Isak Hansen-Aaroen before loan: Werder wants to secure match practice!

A shocking dilemma for the talented Isak Hansen-Aaroen! The 20-year-old Norwegian, who only moved to Bremen from Manchester United in February, has not even set foot on the pitch this season. With zero appearances and a squad spot that doesn't bring him the glory he hoped for, the situation for Hansen-Aaroen is anything but rosy. Those responsible at SV Werder Bremen agree: things cannot continue like this!

“It is clear to all parties that Isak needs more playing time than he can currently get with us,” explains Peter Niemeyer, the head of professional football at Werder. The solution? A possible loan in the winter to give the young star some much-needed match practice. “In the next few weeks we will think together with Isak about whether a loan makes sense if there is no fundamental change in his situation,” he added. This is a clear call to action!

U23 as a short-term solution

The competition in Bremen's midfield is merciless! Romano Schmid, Jens Stage, Leonardo Bittencourt and Senne Lynen stand between Hansen-Aaroen and the pitch - and that makes the situation even more desperate for the young player. Just three short appearances in the Bundesliga with a total of 25 minutes of playing time are not enough for a player who is considered a great talent. In order to get him back into the game as quickly as possible, Werder plans to use him in the U23. “Appearances in our U23 could make sense at certain points,” says Niemeyer, while the hope of a loan is still in the air.

The clock is ticking! Hansen-Aaroen will not be in the squad for the Bundesliga game against Gladbach on Sunday, but he could be in the U23s' Regionalliga home game against VfB Lübeck. A loan could be the key to his development, but there are no concrete offers from interested clubs yet. The next few weeks could be crucial – for both Hansen-Aaroen and Werder Bremen!
