Werder Bremen loanee Roger Assalé is fighting for a place in the squad

Only six missions

“It was really annoying because Roger had a very good training week,” said Werder Bremen’s head of professional football Clemens Fritz, summing up Roger Assalé’s short-term ban from the squad last weekend before the game against Ingolstadt. “There are rules, you can’t be late on the day of the game. That’s why he wasn’t in the squad, the team clarifies the rest internally,” said Fritz of the “dyke room“. According to reports, the 28-year-old was also fined.

“We expect a reaction from him in training. He has to offer himself again now,” Fritz said on Tuesday to the “image“ and made the expectations of the player on loan from the French second division club Dijon FCO clear. The Ivorian, who recently only had the status of “number 5 striker” with the leaders of the 2nd Bundesliga, had already presented himself aggressively again in reservist training on Sunday – nevertheless, after the most recent error on the Weser, the signs are increasingly pointing to farewell.

In terms of sport, the attacker had never arrived at Werder after his move in the summer, so far he has only made six short appearances – the last one dates from November 2021. That Werder had the option to buy Assalé at the end of the season at the rumored rate of 2.5 Millions of euros will be at least questionable in the TM community. “I have no idea what else to say about the personnel, I don’t know the reasons, but all in all it’s getting sadder,” summarizes TM user “Platzwart_1” in the forum.

Well, according to Fritz the Diamond Eye, we’ll still have a lot of fun with him. Joking aside. I have no idea what else to say about the personnel, I don’t know the reasons, but all in all it’s getting sadder and sadder. I also just feel sorry for the player himself because he must have imagined his time at Werder Bremen differently and the potential was actually there. …

Werder: Coach Werner couldn’t blame Assalé a few weeks ago

He can’t blame Assalé for commitment, but “other guys are currently ahead by a nose”, head coach Ole Werner announced a few weeks ago with regard to the difficult situation of the offensive power – and thus alluded to the youngsters Eren Dinkci and Nick Woltemade , who are still ahead of Assalé in the internal ranking and behind the Bremen top duo Marvin Ducksch and Niclas Füllkrug.

At the weekend, Werder will face the northern derby at Hamburger SV (Sunday from 1:30 p.m. in the TM live ticker). It remains to be seen whether the right footer will take Fritz’s words to heart and, with good training performance, be able to fight for a new chance for Werner’s squad until then.
