Maximilian Wober
28-Year-Old
Werder Bremen
Bundesliga
Back on bench
Wober (calf) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Hamburger.
ANALYSIS
Wober passed his late fitness assessment after coach Daniel Thioune confirmed he would make a final call following Friday's training session, recovering in time to earn a spot in the squad despite a lengthy layoff that had come with a few minor setbacks along the way. The staff opted to take a cautious approach given how long he has been out, easing the defender back into the defensive rotation with a bench role rather than throwing him straight into the starting lineup. His return to full fitness will be monitored closely in the coming fixtures.

Late fitness call Saturday
Wober (calf) is nearing a return but is a late call for Saturday's clash against Hamburger, according to coach Daniel Thioune. "We are trying to gradually get them used to competition again in training. Max's layoff has been very long, so it is inevitable that there will be a few minor issues. We are closely monitoring his progress. We are not ruling any player out. If he has an opportunity and adapts well, he could return to competition. I will assess things again tomorrow after the final training session."

Still out for time being
Wober (hamstring) is nearing a return to competition but remains out for the time being, coach Horst Steffen said in the press conference. "Max is naturally disappointed. Against St. Pauli, he thought he could bounce back. In the end, it's probably just a short absence. Nevertheless, his unavailability is a blow for us, because his contribution is very positive."
