Jens Stage out for months ahead of Bundesliga kickoff

Werder Bremen have been dealt a blow ahead of the Bundesliga: according to kicker, Jens Stage suffered a serious injury shortly before the league gets underway.

The key issue is the length of time he’ll miss. As the outlet reports, his absence will last for months, ruling him out for a large stretch of the campaign right as the season begins.

A setback for the season start

With the competition just about to kick off, the loss of Stage forces the coach to rethink the midfield setup. His injury removes continuity and disrupts the balance the team can rely on in the center of the park.

What remains to be confirmed

For now, kicker doesn’t provide further specifics like the exact diagnosis or a more precise return date. What’s clear is that Werder’s plans early in the season will have to adapt to a multi-month spell on the sidelines.
