Across his last five appearances (five starts), Rieder has recorded 10 chances created from 23 crosses (seven accurate) and 15 corners while scoring twice and assisting twice.

Elvis Rexhbecaj - Not available Saturday Rexhbecaj (back) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Koln.

Impact Rexhbecaj was ruled out of Saturday's match after failing a late fitness test for his back injury. He had been working towards a return during the week and was considered a late call but ultimately didn't make the squad. His absence required a change in midfield, with Alexis Claude-Maurice and Kristijan Jakic getting increased playing time.

Arne Maier - On bench Saturday Maier (illness) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Koln.

Impact Maier has passed his illness-related testing and is back in the squad, taking a spot on the bench for Saturday's match. The midfielder has only featured for three minutes this season, so his role is likely to remain limited barring unexpected circumstances. It's still a positive step in his recovery and availability moving forward.

Jeffrey Gouweleeuw - Ruled out Saturday Gouweleeuw (knee) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Koln.

Impact Gouweleeuw has been ruled out for Saturday's match despite returning to training this week. The defender is still building fitness and isn't quite ready for selection. He remains a key starter when available, so the club will hope he can return soon.

Elvis Rexhbecaj - Questionable to face Koln Rexhbecaj (back) is questionable for Saturday's match against Koln, according to manager Sandro Wagner. "Elvis had to cancel the game with a small back problem. It would have to be...

Impact Rexhbecaj was forced off the last match with a back injury, but appears to be working towards a return this week, with the midfielder now a late call. He will be tested again Friday ahead of the match to see his fitness levels, possibly featuring if he passes. He did start in their last match, so the club will likely need a change, with Alexis Claude-Maurice or Kristijan Jakic as possible replacements in the midfield.

Jeffrey Gouweleeuw - Doubtful for Saturday Gouweleeuw (knee) is doubtful for Saturday's match against Koln, according to manager Sandro Wagner. "At Jeff's, we have to wait for tomorrow's training. He trained 70 to 80 percen...

Impact Gouweleeuw was back in training this week but is still working for a return this weekend, currently on the outside but not yet ruled out. However, his return would come as more of a surprise, with the defender expected to need more time. He is a starter when fit, so they will hope he is an option even if it is from a limited position.

OCTOBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Jeffrey Gouweleeuw - Returns to pitch Gouweleeuw (knee) returned to the pitch for training Tuesday, Augsburger Allgemeine reports.

Impact Gouweleeuw got back in training Tuesday and is on pace for a return during Saturday's trip to Koln. The defender is back in the squad after suffering a partial MCL tear in September. Now that he's trending towards returning to play, he'd be immediately thrown into the starting XI.

Elvis Rexhbecaj - Forced off injured Rexhbecaj (undisclosed) was forced off in the 51st minute of Friday's 0-0 draw against Slovenia due to injury, according to Koha.

Impact Rexhbecaj suffered an apparent injury in Friday's draw against Slovenia and was forced off right after the break. This is a big blow for the midfielder since he has been decent for his country and started three of his last four appearances for Augsburg. He will likely be assessed in the coming days to know the extent of the issue, but if he has to miss some time, Robin Fellhauer will likely get a larger role in the midfield.

Noahkai Banks - 73 minutes during friendly Banks (undisclosed) started and played 73 minutes in a friendly against SSV Ulm on Wednesday.

Impact Banks was forced off in the club's last match before the break, but is already an option and playing again, getting the start for a friendly. This should clear the defender for action moving forward, appearing just days after picking up the apparent injury. He has only started in one of his six appearances on the team sheet this season, and will hope to continue in a starting spot after earning that role last time out.

Impact Saturday marked back-to-back games in which Rieder has logged an assist. Going back to the first half of September, his last four appearances include one goal and two assists. Last season, with VfB Stuttgart, Rieder logged one goal and three assists on 21 appearances, so his current form is easily a significant improvement that he will want to last.

Noahkai Banks - Goal before injury Banks scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 3-1 win versus Wolfsburg. He was injured and subbed out in the 84th minute.

Impact Banks' latest start marks his first for the 2025-26 Bundesliga, and he rewarded the decision by scoring a goal, also his first. Unfortunately for the center-back, he was unable to finish the game, as an undisclosed injury took him out of commission and makes him questionable as Augsburg's team prepares for a Koln matchup on Oct. 18.

Impact Komur followed up his August, with one goal and one assist, with zero G/A in September. But with only one October appearance, he has replicated the two G/A with another goal and assist, both his second this season. Komur's 2025-26 season is already a significant improvement from his 2024-25 campaign, in which his 20 appearances include two goals and one assist. To surpass the three G/A, all Komur needed was six appearances this season.

Finn Dahmen - Three saves, one goal conceded Dahmen recorded three saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 3-1 victory over Wolfsburg.

Impact For a second straight game, Dahmen logged three saves. But unlike the goalkeeper's previous appearance, he did not concede multiple goals. Dahmen's 2025-26 season remains without a clean sheet after six appearances, and the seventh is scheduled for Oct. 18 at Koln.

Arne Maier - Late call with cold Maier is questionable for Saturday's match against Wolfsburg due to a cold, according to manager Sandro Wagner. "Arne has a slight cold, so we can't say yet whether it will be enou...

Impact Maier is going to need to pass some testing to be an option Saturday, with the midfielder suffering from an illness heading into the weekend. Luckily for the club, this is a minor loss if he misses out, only featuring for three minutes off the bench all season. That said, even if he is fit, a bench spot is only expected for the midfielder.

OCTOBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Finn Dahmen - Three saves for loss Dahmen made three saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against FC Heidenheim.

Impact Dahmen faced five shots and stopped three of them during Saturday's loss. It was a decent performance on the whole, but he would have wanted to do enough to come away with the draw. Dahmen has some tough matches coming up which should give him upside with plenty of shots, though there's some major variance especially with the defense in front of him struggling to limit dangerous chances.

SEPTEMBER 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Cedric Zesiger - Busy defensively Zesiger registered one tackle (one won) and four clearances in Saturday's 2-1 loss against FC Heidenheim. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 4th minute.

Impact Zesiger was busy defensively throughout Saturday's loss, making four clearances and a single tackle. He didn't do enough to limit the Heidenheim attack, but he did come through with some impressive contributions. Zesiger's upside is limited to his defensive work, especially since he's often left as the deepest lying member of the defense in possession.

SEPTEMBER 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Fabian Rieder - Assists despite loss Rieder assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal), seven crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to FC Heidenheim. In addition, he was given a yellow...

Impact Rieder set up the only goal during Saturday's frustrating loss. The attacking midfielder has made himself an important part of the starting XI, and is starting to produce even more from open play. He has good upside and a solid floor based on his duty on set-pieces as well. Rieder should continue to be a consistent start as long as he stays fit.
