Yan Couto - Dealt illness Couto is questionable for Saturday's match against Koln due to an illness, according to manager Niko Kovac. "I think that will not be a problem for tomorrow."

Impact Couto is going to need to pass some testing to be an option Saturday, with the defender dealing with an illness and not training fully Friday. This is something to watch, as he has been in a rotational role on the right flank. That said, his chances of starting have taken a hit, with Julian Ryerson likely to return to that role even if Couto is fit.

Serhou Guirassy - Dealt illness Guirassy is a late call for Saturday's match against Koln due to an illness, according to manager Niko Kovac. "I think that will not be a problem for tomorrow."

Impact Guirassy is going to need to pass some testing ahead of Saturday's match, with the forward limited in training due to an illness. The good news is that the club appears confident that he will make it through and be fit for the game. He is a regular starter, so the club will hope he is available from the jump, with Fabio Silva as a possible replacement if he is out or an option from the bench.

Impact Duranville is still in the recovery stage of his shoulder injury but is making small steps, as the forward worked partially through team training. The forward will now focus on getting him back into full team training in the near future and make his season debut, although a rotational spot is likely once fit.

Impact Can is seeing some decent work this week in his return from a groin injury, as the defender was partially integrated into team training after working with the U23s. The defender has yet to appear for the club this season, so this is good news, with a return likely coming after the international break.

Gregor Kobel - Six saves in loss Kobel recorded six saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Bayern Munich.

Impact Kobel was excellent during Der Klassiker, making six saves and very nearly doing enough to secure a win. In the end Bayern's attack just proved to be too much for him to handle. Kobel remains one of the absolute top goalkeepers in the Bundesliga, and has nearly unmatched upside in the league.

Julian Ryerson - Assists in Der Klassiker Ryerson assisted once to go with 10 crosses (two accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 2-1 defeat versus Bayern Munich. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 20th minute...

Impact Ryerson provided a single assist during Saturday's loss, setting Julian Brandt up for a late consolation goal. The defender has been a solid contributor, with his new role as a wing-back pushing him even further up the pitch. Ryerson should remain a consistent offensive contributor as long as he holds on to his place in the starting XI.

Julian Brandt - Scores off bench Brandt scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against Bayern Munich.

Impact Brandt came off the bench for six minutes during Der Klassiker and immediately found the back of the net. The attacker would be a huge threat if trusted with a larger role, but he's surprisingly fallen totally out of favor. If Brandt ever earns a starting job back he'd be immensely valuable.
