Impact Max only made it 45 minutes before being forced off the pitch. There was no specific injury to point to as he made it to half time but the wing-back did ride multiple heavy challenges.

Sebastian Rode - Available off bench Rode (thigh) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Koln.

Impact Manager Dino Toppmoller had already confirmed Rode will return to the squad in this one, so his presence on the bench isn't a surprise. The central midfielder lasted just three minutes in the season opener, so he's expected to see minutes off the bench with an eye toward having him completely fit after the international break.

Makoto Hasebe - Makes bench Sunday Hasebe (illness) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Koln.

Impact Hasebe didn't play last week against Mainz, but he recovered in time to make the bench here. The veteran defensive specialist has yet to make a start in the current Bundesliga campaign, so his absence from the starting lineup shouldn't alter many fantasy decisions.

Steffen Tigges - Features in XI against Frankfurt Tigges (shoulder) is in the starting lineup for Sunday's match against Frankfurt.

Impact Koln are severely depleted upfront, so having Tigges back is a huge boost to the team's forward line. The experienced striker, who recorded six goals across 30 appearances in 2022-23, is set to make his season debut here and will lead the attacking line.
