31-year-old faces several months on the sidelines

Mitchell Weiser and SV Werder Bremen suffered a bitter blow in training on Wednesday afternoon as the winger sustained a serious knee injury. An MRI scan at the Paracelsus Clinic confirmed a tear of the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, as diagnosed by team doctor Dr. Philip Heitmann. As a result, Weiser will be out of action for several months. The precise treatment and rehabilitation plan will be determined over the coming days.

“This news hits us all hard. It’s a tough blow, both personally and from a sporting perspective,” said head coach Horst Steffen. “I feel incredibly sorry for Mitch. As a team and as a club, we’ll do everything we can to support him on his road to recovery and get him back into the squad as soon as possible.”
