BremenBack available, unlikely to start
Agu (muscular) returned to team training this week and is back in contention for the squad, though coach Daniel Thioune has ruled out a starting role given the limited training time he has had. "We have to consider whether he can help us yet. He's only been back in training for a few days, so I'm ruling out him being a starter. We have to look at the squad composition to see how it makes sense to include him."
Analysis: Agu had missed three consecutive Bundesliga matches with a muscular issue, making his return to collective sessions a welcome development for Bremen heading into the final fixtures of the season. The left-back figures to ease back in from the bench rather than regaining his starting spot immediately, but his availability gives manager Thioune more defensive options to call upon as the campaign draws to a close. Olivier Deman is expected to keep the role at left-back.
Remains out
Agu (muscular) remains unavailable for Saturday's clash against Augsburg, according to coach Daniel Thioune. "Felix Agu remains unavailable."
Analysis: Agu's continued absence is another setback in what has been a difficult season on the injury front, having managed just 11 appearances so far this campaign. No return timeline has been provided, leaving his availability for the final fixtures of the season uncertain.
Could return against Augsburg
Agu (undisclosed) is questionable for Saturday's match against Augsburg, according to manager Daniel Thioune, per Malik Hanke of Deichstube. "With Felix, we will wait and see how the next few days go and whether he can perhaps start training partially integrated before Augsburg. "I will not be back in the medical round until tomorrow, so I will know more."
Analysis: Agu is still working for a comeback and could be an option as soon as this week, as the club tries to prepare him to face Augsburg. However, it appears it will still come down to some late testing, needing to train throughout the rest of the week. The midfielder has had a rough season with injuries this season and will hope to at least end the campaign fit, only appearing in 11 games so far.
Remains out for time being
Agu (muscular) didn't overcome his muscular problems and remains unavailable for selection, according to coach Daniel Thioune.
Analysis: Agu is ruled out for the time being with a muscular issue after sitting out the North Derby against Hamburger, and coach Thioune's comments suggest there is no imminent return in sight. Olivier Deman is expected to continue holding a larger role in his absence as Bremen push through the final fixtures of what has been a crucial Bundesliga season, with the club hoping to have Agu back in the fold before the campaign draws to a close.
