Yukinari Sugawara Injury: Late call against Freiburg

Sugawara is a late call for Saturday's clash against Freiburg due to a shoulder injury, coach Horst Steffen said in the press conference.

Sugawara is dealing with a shoulder injury and will be a late call for Saturday's clash against Freiburg. The right-back still has two training sessions to test his sensations and determine if he can make the squad on Saturday. That said, if Sugawara has to miss the game, it would be a big blow for Bremen since he is an undisputed starter in the backline, and his absence would force a change in the starting squad with Isaac Schmidt as a possible option to start at right-back.
