Sees time in friendly Rexhbecaj (foot) appeared for 45 minutes in Saturday's 2-1 friendly loss to TS Galaxy.

Impact Rexhbecaj had his 2023/24 campaign cut short after he was forced to receive surgery on a fractured foot in April. However, the midfielder has now recovered, as he featured in a pre-season friendly. This is great news for the club, as they have gained a regular starter back for the beginning of the season, as he did start in 24 of his 25 appearances last campaign before his injury.

Scores late penalty in win Rexhbecaj scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 5-2 victory over FC Heidenheim.

Impact Rexhbecaj scored his second goal of the season Sunday, a penalty he put past Kevin Muller in the 88th minute to take the resounding 5-2 lead. It marked just his second shot on goal this season, and while he has converted both of those into goals, the lack of consistency in that department is a bit concerning.

Scores impressive long-range strike Rexhbecaj scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 4-4 draw versus Monchengladbach.

Impact Rexhbecaj pulled one back for Augsburg midway through the first half with a stunning goal, as he saw himself with acres of space and blasted an impressive strike from out of the box that left Jonas Omlin helpless. The central midfielder should be one of the first names in Augsburg's team sheet when they take on Bayern Munich this Sunday.

Nothing to show from big role Rexhbecaj made 31 appearances (30 starts) and failed to get on the scoresheet during the 2022/23 Bundesliga.

Impact Rexhbecaj made his debut with his fourth team in four seasons and saw major playing time. The midfielder was held entirely off the scoresheet for a second straight seasons and struggled to produce anything. Rexhbecaj made 51 tackles and created 12 chances but struggled mightily despite his major role. With Niklas Dorsch expected to open the 2023/24 season fully fit it's likely Rexhbecaj falls to the bench.

Scores own goal against Eintracht Rexhbecaj had two off-target shots, made three tackles (one won) and scored an own goal during Saturday's 1-1 draw against Eintracht Frankfurt.

Impact Rexhbecaj was far from being his side's worst performer here, but the own goal he scored when try to cut a pass from the right flank in the 25th minute made this one an uphill battle. With no appearances on the right side of the scoresheet over 27 appearances so far this season, the midfielder will try to bounce back during next Saturday's home clash against Union Berlin.

MAY 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

One interception in return Rexhbecaj recorded one interception in Saturday's 5-3 loss versus Bayern Munich.

Impact Rexhbecaj played a full half in his return from a calf injury. He will make a slow return back to the starting XI once he regains full form again. Before his injury, the midfield had totaled 10 clearances, eight tackles (six won) and five interceptions in his previous six matches.

Recovered from injury Rexhbecaj (calf) will be available for Saturday's clash against Bayern Munich, confirmed manager Enrico MaaBen

Impact Rexhbecaj was expected to be out for a month with a torn calf muscle, but made a quick recovery and should be an option to start Saturday. He has completed 34 tackles (32 won) and 24 clearances from the midfield thus far.

MARCH 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Tears calf muscle Rexhbecaj will miss 3-4 weeks with a torn muscle in his calf, German newspaper Augsburger Allgemeine reports.

Impact Rexhbecaj suffered this injury in the second half of last weekend's win over Hoffenheim, and he will now be sidelined until mid-March while he recovers. Iago replaced him against Hoffenheim, but Julian Baumgartlinger or Arne Maier would be a more natural fit to start in midfield in his absence.

FEBRUARY 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sits out Saturday Rexbecaj was suspended for Saturday's loss to Eintracht Frankfurt but will now be available in Wednesday's trip to Union Berlin.

Impact Rexhbecaj and midfield partner Carlos Gruezo were both suspended over the weekend and are now in line to return. Each has primarily focused on their defensive responsibilities this season, as Rexhbecaj has committed 17 fouls and made 22 tackles in 12 starts.

NOVEMBER 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Will miss next match Rexhbecaj was shown his fifth yellow card of the season during Saturday's match against Stuttgart.

OCTOBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Joins Augsburg Rexhbecaj has completed a transfer to Wolfsburg on a contract until 2026, the club announced Wednesday.

Impact Rexhbecaj completed a transfer to Wolfsburg after going out on loan to Bochum in the 2021/22 campaign. The midfielder was never expected to break into the Wolfsburg first team on his return from loan and a permanent move to Augsburg could prove important for both player and club. Augsburg are one of the favorites for relegation again, something familiar to Rexhbecaj following his campaign with Bochum.

JULY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Goal threat disappears Rexhbecaj scored no goals and provided no assists despite 32 appearances (30 starts) during the Bundesliga campaign.

Impact Rexhbecaj was brought in to provide a goal threat from midfield after five goals and two assists with Koln in the 2020/21 campaign. That threat was utterly non-existent for the midfielder in 2021/22, where he scored no goals, despite taking more shots than in ever before in his career. Despite the awful return, the volume was still encouraging for fantasy managers as Rexhbecaj played 2,467 minutes, far and away the most of his career. He will be a nailed-on part of the starting XI once more in 2022/23.

JUNE 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

FEBRUARY 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Busy in draw Rexhbecaj sent in three crosses and made four tackles during Friday's one-all draw with Hertha.

Impact Rexhbecaj isn't a consistent fantasy option by any means, failing to break onto the scoresheet consistently and generally not producing great volume. That said the midfielder can provide some consistent value in games where he has plenty to do on both sides of the ball. He's a purely defensive option next time out against Bayern Munich.

FEBRUARY 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Seven crosses in win Rexhbecaj sent in seven crosses (one accurate) making five tackles during Sunday's 1-0 win over Wolfsburg.

Impact Rexhbecaj had a busy day Sunday on both sides of the ball. The midfielder offers value in every direction and is worth keeping an eye on in all formats. Rexhbecaj has a Saturday trip to Mainz up next, where he will hope to keep this form going.

AUGUST 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Creates four chances in opener Rexhbecaj took two shots (zero on target), delivered four crosses (two accurate) and created four chances in Saturday's 1-0 defeat to VfL Wolfsburg.

Impact Rexhbecaj was his sides most threatening player, against his parent club, pacing his team in shots and chances created. He also stands to be one of his sides primary set piece taker. His next match comes on August 21 against Mainz.

AUGUST 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Joins Bochum on loan Rexhbecaj joined Bochum on a season-long loan from Wolfsburg on Monday.

Impact Rexhbecaj is coming off a successful season with five goals and two assists from 30 appearances on loan at Koln, so he should be an asset for the newly-promoted club if he can stay fit.
