Dominique Heintz - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Still too early to return Heintz (adductor) resumed team training this week but Saturday's clash against Stuttgart is ultimately coming too early for him, according to Geissblog Koln.

Impact Heintz was listed as a squad option by coach Lukas Kwasniok during the pre-match press conference, and although he has shaken off his adductor injury and returned to full team training, the defender did not travel for Saturday's matchup against Stuttgart. The staff is opting for caution, pushing his comeback back one more week. He is now lined up to return in next week's showdown with Hoffenheim, where he should have a few more training sessions under his belt before rejoining the matchday squad.

Impact Heintz has shaken off the adductor issue that sidelined him for the last six matches and is back in the mix as a squad option for Saturday's showdown against Stuttgart.

A regular presence in the backline for the Goats when healthy, Heintz is expected to push back into a similar role once he is fully up to speed following his second groin issue of the season.

Suffers adductor tear Heintz has suffered a small muscle fiber tear in his adductor and is out for the next few weeks, according to his club.

Impact Heintz went down early in Saturday's match with an injury, and after further testing, the defender will be sidelined with a muscle tear. Unfortunately, he will miss some decent time with the injury, likely looking at weeks to possibly months, and not be an option until the new year. He has started to assume more of a starting role, so this is a rough break, with Rav van den Berg likely to earn more time while he is out, especially until Joel Schmied (thigh) returns.

In terms of fantasy production, the central defender's value will come primarily from defensive stats like clearances.

On bench against Leverkusen Heintz (back) is in Bochum's match day squad for Wednesday's clash against Bayer Leverkusen.

Impact Heintz is in Bochum's squad for a Bundesliga match Wednesday for the first time since October after recovering from a back issue. Injuries have limited Heintz to just four appearances this season (all starts) in central defense, so he will just want to continue building up fitness as he tries to get back into the XI.

Active in friendly Heintz (back) took part in a friendly with DVTK, playing the first half.

Impact Heintz was active in the friendly, and has been training fully. The defender should be fully fit and available for the start of the second half of the Bundesliga. Heintz was a depth option even when healthy to open the season.

Returns to training Heintz returned to training during the January camp, Bild.de reports.

Remains out of training Heintz (back) has yet to return to training, kicker.de reports.

Impact Heintz wasn't present when Bochum started their December training camp. He will have two weeks to return to fitness before the Christmas break. Any sort of return to training before that time would be a good sign he will be fully fit for the start of the second half of the Bundesliga.

Won't play Tuesday Heintz (back) will miss Tuesday's match against Borussia Monchengladbach, according to manager Thomas Letsch.

Impact Heintz missed much of September and October and despite a brief return in the Oct. 29 loss to Wolfsburg he's back on the sideline. Ivan Ordets and Vasilios Lampropoulos will continue in defense while Heintz remains out.

NOVEMBER 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Goes 90 on return Heintz had one shot (zero on goal) in Saturday's 4-0 defeat to VfL Wolfsburg.

Impact Heintz made his return to the starting XI and went the full 90 during Saturday's rout. It wasn't a good match for Heintz or Bochum, but it's hard to say the center-back was the issue. He will likely be a rotational option behind Erhan Masovic, and with little-to-no clean sheet upside the Bochum defense isn't overly appealing in any fantasy formats.

OCTOBER 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Makes bench against Stuttgart Heintz is fit and in the match day squad to face Stuttgart on Saturday.

Impact Heintz returns from a muscle strain that has kept him out since early September. The defender starts from the bench but is available if called upon Saturday.

AUGUST 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Misses opener Heintz missed Saturday's 3-1 win over Hertha Berlin due to undisclosed reasons.

Impact Heintz didn't seem to have any issues heading into this match but the manager wasn't sharing much information ahead of the contest and as such nothing came out about his presence. He started in just seven games last season and looks set to remain an option off the bench.

AUGUST 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Starts in friendly Heintz started during Saturday's friendly with Udinese.

JULY 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Question-mark Saturday Heintz (ankle) is a doubt for Saturday's trip to Freiburg, according to manager Urs Fischer.

Impact Heintz is a question mark Saturday as he continues to make his way back from an ankle injury.

If he can't go Saturday his final chance will be a clash one week later against Bochum.
