Dimitrios Giannoulis - Could return against Leipzig Giannoulis (Achilles) could be back available for Saturday's clash against Leipzig since he wasn't listed in the injury report by coach Manuel Baum.

Impact Giannoulis returned to partial team training this week and could be back available for Saturday's clash against Leipzig after coach Manuel Baum left him off the injury report during the press conference. That would be a solid boost for Augsburg since he is a locked-in starter when fit and should regain his spot in the lineup as soon as he is fully ready to go. Until then, Fabian Rieder or Marius Wolf would be next in line to fill the role.

Kristijan Jakic - Trains with team Jakic (calf) is back in team training ahead of Saturday's match against Leipzig, according to his club.

Impact Jakic is looking to only have been dealt a minor injury against Koln over the weekend, as the defender is already back in training with his teammates. This should warrant a return in coming games, likely to be an option when facing Leipzig on Saturday. With 15 starts in 19 appearances this season, he will look to see the start upon his return.

Yannik Keitel - Ruled out for time being Keitel (knee) is ruled out for the time being due to an injury, according to Augsburger Allgemeine.

Impact Keitel picked up a knee injury in Friday's showdown with Koln and is now sidelined as he focuses on recovery. There's no firm timetable yet for his return, but his absence shouldn't shake up Augsburg's starting XI too much, as the midfielder has mostly been providing depth off the bench for the club this season.

Dimitrios Giannoulis - Returns to partial training Giannoulis (Achilles) trained partially with the team Tuesday, according to Augsburger Allgemeine.

Impact Giannoulis missed the last match with an Achilles injury he picked up during the clash against Koln and returned to partial training Tuesday. The left wing-back took part in a portion of the session before cutting it short, which suggests he might still not be fully ready to handle a complete team training load. During his absence, Fabian Rieder and Marius Wolf remain the two main options to step into the starting XI in his role.

Chrislain Matsima - Will miss four more games Matsima (thigh) won't be an option before the month of April, according to Kicker.

Impact Matsima is still entrenched in his recovery from the thigh injury that has sidelined him since mid-December, with the club taking a cautious, no-shortcuts approach to his rehab. The center-back is expected to miss at least the next four matches and is not projected to return before April at the earliest. With him still out of the mix, the door stays wide open for others to absorb bigger minutes, as Noahkai Banks and Keven Schlotterbeck are lined up to take on expanded roles in the back three.

Jeffrey Gouweleeuw - Won't return before April Gouweleeuw (knee) won't be an option before the month of April, according to Kicker.

The center-back is projected to miss at least the next four matches and is not expected back before April at the earliest. His continued absence clears the runway for others to log heavier minutes, with Noahkai Banks and Keven Schlotterbeck in line to shoulder bigger roles in the back three.

The penalty attempt was the only shot Gregoritsch attempted in the match, but he made the most of his limited time on the pitch. He's now scored three goals across seven appearances (five starts) since joining Augsburg on loan in January.
