Karl Jakob Hein, the Estonian national team's first-choice goalkeeper, has confirmed he will not return to play for Bremen Werder in the current season. The club announced on social media that Hein suffered a serious arm injury during a training session on Thursday, preventing him from supporting the team for the remainder of the season. The team expressed their wishes for a speedy recovery for the player.

On loan from Arsenal, Hein has struggled for playing time even before his injury, as he has primarily been overshadowed by the team's first-choice keeper, Mio Backhaus. Throughout the Bundesliga season, he only appeared in two matches, which reflects the challenges he faced in securing a regular spot in the starting lineup.

In related news, Bremen Werder managed to secure a 1-0 victory against Wolfsburg last Saturday, improving their standings slightly and moving away from the relegation zone, having won three out of their last four matches. Meanwhile, fellow Estonian player Karol Metsa’s team, St. Pauli, is set to host Freiburg on Sunday, continuing the busy soccer schedule in the German league.
