SV Werder Bremen forward Salim Musah has suffered a severe left thigh injury while on international duty with the Germany U20 national team, sidelining the 20-year-old for the coming months according to an announcement by the club on September 29, 2026.
A Significant Setback for Werder Bremen
The exact medical diagnosis for the left thigh injury has not been made public, but Werder Bremen confirmed that the player will not be available again until the new year. Head coach Daniel Thioune expressed his disappointment over the development in a club statement reported by outlets including Transfermarkt and DeichStube, calling it a bitter pill for both the player and the team following Musah’s steady development. Club medical staff are currently consulting with the German Football Association (DFB) medical department to determine the next steps for his rehabilitation, while the club pledged full support during his recovery.
Musah’s Career Progression and Current Season
Born in Oldenburg, Musah has played for the Bremen since 2017. He made his professional Bundesliga debut during the previous campaign on the 26th matchday against Mainz 05, making 12 total appearances and scoring his first league goal in a 1-2 defeat against RB Leipzig. In the current season, the right-footed attacker has featured in four matches off the bench and remained unused as a substitute once. Transfermarkt values the player at 2 million euros, with his contract running through June 30, 2028. At the international level, he has earned three caps for Germany’s U20 side, most recently appearing in a 1-0 victory over France shortly before sustaining the injury.
