Nets Sunday Castro-Montes scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Eintracht Frankfurt.

Impact Castro-Montes isn't a goalscoring threat, but he scored during Sunday's clash, making the most of his only shot during the win. The defender isn't likely to become any sort of offensive threat despite this goal. Still a goal in a tough match is a nice boon, and earned a draw against a top-half opponent.

Impact Castro-Montes is set to return to play this week after training during the international break, as the defender has been cleared by his staff. This is huge news after a decent absence, with the defender last playing to end January. He has earned starting time this year but is more of a rotational full-back, likely to keep in this role for a few games after an injury.

Impact Castro-Montes suffered a setback with his muscular injury ahead of last week's clash against Dortmund and will remain sidelined for the time being as he works his way back to full fitness. This comes as a tough break for the goats since he's expected to hold a solid role when available. His absence forces a shake-up in the starting XI, with Linton Maina or Jakub Kaminski likely stepping in to cover his spot until he returns.

Ruled out Saturday Castro-Montes (muscular) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Dortmund.

Impact Castro-Montes will miss another match as he continues to recover from a muscular injury that has sidelined him for the last four games.

Impact Castro-Montes trained all week and is expected to start in Saturday's clash against Dortmund after missing the last four matches due to a muscular injury. The right wing-back had started the three matches prior to the injury, and his return could provide a significant boost for his team. Jakub Kaminski is likely to move into an attacking midfield role to allow Castro-Montes to reclaim his spot.

Returns to progressive training Castro-Montes (muscular) returns progressively to team training but isn't fit to make the match squad yet, according to the club.

Impact Castro-Montes is still battling a muscle issue, but he has progressively returned to team training, signaling that a return to the match squad in the coming weeks is firmly on track. That would be a major lift for the group, as he has been a regular starter along the back line this season and his absence has forced a defensive reshuffle. In the meantime, Kristoffer Lund has stepped into a larger role while Castro-Montes works his way back to full fitness.

MARCH 2 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers muscular injury Castro-Montes (muscular) is ruled out for the time being due to an injury, the club announced.

Impact Castro-Montes suffered a muscular injury this week and, after undergoing an MRI on Wednesday, the club has opted to rule him out for the time being to focus on his recovery. This is a major setback for the goats, as the defender had been a regular starter at right-back in recent weeks, and his absence will force a change in the starting XI. Sebastian Sebulonsen is a leading candidate to step into his role, especially with Linton Maina (ribs) also sidelined for the time being.

Leads match in crosses Castro-Montes generated 10 crosses (four accurate) and three corners in Friday's 1-0 victory versus Wolfsburg.

Impact Castro-Montes would have a solid match despite no goal contribution in the win, with the defender recording a game-leading 10 crosses. This comes as a third straight game with the defender with 10 or more crosses, with 40 in eight appearances (five starts). With a third straight start, he will hope to maintain this spot, appearing to be a solid two-way option.

Another assist in another start Castro-Montes assisted once to go with 13 crosses (four accurate) and eight corners in Saturday's 2-1 victory versus Mainz.

Impact Castro-Montes began his 2026 calendar year with two assists at Heidenheim. He did not play Koln's very next game against Bundesliga powerhouse Bayern Munich, as the team instead opted to use him Saturday against Mainz. In terms of getting the best result this weekend, Koln's strategy worked, as Castro-Montes assisted one of two goals scored by Ragnar Ache. With three goals across two appearances, the former is at least making an improved case for a more consistent role as Koln tries to turn the page in 2026.

The 28-year-old will reinforce the right side of the field, joining as a potential starter if he can beat out Sebastian Sebulonsen on the right flank. He will bring plenty of experience to the backline as they try to retain their spot in the Bundesliga, appearing in 304 matches while bagging 23 goals and 30 assists in his career.
