SV Werder Bremen will have to do without Mitchell Weiser for the time being. The 27-year-old tested positive for Corona and will not be travelling to the training camp in Spain.
Mitchell Weiser is still not getting going at SV Werder Bremen. Now the player on loan from Bayer Leverkusen has fallen ill with the Corona virus and is already in domestic isolation. “Mitch has had symptoms for a few days and will initially have to stay in quarantine for 14 days,” Werder’s head of professional football, Clemens Fritz, was quoted as saying in the club news: “It is therefore clear that he will not be travelling with us to the training camp. “
“We hope, of course, that he has a mild course “
It is an open secret that Weiser has so far refused to be vaccinated against the virus. Asked about this publicly on 8 December, Fritz replied: “Of course we are in communication. But this is also a personal decision. We will not exert and build up pressure.” Werder did not consider an early end to the loan at the time.
For Werder, Weiser’s guest appearance has not yet paid off. He had already had to go into quarantine twice towards the end of the Hinrunde as an unvaccinated contact. “We hope, of course, that he has a mild course and can soon rejoin the team,” said Fritz. The 2017 U-21 European champion has also not played a major role in sport so far. He made eleven appearances in the first half of the season, six times in the starting eleven. Felix Agu is clearly ahead of the pack on the right wing.
