First season back he got 16 goals in 40 games across all comps...that's not a bad return, especially as he also assisted a few (3 in the Bundesliga). This season he's only played 8 times in the league, of which 2 were starts, and his average GT isn't even a half hour. Still bagged a couple goals.
It's been tough for him cause he's missed a lot of games through injuries them past 2 years...done his back, ankle, adductors...also had Covid & subsequent shockwaves.
But mainly, they've signed that Xavi Simons kid on loan from PSG and as he's a left-sided AM/winger, well he's taken Werner's minutes. Up top they've also signed Openda and that Sesko lad United & Chavs are said to be after...they've both been playing, scoring (for fun in Openda's case) so tough to drop them. Poulsen gets more mins than Werner as a sub, even Forsberg got more gametime before he left.
Think the lad has just been a bit unlucky, a move to us could do him some good. But his injury record, more than his lacks of goals & confidence, is the major concern...
