On bench Friday Heintz (groin) is on the bench for Friday's matchup against Augsburg.

Impact Heintz is available to return following a two-month absence, but he may only see limited playing time as a substitute.

Back available Heintz (groin) is back available and could be an option for Saturday's clash against Hoffenheim, coach Lukas Kwasniok said in the press conference. "Heintzi is also a squad option"

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. The defender opened in the starting XI in his final three appearances before going down, but after an extended spell on the sidelines, it would be a surprise to see him thrown straight back into the lineup.

Close to return Heintz (adductor) is close to return to the match squad, according to Alexander Haubrichs from Geissblog Koeln.

Impact Heintz has been on the shelf since the start of the year after picking up an adductor injury during the winter training camp in Marbella. The defender is nearing a return to the matchday squad and could be available for Saturday's clash 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.

Suffers injury early Saturday Heintz (undisclosed) was forced off in the first half of Saturday's clash against Bremen due to an apparent injury.

Impact Heintz played in 108 matches for the club during his previous stint, recording three goals and two assists. In total, the defender has logged 199 Bundesliga appearances and looks poised to make that 200th cap for his old club. In terms of fantasy production, the central defender's value will come primarily from defensive stats like clearances.

JULY 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Loan ends Heintz's loan to Bochum concluded and the defender returned to Union Berlin.

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.

JANUARY 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

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.

JANUARY 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact Heintz returned to training and also revealed that he was dealing with a herniated disk that was causing his leg pain. The defender is likely a depth option, but now that he is fully fit he could see more playing time in what is a busy second half schedule.

JANUARY 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

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.

DECEMBER 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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.
