Option against Leipzig

Stark (strain) is an option for Saturday's clash against Leipzig, according to the club.

Analysis: Stark had missed the Bundesliga opener against Freiburg after being unable to take part in the final training session due to a muscular issue, with Marco Friedl and Amos Pieper starting together in central defense in his absence. His return to availability now gives Werder Bremen another option in defense heading into this match.

Ruled out for opener

Stark (strain) is unavailable for Sunday's Bundesliga opener against Freiburg.

Analysis: Stark misses the opening match after being unable to take part in Werder's final team training session due to the muscular issue. The center-back had been working individually as the club attempted to manage the problem but hasn't recovered sufficiently to make the squad. Marco Friedl and Amos Pieper start together in central defense in his absence, leaving Stark to focus on returning to contention for the upcoming fixtures.
