Christoph Zimmermann - Ends season with thigh injury Zimmermann was forced off in the second half of Saturday's match against Dortmund due to a thigh injury.

Impact Zimmermann left the match in the 67th minute and was replaced by Thomas Isherwood. Zimmermann ends his first season at Darmstadt making 19 appearances, 12 starts, while helping his club keep one clean sheet.

Aaron Seydel - Among substitutes Saturday Seydel (hip) is on the bench for Darmstadt during Saturday's clash with Wolfsburg.

Impact Seydel returns from a hip injury which kept him out of last week's match against Heidenheim. The forward had started two straight matches prior to the injury, but begins Sunday's fixture as a substitute.

MAY 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Marvin Mehlem - Starting in injury return Mehlem (lower leg) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Wolfsburg.

Impact Mehlem returns directly to the starting lineup following an eight match absence due to injury. The attacker has five goal involvements in 18 appearances this season.

MAY 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Alexander Brunst - Starting Saturday Brunst (strain) is in goal for Darmstadt during Saturday's trip to Wolfsburg.

Impact Brunst was dealing with a muscle strain, but has recovered in time to start Saturday. The keeper takes over in goal for Marcel Schuhen as Brunst makes his first start since November.

Marcel Schuhen - Concedes once against Heidenheim Schuhen had four saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-0 defeat against FC Heidenheim.

Impact Schuhen put up a solid effort with four saves, but he couldn't prevent Nikola Dovedan from scoring in the 90th minute. This match adds to his tally of 20 saves in the last five games. Next weekend, he'll face Wolfsburg.

Darmstadt is relegated from the Bundesliga. Late penalty slightly helps Cologne survival hopes

Darmstadt has been relegated from the Bundesliga with a 1-0 loss at home to fellow promoted side Heidenheim

APRIL 28, 2024 • Associated Press

Klaus Gjasula - No longer suspended Gjasula is no longer suspended after serving his one-match ban against Mainz on Saturday.

Impact Gjasula is now an option for Sunday's match against Freiburg after serving his one-match ban. The defender will now look to find the starting XI in his return, as he has started in five of his last seven appearances, most likely replacing Bartol Franjic in the defensive midfielder role or coming in for Thomas Isherwood or Christoph Klarer in the center of the defense.

APRIL 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Tim Skarke - Ready to face Mainz Skarke (strain) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash against Mainz.

Impact Skarke picked up a muscle injury in the buildup to the match, but is cleared to start Saturday's fixture. The attacker has scored in each of his last two matches while combining for four shots, three crosses and a chance created.

APRIL 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Mathias Honsak - Recovers from illness Honsak (illness) is fit and in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Mainz.

Impact Honsak picked up an illness in the buildup to the match, but has recovered in time to start Saturday. It's the third straight start for the forward as he's provided one assist while taking two shots and creating a chance over his last two matches.

APRIL 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Fabian Holland - Cleared to start Holland (undisclosed) is starting for Darmstadt during Saturday's clash with Mainz.

Impact Holland was questionable heading into the match, but returns to the starting XI after missing last week's fixture. The midfielder has started all 21 of his Bundesliga appearances this season, but doesn't have a goal involvement in 2024.

APRIL 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Matthias Bader - Returns to starting XI Bader (thigh) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Mainz.

Impact Bader returns to the starting XI after featuring off the bench for 17 minutes last week against Bochum. Bader is a locked in starter when fit having had an assist in his last start at the end of February.

APRIL 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Tim Skarke - Scores again Skarke scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal), two crosses (two accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Bochum.

Impact Skarke scored in his second match in a row for eight on the season. He's scored eight goals in 24 appearances, 23 of them coming as starts while logging in 55 shots (17 on target) and 78 crosses (20 accurate).

APRIL 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Bartol Franjic - Available for selection Franjic is available for Saturday's trip to Mainz after serving a one-match ban.

Impact Franjic was shown a fifth yellow card in the final match before the international break and is now ready to return. The midfielder is a key piece of the starting XI and should play a big role in a match against Mainz that could be massive as Darmstadt fight for a place in the top flight.

APRIL 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Matej Maglica - Back with squad Maglica (undisclosed) is starting on the bench for Sunday's match versus Bochum.

Impact Maglica was able to start six of the last seven matches played, totaling nine tackles, 18 clearances and five blocks in that span. This comes after starting 15 of the 20 appearances during his first full campaign in the Bundesliga with Darmstadt.

MARCH 31, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Luca Pfeiffer - Questionable Sunday Pfeiffer (undisclosed) is questionable for Sunday's match versus Bochum.

Impact Pfeiffer had sat out last match with an undisclosed injury and is still questionable to return. He's last game played was on Mar 2, having started his previous nine appearances while logging in a goal and two assists in that span. Oscar Vilhelmsson could see another start in the attack if the forward is ruled out again.

MARCH 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Marcel Schuhen - Struggles Saturday Schuhen had one save and allowed five goals in Saturday's 5-2 defeat versus Bayern Munich.

Impact Schuhen faced just six shots on his net and stopped only one of them. It's an awful day to head into the break for the goalkeeper who wasn't beaten by quantity, just quality. Schuhen will have easier matches ahead, though he simply hasn't looked up to the standard of the Bundesliga, as he, and Darmstadt, continue to struggle.

MARCH 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Mathias Honsak - Assists from midfield Honsak assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 5-2 loss to Bayern Munich.

Impact Honsak has struggled to get on the scoresheet in recent matches, making it even more of a surprise that he finally broke that against Munich. It was surprisingly open match, which suited Munich just fine, but also gave Honsak some chances on the ball in space. Honsak will hope to keep this going after the international break.

MARCH 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sebastian Polter - Assists against Munich Polter assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 5-2 loss versus Bayern Munich.

Impact Polter was back on the scoresheet with an assist during Saturday's crushing defeat. The striker has made an impact since linking up with Darmstadt, though at the moment it's hard to see him doing enough to complete the miracle run to safety. Polter will likely be back in the 2. Bundesliga in 2024/25, either with Darmstadt or Schalke.

MARCH 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Tim Skarke - Scores Saturday Skarke scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 5-2 loss against Bayern Munich.

Impact Skarke was back on the scoresheet during Saturday's one-sided loss. Obviously any lopsided loss is disappointing but the goal was a nice return for Skarke. He has taken a substantial role further up the pitch of late and is showing some nice offensive upside even in some of the toughest matches on the calender.

MARCH 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Oscar Vilhelmsson - Nets in loss Vilhelmsson scored one goal to go with four shots (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 5-2 defeat versus Bayern Munich.

Impact Vilhelmsson had a surprisingly good showing throughout Saturday's loss. He caused issues for the Bayern defense throughout and was consistently a thorn in their side. His goal was a nice boon in a match that he probably expected to hardly see the ball in. Vilhelmsson will hope to carry this momentum through the international break.

Harry Kane sets scoring records but injures himself as Bayern routs Darmstadt

Harry Kane claimed his 31st Bundesliga goal to help Bayern Munich to a 5-2 win Saturday but injured himself in the process.

Harry Kane sets scoring records but injures himself as Bayern routs Darmstadt

Matej Maglica - Ruled out Saturday Maglica (undisclosed) is not in the squad to face Bayern on Saturday.

Impact Maglica returned to training in the buildup to the match, but misses his second consecutive contest Saturday. The midfielder is a locked in starter when fit as Fabian Holland returns from injury to take Maglica's spot in the starting XI.

MARCH 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Mathias Honsak - Fins bench against Leipzig Honsak (calf) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Leipzig.

Impact Hosak is making his return to the team sheet Saturday, ending an eight-match absence due to a calf injury. The forward should be expected to remain on the bench for most of the club's matches moving forward, as he has only appeared 13 times all season, notching six starts in those games.
