BremenReturns to team training
Pieper is back with Werder Bremen after returning to training Tuesday, having missed the friendly against Auxerre due to illness, the club posted.
Analysis: Pieper's return puts him back on track ahead of Saturday's German Cup match at Luneburger SK Hansa, giving the club timely clarity on his availability for that fixture. The 28-year-old defender's illness appears to have been a brief interruption rather than anything more serious given his quick return to full training. Pieper is expected to be in contention for selection this weekend now that he's back working with the group. His timing works out well as Werder finalize their preparations for the cup opener.
Imperious defending in win
Pieper generated 10 clearances and one interception in Saturday's 1-0 defeat against Hoffenheim.
Analysis: Pieper led the 10-man Werder Bremen defensive effort Saturday with 10 clearances in a 1-0 defeat to Hoffenheim. Across his last five appearances (five starts), the central defender has averaged 5.4 clearances and 1.2 blocks per appearance while playing the full 90 minutes in each match. Pieper has now been named to the starting XI in six successive fixtures, following a seven-week injury absence during which he missed nine matches.
