Verena Lisa Wieder (born 26 June 2000) is a German footballer who plays as a midfielder for Frauen-Bundesliga club Werder Bremen.[2] She was youth international for Germany on several selection levels.
Throughout her career, Wieder repeatedly suffered with anterior cruciate ligament injuries. In 2020, while playing for SC Freiburg, she tore the cruciate ligament in her right knee, this was then made worse when she suffered a bacterial infection to the same knee.[3]
In 2022, while at Bayer Leverkusen, she injured her cruciate ligament again.[4] In March 2023, after a 387-day absence, she returned from injury to play for Bayer Leverkusen against her former club SC Freiburg.[5]
In the 2023–24 season, Wieder scored the equalizer in the 93rd minute in the home game against RB Leipzig, bringing the final score to 1–1.[6]
On 1 May 2024, Frauen-Bundesliga rivals Werder Bremen announced that Wieder had signed for the 2024–25 season, making her the club's second signing for the new season after Sharon Beck.[7]
