BremenExits with calf issue
Stage was withdrawn from Saturday's 1-0 preseason loss to Auxerre after a calf cramp caused by a blow to the muscle, according to coach Daniel Thioune, per DeichStube. "He substituted himself"
Analysis: Stage flagged the issue himself by kicking the ball out of play, and Thioune expressed confidence there's no structural damage, attributing part of the discomfort to the intense workload players have taken on during the recent training camp. The midfielder is expected to be sidelined only briefly and should be ready in time for the start of the season. Stage is expected to continue his recovery as Werder Bremen's preseason wraps up.
Takes two shots
Stage took two off target shots and created a chance during Saturday's 3-1 loss to Augsburg.
Analysis: Stage was held off the scoresheet while finishing with the second most shots on the team. The midfielder has combined for three goals, nine shots and two chances created over his last three appearances.
Remains in form
Stage scored a goal while taking four shots (two on goal), crossing once inaccurately and creating a chance during Sunday's 1-1 draw with Stuttgart.
Analysis: Stage opened the scoring in the 18th minute while leading Bremen with his four shots in the match. The midfielder has three goals and seven shots in his last two matches since returning from a three match absence due to an undisclosed injury.
