Samuel Mbangula missed SV Werder Bremen’s 1-0 defeat at Bayer 04 Leverkusen for personal reasons. The 22-year-old did not travel to Leverkusen, although he had previously been considered an option for the starting eleven. Physical problems or sporting reasons played no role.
Rather, it was a short-term absence with no longer-term effects. Managing director Clemens Fritz then made it clear that Mbangula should be available again soon: “I assume so,” said Fritz, with a view to the upcoming catch-up game.
The signs are good that Mbangula can be an option for the matchday squad again on Tuesday against TSG Hoffenheim.
