Impact Skhiri picked up a muscular injury before the international break, but is now back in the starting XI. The midfielder had plenty of time to return from injury and is right back in the starting XI. He will be a key part of the Koln midfield for the remainder of the season when healthy.

Dejan Ljubicic - Starting against Union berlin Ljubicic (illness) is in the starting XI for Friday's clash with Union Berlin.

Impact Ljubicic was in quarantine heading into the international break and has had plenty of time to recover. The midfielder is straight back in the starting XI and is fully available. Ljubicic should be set to go the full 90 after playing on international duty.

Tim Lemperle - Returns to bench Lemperle (illness) is on the bench for Friday's clash with Union Berlin.

Impact Lemperle is back on the bench after recovering from his flu over the international break. The forward is a non-existent fantasy option and isn't worth rostering in any formats.

APRIL 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Florian Kainz - Starting Friday Kainz (illness) is in the starting XI for Friday's clash with Union Berlin.

Impact Kainz returns to the starting XI after having the entirety of the international break to recover from an illness. The attacking midfielder will likely go the full 90 and is a solid fantasy option in the Koln attack.

APRIL 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Jonas Hector - Starting Friday Hector (illness) is in the starting XI for Friday's clash with Union Berlin.

Impact Hector had the entirety of the international break to recover from illness and he is in the starting XI. The defender should be a solid option at his normal role of left-back once more. Hector is a nailed-on starter when healthy.

APRIL 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Benno Erik Schmitz - Out with muscular issues Schmitz (strain) is out for Friday's clash with Union Berlin, according to manager Steffen Baumgart.

Impact Schmitz has picked up a muscular issue and will be out for Friday's clash with Union Berlin. The right-back could be replaced by Jannes-Killian Horn, especially if Jonas Hector is able to make his way back from injury. Schmitz will hope to return before a Saturday clash with Mainz.

Timo Horn - Dealing with flu Horn (illness) has the flu and could miss Friday's clash with Union Berlin, according to manager Steffen Baumgart.

Impact Horn has the flu and could miss Friday's clash, though Horn is no longer the first choice goal keeper in Koln. Marvin Schwabe will almost certainly be between the posts for Friday's trip to Union Berlin.

MARCH 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ondrej Duda - Suspended Friday Duda is suspended for Friday's clash with Union Berlin due to yellow card accumulation.

Impact Duda is suspended for Friday's match due to yellow card accumulation. The attacking midfielder will likely be replaced by Florian Kainz, though it's also possible that Koln go for a different formation.

MARCH 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Marvin Schwabe - Two saves for draw Schwabe made two saves during Sunday's 1-1 draw with Dortmund.

Impact Schwabe had a surprisingly easy time against Erling Haaland and co. The keeper wasn't overly tested and earned the draw with just two saves. Schwabe has an easier clash with Union Berlin to look forward to after the international break.

MARCH 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Jannes Horn - Creates two chances Horn created two chances on eight crosses during Sunday's one-all draw with Dortmund.

Impact Horn filled in for Jonas Hector once again, and once again, he was excellent in relief. While he may not be a world-class option on the pitch or for fantasy managers, Horn has shown he is a worthwhile understudy. It's likely that Hector will have returned after the international break.

MARCH 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Louis Schaub - Four crosses in draw Schaub sent in four inaccurate crosses during Sunday's one-all draw with Dortmund.

Impact Schaub found four crosses, somewhat out of nowhere as he popped up on the wing to try and break down the Dortmund defense. The midfielder isn't much of a fantasy play and has often found himself on the bench. Schaub doesn't look likely to become a consistent part of the starting XI any time soon.

MARCH 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Mark Uth - Busy Sunday Uth sent in nine crosses, creating two chances during Sunday's 1-1 draw with Dortmund.

Impact Uth had plenty to do with his role on set-pieces, and he nearly had a couple assists. Unfortunately he can't send in the set-pieces and score the goals at the same time. Uth has been consistent and his duty on set-pieces makes him a stable fantasy option moving forward.

MARCH 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Anthony Modeste - Assists Sunday Modeste provided one assist on one chance created during Sunday's one-all draw with Dortmund.

Impact Modeste provided a single assist in what was an all-around quiet match for the striker. Fantasy managers will take the efficiency, even if it puts a sheen on a poor run of form for Modeste. He has a clash with Union Berlin after the international break.

MARCH 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sebastian Andersson - Scores for draw Andersson scored once on one shot during Sunday's one-all draw with Dortmund.

Impact Andersson scored his third goal of the campaign in his 25th appearance. The striker has simply been off his game since joining Koln, and is a lackluster fantasy play. Andersson will hope to prove he can find some consistency against his former team, Union Berlin, next time out.

MARCH 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Mark Uth - Starting against Dortmund Uth (illness) is in Koln's starting lineup for Sunday's clash against Borussia Dortmund.

MARCH 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ellyes Skhiri - Suffers training injury Skhiri (muscular) suffered a training injury and a torn muscle fiber is suspected, according to manager Steffen Baumgart.

Impact Skhiri is suspected to have torn a muscle fiber in training and could be set for a lengthy spell on the sideline. It's uncertain what exactly the extent of the injury is, but he is certainly out against Dortmund. Depending on the severity of the injury, Skhiri could return after the international break.

MARCH 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Tim Lemperle - Ruled out Sunday Lemperle (illness) is out for Sunday's match with Dortmund, according to manager Steffen Baumgart.

Impact Lemperle is out Sunday, after dealing with an illness all week. The forward isn't a fantasy option in any means and is exclusively used off the bench. Lemperle will hope to return to the bench after the international break.

MARCH 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Dejan Ljubicic - Out Sunday Ljubicic (illness) is out for Sunday's clash with Dortmund, according to manager Steffen Baumgart.

Impact Ljubicic is out Sunday as he deals with a close-contact to a COVID-19 case. The midfielder isn't a major fantasy play when on the pitch and has been dealing with a plethora of injuries throughout the season. Ljubicic will hope to return shortly after the international break.

MARCH 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Florian Kainz - Ruled out officially Kainz (illness) is ruled out for Sunday's match with Dortmund, according to manager Steffen Baumgart.

Impact Kainz has been ruled out for Sunday's match against Dortmund. The midfielder picked up an illness earlier in the week and now his absence is confirmed. Mark Uth may take his place in the starting XI, though Kainz's role in the team is hard to replace.

MARCH 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Jonas Hector - Out with illness Hector (illness) is out for Sunday's clash with Dortmund, according to manager Steffen Baumgart.

Impact Hector will miss Sunday's match due to an illness he picked up earlier in the week. The defender missed multiple training sessions and now the hammer has dropped with missing a match too. The only positive is he will have the entirety of the international break to recover.

MARCH 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Kingsley Schindler - Ruled out Sunday Schindler is ruled out for Sunday's clash with Dortmund, due to personal reasons, according to Koln.

Impact Schindler is ruled out for Sunday's match and it's not clear what the personal issue is, but Schindler has the entirety of the international break after Sunday's match. The hope is that Schindler can return in April, but his situation is nearly impossible to estimate. Schindler isn't a major fantasy option whether with the team or not.

MARCH 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Florian Kainz - Absent through illness Kainz (illness) is missing Wednesday's training, Koln announced.

Impact Kainz is dealing with an undisclosed illness, alongside Jonas Hector, and is missing Wednesday training. The midfielder is the top midfield option, while Hector is the top defensive option. If both were to miss Saturday's clash with Dortmund it would be a huge blow for Koln.

MARCH 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Jonas Hector - Absent from training Hector (illness) is missing Wednesday's training, Koln announced.

Impact Hector is missing Wednesday's training session with an undisclosed illness. Hector is the heart-and-soul of the Koln back line and he would be a massive loss if he misses any time. Hector will hope to return to the first team by Sunday, but he has an international break after Sunday's match if he needs it.
