Starting Saturday Tapsoba (undisclosed) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Wolfsburg.

Impact Tapsoba was spotted in training earlier this week, so it's not surprising to see him in the starting lineup. He will slot in his regular center-back role alongside Josip Stanisic and Jonathan Tah.

Trains with ball on Monday Tapsoba (undisclosed) was viewed in training on Monday ahead of Saturday's match against Wolfsburg.

Impact Tapsoba looks to be making a speedy recovery after already being viewed training just a week after picking up the knock. The defender had initially picked up the injury while competing for Burkina Faso during the international break but is still yet to have any further information released on the knock. However, it does seem like Tapsoba could be an option for Saturday after already rejoining training. If he is not able to play, then expect Piero Hincapie to start.

Picks up knock Tapsoba went down with an undisclosed injury on Monday while on international duty with Burkina Faso.

Impact Tapsoba could be set for some time on the sideline after going down with a knock on Monday. The defender was forced to withdraw from international team duty with Burkina Faso due to the injury. However, he should have adequate time to recover, with two weeks until his next match with Leverkusen. If Tapsoba is not ready for Leverkusen's first game after the break against Wolfsburg, expect Piero Hincapie to take over his role in the starting XI.

Impact Tapsoba set new career-highs across the board with 2,872 minutes and 33 appearances as well as 100 clearances. With Jonathan Tah likely moving on in the transfer window Tapsoba would figure to continue this major role alongside Piero Hincapie. Tapsoba impressively managed just five yellow cards despite the major playing time in the Bundesliga.

Starting against Union Berlin Tapsoba (strain) is in Leverkusen's starting lineup for Saturday's clash against Union Berlin.

Impact Tapsoba missed last weekend's win over Leipzig due to a muscular injury but he's been back in team training for a few days now and is fit enough to return to the XI in central defense for Saturday's match.

APRIL 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Missing with muscle strain Tapsoba is not in the match day squad to face Leipzig on Sunday due to a muscle strain.

APRIL 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Five clearances in upset Tapsoba made five clearances and three tackles during Sunday's 2-1 win over Bayern Munich.

Impact Tapsoba got the start and went the full 90 during Sunday's win, piling on the defensive volume in the impressive upset. The defender has been a nailed-on starter alongside Jonathan Tah throughout the season, generally in a back three.

Converts penalty in win Tapsoba scored a goal with his lone shot while making an interception and five clearances during Wednesday's match against Bochum.

JANUARY 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Major role through first half Tapsoba started and played 15 matches during the first half of the Bundesliga.

Impact Tapsoba was held to a more limited role due to injury in the 2021/22 campaign, but now seems set to play nearly every minute in the 2022/23 campaign. The defender has a nailed-on role in the defense, though issues with the Leverkusen team as a whole have held him to just three clean sheets in 15 matches.

NOVEMBER 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Three tackles in loss Tapsoba had three tackles (three won), two clearances, and one interception in Saturday's 2-0 defeat to RB Leipzig.

Impact Tapsoba has been a nailed-on starter in the Bundesliga, with 12 starts from 12 possible matches, going the full 90 more often than not. The defender has offered next to nothing going forward but consistently fills the stat sheet behind the ball. Leverkusen's defensive woes give Tapsoba little clean sheet upside, capping his fantasy value in general.

OCTOBER 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Concedes goal once more Tapsoba has kept only a single clean sheet across eight matches in all competitions before the international break.

Impact Tapsoba and the Leverkusen defense have failed to keep clean sheets, knocking down the value of any Leverkusen center-backs. The defender will hope to find more consistent defensive showings on the other side of the international break as Leverkusen look to climb up the table.

Impact Tapsoba once again held onto a role starting in central defense for Leverkusen.

Tapsoba will be right back in the center of the defense for Leverkusen, lining up alongside Jonathan Tah at center-back.

JUNE 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to Leverkusen Tapsoba is back in Leverkusen and in training, the club announced Thursday.

Impact Tapsoba is back in Leverkusen having returned from a strong campaign in AFCON with Burkina Faso. The defender may be called upon off the bench immediately, or even in the starting XI. Tapsoba has limited fantasy value due to his role in the team.

FEBRUARY 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Away at AFCON Tapsoba is away at AFCON with Burkina Faso, and will miss January's Bundesliga matches.

Impact Tapsoba is set to miss all of January's matches as he travels to compete in AFCON with his national team. The defender wasn't a mainstay in the starting XI and isn't a major fantasy option. Tapsoba's absence will leave Leverkusen with a lack of depth at the back though, and an injury could necessitate a change in formation.

JANUARY 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

First goal of season Tapsoba scored a goal with his lone shot while blocking a shot, making two interceptions and winning a tackle during Saturday's 7-1 win over Greuther Furth.

OCTOBER 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Rejoins team training Tapsoba (ankle) completed portions of team training Wednesday.

Impact While it's certainly a step in the right direction, Tapsoba is still expected to be out of action until October at the earliest. Last season, the defender started 29 of 31 appearances for the club and should garner regular minutes in the starting XI once given the green light to play.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Out until October Tapsoba will be out until October with an ankle injury that requires surgery, reports Bulinews.

Impact It's a blow for Leverkusen's back line, as Tapsoba's injury news seems to be getting worse by the week. For now, it looks like he'll miss the first seven league matches of the season up until the October international break, meaning Leverkusen will need some help on their back line in the early season.

JULY 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Will miss start of season Tapsoba will miss the start of the Bundesliga season due to a syndesmosis tear, his club announced Tuesday.

Impact Tapsoba made 29 starts from 31 appearances last season but won't be able to play due to an injury that can take up to two months to recover from. As a result, a new option will have to start at center-back when August signals the start of the Bundesliga campaign.

JULY 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Tapsoba started 29 of 31 appearances this season in which he generated one goal on 16 shots (five on target), 89 clearances and 54 tackles. The central defender won't offer much in the way of offensive contributions heading into next season and will only provide fantasy value in formats that value defensive stats.
