Werder Bremen are facing fresh injury concerns ahead of their crucial Bundesliga Nordderby against Hamburger, with Super Eagles right-back Felix Agu rated as doubtful after missing the club’s final training session on Friday.

The German-born Nigerian defender was unable to take part in full team training on Friday, instead completing an individual indoor programme at the Weser Stadium after reporting muscular problems.

According to updates from Weder Bremen\s official website, Agu is suffering from muscular problems, a recurring issue that has disrupted his season.

Medical staff are currently assessing the severity of the problem, and it remains unclear whether he will recover in time to feature in Saturday’s high-stakes derby at the Weserstadion.

Agu’s potential absence would be a significant setback for Werder Bremen, who are already managing multiple fitness concerns during a difficult campaign.

The 26-year-old has struggled with consistency this season due to repeated injury setbacks, including previous spells on the sidelines with muscular and ligament-related issues.

Head coach Daniel Thioune is expected to make a late decision on Agu’s availability after further medical evaluation and a fitness test closer to kick-off.

The club is said to be cautious, given the player’s recent injury history and the importance of avoiding long-term complications.

Werder Bremen enter the North Derby under pressure to secure a positive result as they continue their battle for stability in the Bundesliga standings.

Losing a key defensive option like Agu could force tactical adjustments, particularly on the right flank where his pace and defensive discipline have been important.
