Felix Agu returns to Werder Bremen training

Felix Agu has returned to training with German Bundesliga side Werder Bremen after being sidelined for one month due to injury.

Agu, along with teammate Samuel Mbangula, joined the first-team squad for training on Thursday. However, nine players remained absent from the session as the team prepares for their upcoming home game against Mainz.

Werder Bremen head coach Daniel Thioune recently hinted at the duo’s comeback but remained cautious regarding their involvement in Sunday’s fixture.

Injury update

While Mbangula has been struggling with a thigh injury, Agu is gradually increasing his workload following an adductor problem.

Agu’s return to the pitch marks the end of a frustrating “stop-start” period for the defender. After recovering from a serious four-month layoff due to a syndesmosis ligament injury—which required surgery and caused him to miss the 2025 AFCON—he suffered a cruel setback during the pre-match warm-up against St. Pauli on February 22, 2026.

The Nigerian international, who was left out of the Super Eagles’ squad for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations due to his previous long-term injury, will be hoping to maintain his fitness as the season reaches its final stretch.
