Elvis Rexhbecaj - Option for Wednesday Rexhbecaj (personal) is back with his team and an option for Thursday's match against Union Berlin, according to manager Manuel Baum.

Impact Rexhbecaj was tending to some personal matters last week and had to miss their match, but is back as an option after joining the group ahead of Wednesday. This will give the club some more depth from the bench as he will likely see minutes later in the match, starting in five of his 13 appearances this season.

Anton Kade - Fit after break Kade (ankle) is an option for Sunday's match against Gladbach, accordion to manager Manuel Baum. "We have two more lads in Anton and Samuel, who can take on the role up top."

Impact Kade is back in the call after missing the club's last match ahead of the break, with the attacker deemed fit to face Gladbach. This gives the club back their starter at forward and on the right for the past few games, only missing one start since the start of November. He will hope to return to his role at forward, although he will have more competition for time after the signing of Michael Gregoritsch.

Samuel Essende - Option moving forward Essende (international duty) is back in Augsburg and an option moving forward.

Impact Essende is going to avoid any further time away from his team after ending his time at AFCON, as the forward is back with his club and an option as Bundesliga play resumes. This gives the club some depth in the attack as he mainly serves a rotational role, with two starts in 10 appearances this season to go along with one goal.

Kristijan Jakic - Late call to face Gladbach Jakic (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's match against Galdbach, according to manager Manuel Baum.

Impact Jakic is going to need some testing ahead of Sunday's match, as the defender has been struggling with an ankle injury that will leave him as a late call. That said, even if he is an option, the midfielder appears to be unable to play the full 90, potentially serving off the bench. He started in their past three games, so this would force a change, with Elvis Rexhbecaj as a possible replacement.

Chrislain Matsima - Suffers thigh injury Matsima has suffered a torn tendon in his thigh and is out for the time being, according to his club.

Impact Matsima is not going to be in the call Sunday and is unlikely to be an option moving forward for the next few games, as the defender went down in training with a torn thigh. The good news is the defender has yet to be announced to need surgery, hopefully avoiding that and making his timeline for a return much shorter. Cedric Zesiger is likely to be his replacement until a return comes, missing anywhere from a few weeks to a couple months.

Impact Giannoulis suffered a bad knock to his ribs and was forced off in the 56th minute of Saturday's draw against Bremen. The left midfielder contributed four crosses and four tackles during the game and will have plenty of time to recover before contributing again since he received his fifth yellow card of the season, leaving him suspended of the first game of the year against Gladbach on Jan. 10. Mads Pedersen is expected to get the starting role on the left flank until Giannoulis returns.

Impact Jakic stepped on the foot of one of his opponent and twisted his ankle, forcing him off before the hour-mark. The midfielder contributed decently in the game, setting a new season high with three chances created and adding three tackles and two clearances to his shift. Jakic will have several weeks to recover from the issue and if he had to miss some time, it would be a blow since he has been a regular starter for Ausgburg this season, with Elvis Rexhbecaj likely getting a larger role in his spot if he is out.

DECEMBER 21, 2025 • YOUTUBE

Mert Komur - Valiant effort off bench Komur recorded one shot (one on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Werder Bremen.

Impact December saw Komur demoted from a regular starting role, but it has not prevented him from valiantly attempting to get it back. He finished the month with five shots (three on goal), 11 crosses (four accurate), six corners and three chances created across that many appearances.

DECEMBER 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Robin Fellhauer - Serviceable threat from flank Fellhauer registered one shot (zero on goal), five crosses (two accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Werder Bremen.

Impact For only the second time this season, Fellhauer logged five-plus crosses in a game. Unlike the other time, he recorded multiple accurate crosses, ensuring that his 2025 calendar year finishes on a relative high note. Fellhauer has a goal and an assist this season but has not added to each of the categories since Oct. 4, following up his form with 18 crosses (three accurate), 10 chances created and nine shots (one on goal) thereafter.

DECEMBER 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Alexis Claude-Maurice - Four shots, two on goal Claude-Maurice recorded four shots (two on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Werder Bremen.

Impact Claude-Maurice has been a regular option in Augsburg's attacking midfield but has yet to log any goals or assists. The lack of offensive product has not been without effort though, as indicated by his 17 shots (five on goal) across his last eight appearances. That may be different from the chance-creating side, considering he has only five crosses (zero accurate) and three chances created.

DECEMBER 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Finn Dahmen - Easy clean sheet Saturday Dahmen registered no saves and allowed zero goals in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Werder Bremen.

Impact Dahmen has been rolling with three clean sheets across his last five appearances, in which he conceded multiple goals only once and averaged 2.2 saves. The goalkeeper will look to continue the form going into the new year with a Jan. 11 game at Monchengladbach.
