SV Werder Bremen will be without Justin Njinmah during the coming weeks. The attacker picked up an ankle injury away in Mainz during a 2-1 win on matchday 3 after being fouled inside the box. The foul resulted in a penalty, which Marvin Ducksch converted to put Werder ahead, before Njinmah had to be subbed off shortly after.
The results of an MRI on Monday deterined that Njinmah will be sidelined for four to six weeks with a ligament injury. "It's bad news for us and especially for Justin. After having been out injured for a while at the end of last season, he had just managed to get back to full fitness. We will wholly support him as he works to get back to the pitch," said head coach Ole Werner.
