Werder Bremen are looking to extend the contract of Mitchell Weiser, who has yet to make an appearance this season due to a serious injury.

The Green-Whites are keen to keep the right-back, whose current deal expires this summer.

"We are aware of Mitch’s importance to the team and have signaled to his side that we would like to extend the contract," Werder sporting director Clemens Fritz told Deichstube.

Weiser tore his cruciate ligament in mid-July and is still working his way back to full fitness.

The 31-year-old was a key player for Werder prior to the injury, scoring 14 goals and providing 29 assists for the club in 123 games.
