Boniface Doubtful for Bremen; Iwobi Out Against Arsenal

Werder Bremen head coach Daniel Thioun has indicated that striker Boniface may miss the upcoming Bundesliga fixture against FC Augsburg due to ongoing concerns following a knee injury. Boniface, who joined the club on loan in the summer, recently returned to training after a challenging injury-hit campaign but was not included in Bremen's 1-1 draw against VfB Stuttgart.

Thioun noted that the competition for places in the squad has intensified with the return of players like Marco Friedl. The final decision on Boniface's inclusion will depend on his performance in training leading up to the match.

Meanwhile, Fulham's manager Marco Silva confirmed that midfielder Alex Iwobi will be sidelined for the match against Arsenal due to a hamstring injury sustained during Fulham's goalless draw with Brentford. Iwobi has made 27 league appearances this season, scoring four goals and providing three assists.
