SV Werder Bremen will have to do without Jean Manuel Mbom for several months. The midfielder suffered a torn Achilles tendon in his left foot during training on Saturday and is therefore not available for coach Ole Werner this season or at the start of the new season, as the second division club announced on Saturday.

“I’m so sorry for Manuel. For him it is now important that the operation goes well and that he then gets all the support and time in his rehabilitation from us,” said Werner.
