Mitchell Weiser
32-Year-Old
Werder Bremen
Bundesliga
GTD
Injury Knee
Est. Return 8/30/2026
Trains with team Tuesday
Weiser (knee) is back in team training Tuesday, according to the club.
ANALYSIS
Weiser has been working toward a comeback since tearing his ACL in July 2025, a recovery that was further complicated by a meniscus injury and recent muscular problems that had him doing indoor work. His return to training is a positive step, though he remains a doubt for the Bundesliga season opener, with head of professional football Peter Niemeyer previously saying the club expects he won't yet be fully ready when competitive games start. That said, once back to full fitness, he should hold a starting role for Bremen in the back line in 2026/27.

Doubtful for season opener
Weiser is a serious doubt for season opener after suffering a setback in his recovery from a torn ACL, with a meniscus injury slowing his return. Bremen's head of professional football Peter Niemeyer said, according to Bild. "It takes time to build him up. Currently, he's training indoors with muscular problems. It'll still take a while before he has match fitness. We're assuming he won't be there yet when the competitive games start."

Might not play again this season
Weiser (knee) might not play again this season, according to manager Daniel Thioune. "Nothing new has happened, and he doesn't have any major knee problems. His body is reacting to the strain, and it doesn't make sense for him to participate in training," Thioune explained. "We hope Mitchell will return soon, and we're not ruling anything out, but I don't think he'll be back on the pitch for a competitive match this season."
