Impact Pereira Lage missed Saturday's win over Stuttgart with a muscle issue and still has not returned to team training after only doing individual work on the grass Tuesday. The attacking midfielder had been a locked-in starter for St. Pauli earlier in the season but has slid into a bench role over the last two matches, largely following the recent arrival of Mathias Rasmussen.

Eric Smith - Still not training Smith (heel) was still not training with the squad on Tuesday, according to Abendblatt St. Pauli.

Impact Smith sat out the previous match with a heel injury and remained sidelined from training Tuesday, raising real doubt about his availability for Saturday's clash against Leverkusen. Further scans are expected in the coming days, and the hope is he can rejoin full team training before the end of the week. He is a locked-in starter whether in defense or midfield for St. Pauli, so another absence would force a reshuffle in the XI, with Adam Dzwigala likely stepping in once again.

Impact Pyrka helped get the scoring started by assisting on FC St. Pauli's opening goal. The defender created four chances overall and he'll need to be involved in the offensive third against Leverkusen for St. Pauli to keep this winning run going. Leverkusen have only conceded 27 times in 20 matches this season.

Impact Saliakas scored the opening goal for St. Pauli in an important win given where the team is in the standings. The midfielder will need to be more accurate with his service if he wants to help his side gets points off Bayer Leverkusen next. Leverkusen are sixth in the table and have only allowed 27 goals in 20 Bundesliga matches.

Impact Sinani was all over the place for St. Pauli with a goal and plenty of service to keep the team's offense going. He will need to put on a similar performance for St. Pauli to take points against a Bayer Leverkusen team which has only conceded 27 goals in 20 matches.

Eric Smith - Could play Saturday Smith (heel) is questionable for Saturday's match against Stuttgart, according to manager Alexander Blessin.

Impact Smith is going to need some testing heading into Saturday's match, as the defender will need to overcome a heel injury. Unfortunately for the club, they will monitor this closely, as he has only missed one start all season between the defense and midfield. If he is unable to play, they are already without Hauke Wahl, likely forcing Adam Dzwigala and Tomoya Ando into starting roles.

Hauke Wahl - Won't play Saturday Wahl (knee) is out for Saturday's match against Stuttgart, according to manager Alexander Blessin. "Hauke won't be fit for the match either."

Impact Wahl is not going to be with his club Saturday, one of the few players sidelined due to his injury. This is something to watch as the club continues moving forward, as it is an MCL sprain, possibly missing a few games as he recovers. This is a major loss as it is only his third missed start all season, with Adam Dzwigala and Tomoya Ando as possible replacements.

Hauke Wahl - Suffers MCL sprain Wahl suffered a MCL sprain during the last training session ahead of the last clash against Augsburg and remains a doubt for Saturday's game against Stuttgart, coach Alexander Bles...

Impact Wahl is battling an MCL sprain, a painful issue that has forced him to miss the last two matches across all competitions after picking up the injury on Friday in a training session. The defender is pushing to recover in time for Saturday's clash against Stuttgart, especially with David Nemeth (groin) still sidelined and Eric Smith (heel) also a doubt, leaving coach Alexander Blessin short on defensive options. That situation could put added pressure on a back line already stretched thin.

Eric Smith - Dealing with heel issues Smith (heel) missed Tuesday's 3-0 defeat against Leverkusen in the DFB Pokal due to an injury, coach Alexander Blessin confirmed in a press conference, according to Maximilian Bron...

Impact Smith is dealing with heel issues and was unable to feature in Tuesday's clash against Leverkusen. The versatile midfielder is expected to be evaluated in the coming days, with a Bundesliga matchup against Stuttgart looming in less than three days, and with David Nemeth (groin) still sidelined and Hauke Wahl (knee) also questionable, head coach Alexander Blessin is dealing with extremely thin defensive depth if both miss the match.

Ricky Jade-Jones - Suffers apparent injury Jones (undisclosed) was forced off late during Tuesday's 3-0 defeat against Leverkusen in the DFB Pokal due to an apparent injury.

Impact Jones was unable to finish Tuesday's DFB Pokal clash against Leverkusen after picking up an apparent injury that required treatment on the pitch. The forward is expected to be evaluated in the coming days to determine the severity of the issue and whether he will need time on the sidelines. Jones has started in his last two appearances, so his status is one to monitor closely as it could influence the starting lineup for Saturday's showdown with Stuttgart. If he is forced to miss the match, Martijn Kaars could be next in line to reclaim the starting role at the number 9.

Adam Dzwigala - Clears illness Dzwigala (illness) was back on the bench during Tuesday's 3-0 defeat against Leverkusen in the DFB Pokal.

Impact Dzwigala appears to have moved past the illness that forced him to miss Saturday's clash against Augsburg, as he returned to the bench in Tuesday's DFB Pokal loss to the Werkself. He had been a regular starter for St. Pauli before falling ill, starting each of his previous four appearances, which suggests he should be in line for meaningful minutes again in the upcoming fixtures.

Eric Smith - Active display in loss Smith had one shot on goal, created one chance, sent in five crosses (one accurate) and made one tackle, seven clearances, one interception and one block during Saturday's 2-1 loss...

Impact Smith had his best performance in a while with a heavy-workload shift, mixing modest attacking involvement with strong peripheral output that buoyed his fantasy floor. The crossing volume hints at some latent creative upside, but St. Pauli's uneven structure means his returns will still swing with match state. His defensive actions were consistent and should remain stable, giving him streamer appeal in formats that reward clearances and blocks. He is a viable depth piece with a dependable floor but limited ceiling.

FEBRUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Nikola Vasilj - Allows two in loss Vasilj made four saves and conceded two goals during Saturday's 2-1 loss against Augsburg.

Impact Vasilj faced steady pressure behind a backline that offered little protection, but his save tally kept the floor from collapsing in a rough matchup. The goals he conceded were more about structural issues than individual errors, so there is no clear form concern. Still, St. Pauli's defensive volatility limits his ceiling, making him a deeper-league streamer who depends heavily on volume for fantasy relevance.

FEBRUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Danel Sinani - Converts PK in loss Sinani scored a penalty goal, had three shots (two on target), created one chance and sent in two crosses (one accurate) during Saturday's 2-1 loss against Augsburg.

Impact Sinani finally broke his long scoring drought with a confident spot kick, and the underlying activity suggests he was more than a one-action contributor. His blend of shooting and light creative work points to a moderate ceiling, but St. Pauli's inconsistent attack keeps his week-to-week output volatile.

Adam Dzwigala - Dealing with illness Dzwigala (illness) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Augsburg, the club announced.

Impact Dzwigala won't be available for Saturday's clash against Augsburg since he is dealing with illness. The defender will miss a second game in a row after missing the last contest due to suspension. Dzwigala started each of his last four appearances, therefore his absence forces a change in the backline, with newcomer Tomoya Ando getting a larger role from scratch with his new club.

Hauke Wahl - Ruled out due to injury Wahl (undisclosed) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Augsburg due to an injury, the club announced.

Impact Wahl won't be available for Saturday's clash against Augsburg since he suffered an injury in the final training session ahead of the game. The defender will hope to be back available for next week's fixture against Stuttgart since he is an undisputed starter in the backline of St. Pauli and his absence is a blow for the team. Eric Smith will move down on the pitch to replace him in the backline on Saturday.

JANUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Nikola Vasilj - Five saves in draw Vasilj allowed a goal while making five saves during Tuesday's 1-1 draw with RB Leipzig.

Impact Vasilj allowed the opening goal of the match in the 66th minute but held Leipzig from there as St. Pauli found a late equalizer. The keeper has allowed four goals while keeping a clean sheet and combining for nine saves over his last three starts. St. Pauli head to Augsburg on Saturday.

JANUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Adam Dzwigala - Available after suspension Dzwigala is an option again after serving his one-game ban during Tuesday's game versus Leipzig.

Impact Dzwigala should be able to return to the starting lineup at the expense of Tomoya Ando for future contests. The 30-year-old has logged one goal and one assist over his previous 12 matches played (nine starts) in the current Bundesliga campaign, and he has also been reliable for various tackles and multiple clearances almost every time he has been on the pitch.
