Suffers hip injury
Stark is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Freiburg due to a hip injury, coach Horst Steffen said in the press conference.
ANALYSIS
Stark won't be available for Saturday's clash against Freiburg after suffering a hip injury in training. This is a big blow for Bremen since the center-back is an undisputed starter and his absence will force a change in the backline. Abdoul-Karim Coulibaly and Marco Friedl are expected to pair in central defense while Stark is out.
