Michael Gregoritsch - Continues individual work Gregoritsch (ankle) remains limited to individual training after being forced off during Austria's first Nations League match against Israel, according to Kicker.

Impact Gregoritsch continues to progress in his recovery after an ankle issue forced him off during the first half against Israel and subsequently kept him out of Austria's second Nations League match. The striker has yet to resume team training, but his recovery is reportedly progressing as planned. He could return to contention for Austria's upcoming fixtures if he continues to improve.

Michael Gregoritsch - Sits out Kosovo win, next chance vs Ireland Gregoritsch (ankle) did not feature in Sunday's 3-1 win over Kosovo, and his next chance to play will come in Thursday's match against Ireland, according to the OEFB.

Impact Gregoritsch had escaped a serious injury after an MRI on his ankle came back clear following his exit against Israel, and he remained with the Austria squad rather than departing early. His continued recovery keeps him on track for a potential return against Ireland, with his club scoring form for Augsburg, including three goals over his last four Bundesliga starts, making his health a key storyline to monitor.

Calvin Brackelmann - Avoids serious injury Brackelmann (back) avoided a significant injury after being forced off late against Werder Bremen and is expected to be fully available against Bayern Munich on Oct. 10, according...

Impact Brackelmann was substituted due to tightness in his back muscles rather than a more serious issue. The center-back already completed Thursday's training session without problems and is expected to resume regular team training Tuesday following four days off. Barring a setback, he should be available without restrictions against Bayern.

Anton Kade - Continues to train Kade (undisclosed) was training once again Friday as he continues his recovery from injury, according to his club.

Impact Kade looks to be using the time off due to the international break well, as the midfielder was back on the training pitch as he tries to recover from injury. This comes after an absence over the past three games, starting in the season opener, before suffering the injury. He will look to resume in a starting role once fit again, already having a goal and an assist in his one appearance.

Michael Gregoritsch - Escapes serious injury Gregoritsch has escaped a serious injury, with an MRI on his ankle coming back clear following an examination Friday morning, with the Austrian federation describing the issue as n...

Impact Gregoritsch had been forced off before halftime of the win over Israel after rolling his ankle, and even a potential involvement in Sunday's home match against Kosovo has not been ruled out, though it remains to be seen whether he'll be ready that soon. He is set to remain with the Austria squad rather than depart early, and his continued absence from Augsburg would still be a notable loss given his recent scoring form, which includes three goals over his last four Bundesliga starts.

Michael Gregoritsch - Suffers ankle injury in first captain game Gregoritsch (ankle) was forced off in the 35th minute of Thursday's Nations League match against Israel, in what was his first match wearing the captain's armband for Austria, acco...

Impact Gregoritsch had already shown signs of trouble minutes earlier, going to the sideline to remove his boot and have his ankle taped after an unfortunate action in which his leg got caught in the turf and overextended. He was ultimately unable to continue, sitting down on the pitch with a pained expression before signaling that he could not carry on, and his status will need to be assessed given his recent scoring form for Augsburg, which includes three goals over his last four Bundesliga starts. Rodrigo Ribeiro or Mert Komur could be in line for more playing time if he had to miss some time to recover.

Michael Gregoritsch - Subs off early in Nations League Gregoritsch left Thursday's UEFA Nations League match against Israel with an undisclosed injury.

Impact Gregoritsch will need to be assessed to determine if he's dealing with a significant problem, with the issue potentially becoming a concern for his club if he faces a multi-week absence. After scoring three goals over his last four Bundesliga starts, the forward is a key attacking element for an Augsburg side that could otherwise rely on Rodrigo Ribeiro or push Mert Komur to a more advanced role.

Finn Dahmen - Back in full training with Germany Dahmen was filmed working normally in goal during Germany's training session in Herzogenaurach, easing concern over the forearm swelling he sustained against Werder Bremen, accordi...

Impact Dahmen picked up swelling in his forearm after a collision against Werder Bremen on Sunday, though he traveled as planned to join Germany and has since been pictured fully involved between the posts in training. The quick return to normal goalkeeping work is encouraging after the initial concern, particularly with no indication that the injury has limited his participation at the national-team camp.

Impact Kade is making further progress after being sidelined since early September with the calf injury. The winger is expected to gradually increase his workload before potentially gaining his first match minutes in a friendly late next week. If his recovery continues without setbacks, Kade could be an option for Augsburg's first competitive match after the international break against Bayern Munich on Oct. 10.

Finn Dahmen - Finishes match with swollen forearm Dahmen finished Saturday's 3-2 loss to Werder Bremen with a noticeable swelling on his right forearm, an issue that surfaced around 10 minutes before the end of regulation, requiri...

Impact Dahmen, who was called up to the German national team, does not believe it to be anything serious, saying that it was a bit swollen and that he will undergo exams Monday morning. He made seven saves in that match despite conceding three goals, and his status will be worth confirming during the international break and further ahead of the upcoming match against Bayern Munich, a team that has already scored 14 goals in four matches this season.

Calvin Brackelmann - Forced off late with back issue Brackelmann was forced off in the closing stages of Saturday's 3-2 loss to Werder Bremen due to back discomfort, with Jeffrey Gouweleeuw coming on for him in the 83rd minute, accor...

Impact Brackelmann had scored what proved to be the temporary 2-0 goal in the 58th minute before his withdrawal, with Augsburg still leading 2-1 at the time he left the pitch, only to concede twice more late on without him. His recovery timeline will be worth monitoring ahead of the upcoming match against Bayern Munich, a team that has already scored 14 goals in Bundesliga play this season.

Impact The defender was able to get on the scoresheet in this game, but he was not heavily involved in the final third overall.

SEPTEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Robin Fellhauer - Scores in loss Fellhauer scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), one cross (one accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 3-2 loss against Werder Bremen.

Impact Fellhauer found the back of the net on his only shot of the game, and he did create a few chances as well. The midfielder is unlikely to deliver a similar performance against Bayern Munich, a team that has only conceded two goals in four Bundesliga matches.

Finn Dahmen - Gives up three goals Dahmen recorded seven saves and allowed three goals in Saturday's 3-2 loss to Werder Bremen.

Anton Kade - Remains out for time being Kade (undisclosed) remains out for the time being, according to coach Daniel Baum.

Impact Kade had already been ruled out of the recent match against Leverkusen after being unable to train for several days, extending an absence that has interrupted an excellent start to the season that included a goal and an assist in the opener against Schalke. His recovery timeline will continue to be monitored as Augsburg's season progresses.

SEPTEMBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Fabian Rieder - Adds another assist Rieder assisted once to go with one cross (one accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Bayer Leverkusen.

Impact Rieder delivered the corner that Michael Gregoritsch headed home in the 55th minute to give Augsburg a 2-1 advantage.

Rieder has one goal and two assists through three Bundesliga appearances this season.

Gregoritsch has scored three goals through three Bundesliga appearances this season after Saturday's clinical display.

He was eventually beaten by Patrik Schick in the 89th minute after having kept the visitors from equalizing earlier. Dahmen has made 14 saves while conceding three goals and keeping one clean sheet through three Bundesliga appearances this season. He'll next face Werder Bremen in league play

SEPTEMBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Anton Kade - Ruled out Saturday Kade (undisclosed) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Leverkusen.

Impact Kade has been unable to earn a place in the matchday squad after coach Manuel Baum confirmed he had been unable to train since cutting short a session ahead of the recent match against Eintracht Frankfurt, with the doubt expressed earlier in the week proving accurate. The forward had made an excellent start to the season with a goal and an assist in the opener against Schalke, making his continued absence a notable concern for Augsburg heading into the Leverkusen fixture. His availability for the coming fixtures will be monitored closely as the undisclosed issue continues to be assessed.

SEPTEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Kade has been unable to train since cutting short a session ahead of the recent match against Eintracht Frankfurt, an absence that came after an excellent start to the season that included a goal and an assist in the opener against Schalke.
