BremenScores, assists in win
Grull scored one goal and assisted once from five shots and two chances created in Saturday's 3-1 victory over RB Leipzig.
Analysis: Grull turned in another stellar performance for Werder Bremen on Saturday, recording a goal and an assist to contribute to two of the team's three goals. He now has one goal and two assists through the first two matches, already surpassing his assist total from last season in an encouraging start for the winger.
Sets up goal on Sunday
Grull assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), eight crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Sunday's 4-1 defeat against SC Freiburg.
Analysis: Grull set up Dariusz Stalmach's consolation with a well taken corner in the 76th minute. Grull registered the most crosses in the game, created two chances and also made four tackles, one clearance, one interception and one block. He has now assisted in the opening game for two seasons in a row and coincidentally, Bremen have lost both games 4-1.
Four crosses in 2-0 defeat
Grull recorded one shot (one on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 2-0 defeat to Borussia Dortmund.
Analysis: Grull attempted four crosses as his side fell to a 2-0 defeat to Borussia Dortmund. He came on as a second-half sub but wasn't able to provide an assist. He hasn't started any of the last five Bremen games, but has taken a shot in his last three appearances as a sub.
Suspension served
Grull could play again following a one-match Bundesliga suspension.
Analysis: Grull has been an occasional offensive contributor on the wings, although he dropped to a bench spot in his last contest before the ban. He'll challenge Jovan Milosevic and Jens Stage for playing time in the future, looking to improve on his league averages of 1.3 shots (0.4 on goal) and 1.1 chances created per game.
