No easy weeks for Werder’s Christian Groß (32) after being sent off in the North Derby (0: 2) and the knee injury that will cripple him for weeks …
But his future is now clear! The Bremen-based company has extended the contract, which will expire in summer 2022. A vote of confidence from the club in the veteran.
Manager Frank Baumann (45): “With the early contract extension, we would also like to give him a bit of security so that he can concentrate fully on his rehab process and return to the field strengthened.”
Werder did not provide any information about the new term. Groß had made a magical rise at Werder when he made his Bundesliga debut as a U23 captain at the tender age of 30 and signed his first professional contract last year.
Groß has been a leading player since relegation, is a member of the team council and recently even wore the captain’s armband. The defensive man: “I’m looking forward to everything that comes with Werder in the future.”
