Michael Gregoritsch - Nets brace in win Gregoritsch scored two goals off five shots (three on target) during Saturday's 2-1 win over St. Pauli.

Impact Gregoritsch looked fully integrated despite just returning on loan after five years and played like he did during his first stint with the club, scoring once each half to lead his team to a come-from-behind victory. The brace should raise his fantasy stock, but his profile still carries some variance given Augsburg's inconsistent chance creation.

Thomas Kastanaras - Joins Augsburg Kastanaras has completed a transfer to Augsburg from Stuttgart, according to his former club.

Impact Kastanaras is leaving Stuttgart after a decent tenure with the club, joining in 2012 as a nine-year-old and leaving 14 years later at the age of 23. He has struggled for time with the club, only appearing in four matches with the club, coming in the 2022/23 season. He will now likely see a similar role with Augsburg, needing to work into a bigger role as he starts his career with the club.

Dimitrios Giannoulis - Suffers thigh injury Giannoulis suffered a torn muscle fiber in his thigh and is ruled out for the time being, the club announced.

Impact Giannoulis is not an option for Saturday's clash against St. Pauli since he suffered a torn muscle fiber in his thigh. The left midfielder has been an undisputed starter for Augsburg this season, therefore this setback is a big blow for the time and the club will hope he won't be sidelined for too much time. Marius Wolf gets in the starting XI and should see increased playing time until the Greek returns.

Kristijan Jakic - Remains out Saturday Jakic (calf) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against St. Pauli.

Impact Jakic remains unavailable for Saturday's match against St. Pauli as his recovery is not far enough along to pass final testing. The midfielder had earned five starts in the club's past six games prior to the setback, therefore his absence impacts the starting XI, with Elvis Rexhbecaj serving in the midfield again with Jakic left out.

Kristijan Jakic - Remains questionable Jakic (calf) is questionable for Saturday's match against St. Pauli, according to manager Manuel Baum. "Among other things, the use of Kristijan remains questionable. We will see w...

Impact Jakic is still recovering and is now a late call for Saturday, with the midfielder needing some testing ahead of the match. This comes after he earned five starts in their past six games, so the club will hope for his availability. However, if he is left out again, Elvis Rexhbecaj is likely to serve in the midfield in his spot.

Alexis Claude-Maurice - Six shots, three on goal Claude-Maurice recorded six shots (three on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 2-1 victory versus Bayern Munich.

Impact Claude-Maurice has not made it three consecutive appearances with a goal, but his latest performance was not without a valiant effort on his part. He tied his season-highs in total shots and shots on goal, and his last three appearances include 12 shots (seven on target), an excellent rate both in terms of quantity and accuracy. For the time being, Claude-Maurice remains a promising attacking midfielder as Augsburg's team prepares for the heart of the Bundesliga's second half.

Mert Komur - Assist off bench Komur assisted once to go with two crosses (two accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 2-1 win against Bayern Munich.

Impact Finally, playing off Augsburg's bench benefited Komur, who had gone over three months without any goals or assists. The forward has five G/A, two goals and three assists, this season. Ideally for Komur, he kick-started a run of positive form that can get him back into Augsburg's starting XI.

Dimitrios Giannoulis - Records assist Giannoulis assisted once to go with seven crosses (two accurate) and five chances created in Saturday's 2-1 victory versus Bayern Munich.

Arthur Chaves - Begins loan with goal Chaves scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 win versus Bayern Munich.

Impact To strengthen the team's defense, especially without Chrislain Matsima (thigh) and Jeffrey Gouweleeuw (knee) available, Augsburg signed Chaves on loan. He made his team debut Saturday and made his debut in one of the best ways possible, by logging Augsburg's first and game-tying goal Saturday. On top of the solid defense, and even though the goal scoring is unlikely to continue, Chaves being part of Augsburg's primary defensive line is an ongoing expectation until further notice.

JANUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Han-Noah Massengo - Scores goal Massengo scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 victory versus Bayern Munich.

Impact After several consecutive seasons without any goals, Massengo has scored two before the current Bundesliga enters February. Along with two goals on 13 shots (three on goal), he has logged 10 chances created, 10 crosses (one accurate), 31 clearances, 22 interceptions and six blocks.

Impact Five ties Dahmen's second-highest save tally this season. For a fourth consecutive game, Dahmen conceded at least one goal, struggling to begin his 2026 calendar year the same way he finished 2025, with clean sheets every other game. The goalkeeper's next chance to play comes Jan. 31 against FC St. Pauli.

Noahkai Banks - Suspension over Banks is no longer suspended and is an option for the club moving forward.

Impact Banks is back with the club after he had to miss the win over Bayern through suspension, only sitting out one game due to the ban. With 13 starts in 15 appearances this season, the defender should almost immediately return to a starting role, his first season in this role.

Kristijan Jakic - Not an option Saturday Jakic (calf) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Bayern.

Impact Jakic is not an option for Saturday as he continues to deal with a calf injury suffered from a fall down the stairs at halftime of the last match. He is unable to pass late testing and remains sidelined. Elvis Rexhbecaj is expected to see increased playing time until he returns to full fitness.

Impact Jakic is still dealing with his calf injury after taking a spill down the stairs at halftime of the last match and is looking to be a late call, needing to pass some testing to be an option.

Impact Jakic was withdrawn at halftime of Sunday's 2-2 draw against Freiburg after sustaining a calf strain following a fall on the stairs during the break. The midfielder has yet to return to full team training this week, casting doubt over his availability for Saturday's matchup against Bayern. Jakic has been a consistent presence in Augsburg's starting lineup in recent matches, meaning his potential absence would need to be covered, with Elvis Rexhbecaj the leading candidate to come into the starting XI.

JANUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Jeffrey Gouweleeuw - Returns to partial training Gouweleeuw (knee) was spotted running and training partially this week, according to Augsburger Allgemeine.

Impact Gouweleeuw is progressing well in his recovery from a knee injury since he was spotted training partially with the team this week and making runs around the training ground. The defender is likely still a few weeks away from making his return to competition, but seems in the final phases of his recovery. Once fully back fit, Gouweleeuw is expected to claim back his undisputed starter role in the backline of Augsburg.
