Injury puts Ducksch’s proposed summer transfer in doubt

Marvin Ducksch has suffered an injury, which means he may not leave Werder Bremen after all.

At the end of last season, it looked like Marvin Ducksch had played his last game for Werder Bremen, with reports suggesting he would likely be sold during the summer.

However, according to Bild, the 31-year-old striker has suffered a muscle injury that will keep him sidelined until August, casting doubt on his proposed move.

Werder were reportedly hoping to receive a transfer fee of between €2–3 million for Ducksch, but the German tabloid now considers a move for that amount unlikely given the injury.

In fact, it’s now unclear if the striker will leave the Green-Whites at all. For now, at least, it appears he will stay.

“As things stand, Marvin will still be a Werder Bremen player on September 2,” said Werder’s head of professional football, Peter Niemeyer.

“If something comes in, we’ll look at it,” he added.

Stade Rennes and Panathinaikos are among the clubs that have been linked with a move for Ducksch, who has one year left on his contract.
