Starts limited work Selke (foot) was pictured doing some ball work on the training pitch Monday.

Impact Selke has already been out of action for the club's last five outings due to his fractured foot. While this is certainly a step in the right direction for the forward, he is not expected back any time soon. Still, Selke has started all but one of his 15 appearances this season, so he should be in contention for a spot in the starting XI once cleared to return.

Breaks foot Selke suffered a fracture to a bone in his foot and is set to remain out for several weeks, per the Bild.

Impact Selke will likely remain out for two or more months after fracturing his foot. He had scored three goals in his last six matches played, while logging in five goals in 15 appearances all season, 14 of them coming as starts. Steffen Tigges is expected to take the start at forward for the time being, failing to score in 12 appearances thus far.

Scores again Selke scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-1 defeat versus Werder Bremen.

Impact Selke is putting together a surprising run of good form with his second goal in as many matches. The striker isn't a major threat for significant goal contributions despite taking a leading role in the attack. Selke appears to be the top choice early in the season, but has put just three shots on goal.

Scores against Hoffenheim Selke scored a goal off four shots (two on target), created two chances and drew three fouls during Saturday's 3-1 loss against Hoffenheim.

Impact Selke was the most dangerous player for the hosts as he netted his first goal of the season with a right-footed shot in the 61st minute, assisted by Denis Huseinbasic and had a close-range shot miraculously saved by the goalkeeper during the opening minutes. Despite being on the losing side, the fact that he could not only score but also play the full 90 after recovering from an injury is very encouraging as the striker tries to regain the form displayed over the final weeks of the past campaign.

Starting against Hoffenheim Selke (strain) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Hoffenheim.

Impact Selke was a major doubt entering Saturday due to his recurrent fitness issues, but he recovered and will give it a go in the starting lineup. He's still searching for his first goal this season after starting in each of his two previous appearances.

SEPTEMBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back in team training Selke (strain) returned to team training and is trending toward being an option for Saturday's clash against Hoffenheim.

Impact Selke avoided a serious injury and seems to be progressing well, with the return to team training being another sign that he might end up being available for Saturday's clash against Hoffenheim. If he's not ready to start, then Sargis Adamyan could take his place in the lineup, as Steffen Tigges continues to work his way back from a shoulder injury.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Avoids serious injury Selke didn't suffer any structural damage as confirmed by an MRI but is still dealing with a strain that makes him a doubt versus Eintracht on Sunday.

Impact Selke has yet to reach even the 60-minute mark despite starting each of the club's first two contests. In total, the forward has logged a combined 79 minutes to start that season in which he recorded two shots (zero on target), one cross (inaccurate) and one clearance. If Steffen Tigges (shoulder) is fit, he could be an option to replace Selke, though Sargis Adamyan has come off the bench in the prior two contests.

AUGUST 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Leaves with injury Saturday Selke departed Saturday's game against Wolfsburg with an undisclosed injury during the first half.

Impact Selke couldn't even make it to halftime and departed with another injury, which is a worrisome trend given he was already dealing with a thigh problem earlier this week. Selke should be considered questionable for the Sep. 3 matchup against Frankfurt, and Sargis Adamyan, who replaced him Saturday, could be in line for a start if Selke can't go.

Starting against Wolfsburg Selke (thigh) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's clash against Wolfsburg.

Impact Manager Steffen Baumgart told reporters Friday that Selke was going to start, so his presence in the XI shouldn't be a surprise. Selke scored five goals across 17 appearances with Koln last season and should play a prominent role upfront every time he's in the lineup.

AUGUST 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ready for Saturday Selke (thigh) will be an option for Saturday's match against Wolfsburg, confirmed manager Steffen Baumgart. "Davie Selke will play from the start."

Impact Selke had to come off the pitch during last Saturday's match against Dortmund with a thigh injury. However it looks to be that the injury was minor and is set to grab the start at forward against Wolfsburg. In 17 appearances with Koln last season, Selke totaled five goals in 12 starts since his transfer from Hertha Berlin midseason.

Impact Selke came off with an injury during the second half Saturday, though it's possible he was just rested after coming back from a long-term muscular problem. If the injury proves to be serious it would be Steffen Tigges or Sargis Adamyan who could take over leading the line during a Saturday clash with Wolfsburg.

Gets starting nod Saturday Selke (thigh) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's clash against Dortmund.

AUGUST 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Major doubt Saturday Selke (thigh) is a doubt for Saturday's clash with Dortmund, manager Steffen Baumgart told Kicker.

Impact Selke isn't expected to be in the starting XI for a Saturday clash with Dortmund due to a thigh injury picked up during the Pokal clash with VfL Osnabruck. The striker will likely be on the bench at most pushing Sargis Adamyan into the starting XI in his place to lead the line.

AUGUST 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ends season in rich form Selke scored five times in 17 appearances (12 starts) since joining Koln.

Impact Selke joined Koln from Hertha and was a quiet contributor to start. In the closing stages of the Bundesliga he found some stellar form including four goals in the final seven matches. Selke will be back with Koln but will face major competition for a role in the starting XI in 2023/24. Steffen Tigges and Linton Maina will both offer competition to lead the line in pre-season.

JUNE 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Comes off from bench despite injury Selke was fit enough to appear as a substitute in the 1-1 draw with Werder on Saturday, having recovered from an eye injury.

Impact Selke was doubtful, having suffered the injury in the previous game against Hertha, but was fit enough to appear from the bench and managed two shots (one on target). He had started the previous nine games and will likely retake his starting spot for the final game against Bayern.

MAY 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back to training Selke (eye) returned to training and is expected to be an option for Saturday's match against Werder Bermen. "Davie Selke has started training again. He took it well. He is fit and...

Impact Selke suffered an eye injury last match and is back in training and expected to be ready for the weekend. He could be an option to start, but may start on the bench with Randal Kolo Muani the likely starter, depending on his fitness entering Saturday. The forward has scored five goals in the last eight games to bring his total on the year to five.

MAY 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Brought off Friday Selke (undisclosed) was brought off in the first half of Friday's clash with Hertha, due to an apparent injury.

Impact Selke had to be brought off after just 24 minutes due to an undisclosed injury. Steffen Tigges came on to replace him, and would likely see consistent time in the starting XI if the injury knocks Selke out of the final two Bundesliga matches. Selke's first chance to return is a May clash with Werder Bremen.

MAY 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Nets brace on Friday Selke scored two goals from two shots while creating a chance during Friday's 2-1 win over Leverkusen.

Impact Selke found the back of the net in the 14th and 36th minutes scoring both Koln goals to claim all three points. The goals upped his season total to five, four of which have come in his 14 appearances with Koln, as Selke is in relatively good form with three goals in his past three matches.

Impact Selke headed in Florian Kainz' cross to score his second goal since arriving from Hertha in January.

Impact Selke has started just three times in his seven appearances for Koln this season. In those outings, the forward has tallied four shots (two on target), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created. While Selke will likely feature more than he did while with Hertha Berlin, he still is far from a lock for the starting XI on a weekly basis.
