Chelsea flop Djilobodji unsure of Werder Bremen stay

Papy Djilobodji admits he does not know what the future holds for him.

The 27-year-old defender joined German club Werder Bremen on loan from Chelsea last month following a horror first half of the 2015/16 season at Stamford Bridge.

Djilobodji received just one minute of playing time with the Blues after joining from French club Nantes for £4million in the summer but has already notched five full matches for Bremen since moving temporarily to the Weserstadion.

Regarding his future as Die Werdeaner, Djilobodji says he does not know what will happen beyond his initial loan stint.

"I concentrate on playing the season to end and then we can see," he told the Weser-Kurier.

However, Bremen sporting director Thomas Eichin would love for Djilobodji to remain on a temporary basis for longer if Chelsea were to go down that path.

He said: "We would be in the game."

But if Chelsea wanted to sell permanently, it is believed that Bremen would not be able to afford the 12-time Senegal international.
