In Werder Bremen’s final home game of the season, fans bid farewell to club legend Frank Baumann after nearly 25 years at the club. The former captain and current managing director was honored before the match against Bochum with warm words, flowers, and a collage. Players like Christian Groß, Jiri Pavlenka, and Nick Woltemade, who are leaving the team, also received recognition.
The future of right-back Mitchell Weiser remains uncertain, with the player set to decide whether to extend his contract with Werder or move on. The club is prepared for either outcome, with a bouquet ready to be presented if needed before kick-off. Coach Clemens Fritz expects a decision to be made before the game starts, aiming for clarity on Weiser’s future.
Despite calls for a farewell match for Pavlenka after seven years at the club, goalkeeper Zetterer will start the game as Werder aims to end the season strongly. Additionally, loanee Skelly Alvero is back from injury and discussions are ongoing with Lyon regarding his future. The match concluded with Werder Bremen defeating Bochum 2-1 at home.
