Anton Kade - Suffers ankle injury Kade is questionable for Saturday's match against Werder Bremen due to an ankle injury, according to manager Manuel Baum.

Impact Kade had picked up an ankle injury against Frankfurt in the club's last outing and is now facing time on the sidelines, as he will be a late call for Saturday. This is something to watch for the club after he earned a fifth straight start last contest, starting in seven of the club's past eight games in the attack. The club will likely have Phillip Tietz as a replacement at forward, with Marius Wolf a potential replacement on the right flank.

Samuel Essende - Called up with DR Congo Essende has been called up by DR Congo for the AFCON starting Dec. 21 and ending Jan. 18.

Impact Essende was called by DR Congo for the AFCON and will miss all the games until at least the clash against Gladbach on Jan. 11. The forward has been only a bench option this season for Augsburg, therefore his absence will unlikely impact the starting lineup.

Elias Saad - Linking with Tunisia Saad has been called up by Tunisia for the AFCON starting Dec. 21 and ending Jan. 18.

Impact Saad was called by Tunisia for the AFCON and will miss all the games until at least the clash against Gladbach on Jan. 11. The forward has lost his starter role since late October, therefore his absence will not impact the starting XI of Augsburg.

Ismael Gharbi - Linking with Tunisia Gharbi has been called up by Tunisia for the AFCON starting Dec. 21 and ending Jan. 18.

Impact Gharbi was called by Tunisia for the AFCON and will miss all the games until at least the clash against Gladbach on Jan. 11. The midfielder has been only a bench option for Ausgburg, therefore his absence will have no impact on the starting XI.

Keven Schlotterbeck - Quiet in loss Schlotterbeck registered two shots (zero on goal) in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Eintracht Frankfurt.

Impact Schlotterbeck took a pair of shots, though both were speculative from the big center-back. He's not a major offensive threat, and with Augsburg struggling to keep clean sheets his overall upside is limited. Still if Augsburg can return to their form from last year, Schlotterbeck would immediately have some upside.

Kristijan Jakic - Two shots in loss Jakic had two shots (zero on goal) in Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt.

Impact Jakic was back in the starting XI against his former club and took a pair of shots. Neither of those shots were particularly threatening though and the defensive midfielder largely struggled to impact the match. Jakic remains a limited offensive option moving forward so he has little upside in most domestic matches.

DECEMBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Chrislain Matsima - Suspended one match Matsima has picked up a one-game ban due to yellow card accumulation.

Impact Matsima is on the sidelines for a match and will miss out against Werder Bremen on Dec. 20, not an option again until Jan. 11 against Gladbach due to a ban. This will leave the club without a starter for a match, as he has yet to miss a start all season, with Cedric Zesiger as a possible replacement.

Finn Dahmen - Two saves in clean sheet win Dahmen registered two saves and allowed zero goals in Saturday's 2-0 victory versus Bayer Leverkusen.

Impact Dahmen kept his second clean sheet of the season as his side defeated Bayer Leverkusen 2-0. Both of his clean sheets have come in the last two home games. In those two matches, he has made seven saves. In the 13 matches this season, he has made two or more saves on nine occasions.

Fabian Rieder - Takes three shots in road loss Rieder recorded three shots (one on goal), seven crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 3-0 loss against Hoffenheim.

Cedric Zesiger - Scores own goal at Hoffenheim Zesiger registered an own goal, two tackles (one won) and five clearances in Saturday's 3-0 defeat against Hoffenheim.

Impact Zesiger scored against his own net just before halftime to give Hoffenheim the 3-0 lead and seal the deal. The centerback did well on defense other than that, though, with the second-most clearances and duels won (five). That was his fourth start in seven overall appearances.

Finn Dahmen - Makes one save in loss Dahmen recorded one save and allowed three goals in Saturday's 3-0 loss to Hoffenheim.

Impact Dahmen had a game to forget, making one or less saves for the fourth time in 12 starts. The goalkeeper conceded three times and still has only one clean sheet over that span. He will now look to bounce back against Leverkusen on Saturday.

Keven Schlotterbeck - Back from ban Schlotterbeck is no longer suspended and is an option moving forward.

Impact Schlotterbeck has served his one-match suspension after earning two yellow cards in his last appearance, with the defender an option for play once again. This is solid news for the club, as he started in their past three games before the ban. He will look to return to that role, although he has only started in six of his 10 appearances.

Kristijan Jakic - On bench against Hoffenheim Jakic (knee) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Hoffenheim.

Impact Jakic missed the last match against Hamburger because of knee joint problems but managed to train fully with the group this week. He returns to action on Saturday but only as a bench option against Hoffenheim, reflecting the fact that he remained an unused substitute in the two games before his injury. That said, his presence provides depth but does not alter the hierarchy in midfield.

Impact Jakic missed the last game against Hamburger due to knee joint problems but was able to train fully with the team this week which should make him an option for Saturday's clash against Hoffenheim.
