Chelsea forward Mara Alber will spend the rest of the season on loan at Werder Bremen after the Blues made the big decision to send the striker out in order to get some much needed game time.
The Blues posted on the club website: ‘The 20-year-old joined CHELSEA in the summer from TSG Hoffenheim and played just over an hour in a friendly against Ajax in pre-season, but is yet to make her full debut for the Blues.
‘Alber is a versatile forward who can play on either flank or through the middle and is a regular for the Germany Under-23 national team.
‘Having made her name at Hoffenheim, the youngster now returns to her native Germany in the Frauen-Bundesliga as she looks to gain playing time.
‘Everyone at CHELSEA wishes Mara every success with Werder Bremen, and we look forward to seeing her progress during the second half of the season’.
“We are very pleased that we were able to bring Mara, another German U23 attacking talent, into our ranks. The wing was also thinly staffed overall due to the absence of Tuana Mahmoud, so we are happy to be able to realise this loan,” explains Birte Brüggemann, Head of Girls’ and Women’s Football at SV Werder.
Head coach Fritzy Kromp also sees the striker as a great reinforcement: “Mara is an absolute top talent and one of the greatest young hopes in German football. Mara made her debut for TSG Hoffenheim in the Women’s Bundesliga at the age of 16 and has since been able to prove herself on both the national and international stages.
‘She is a versatile attacking player who likes to look for one-on-one duels with her dynamism and also brings a lot of goal threat with her finishing skills. We are therefore very happy that Mara has decided to go to Werder despite some options.”
The striker said: “I’m really looking forward to the upcoming time at Werder. I was already able to work with Fritzy Kromp in the U17 national team. Their trust was very important to me in the decision to go to Bremen.
‘I hope that I can contribute to achieving all my sporting goals and that I can also develop personally in order to ultimately make my breakthrough at Chelsea. I would like to thank everyone involved who made this loan possible,”
