying his readiness for the Wolfsburg encounter.
