The Bremen striker proved key in a big win while the teenage attacker linked up with new teammate Michy Batshuayi in a Dortmund win
Aron Johannsson has not had the best of times at Werder Bremen.
Injuries limited him severely last season, and he has spent most of this campaign out of the first team. There had been some signs of progress lately, as he had made benches in January, and grabbed a couple of cameo appearances.
While not much, it was a step in the right direction from not being in the 18. And a bigger opportunity finally knocked for Johannsson on Saturday as he was called upon as a substitute in the 54th minute against Schalke for what looked set to be his longest outing in the Bundesliga this season — not difficult to top given he had not gone more than seven minutes in any league outing.
