Impact Irvine is still battling his foot injury and is now questionable to even make his return this season. That said, he appears to be set for testing within the next few days, hoping to get the clearance to return for the final few games of the season. With the season ending May 17, he will have a short window to make it back, leaving him doubtful to make the team sheet again this campaign.

Adam Dzwigala - Appears to be fit Dzwigala (knee) looks to be an option for Sunday's match against Leverkusen, according to manager Alexandre Blessin. "Except for Jackson Irvine, all players are fit to play again."

Impact Dzwigala looks to have shaken off any concerns he was dealing with after his early exit last match, as the defender appears to be fit again. This is good news, as he did start in their last outing. However, he has only started in two of his first 14 appearances this season, possibly returning to the bench.

APRIL 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Danel Sinani - Scores in win Sinani scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 2-1 win over Holstein Kiel.

Impact Irvine will be out for the time being due to a foot injury suffered in his last contest against Kiel. This is a blow for the team since the captain has been an undisputed starter when fit. He will likely be replaced by his compatriot Conor Metcalfe in central midfield until he recovers.

APRIL 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Adam Dzwigala - Forced off injured Dzwigala was forced off in the 64th minute of Saturday's 2-1 win over Kiel due to an apparent knee injury.

Impact Dzwigala looks to have suffered an injury Saturday, with the defender exiting the field due to what appeared to be a knee injury. This will be something to monitor, as he is typically their first option off the bench in the defense. That said, Siebe Van der Heyden is likely to return to his starting spot next contest after returning from an injury of his own, so Dzwigala would probably only see a bench spot if he heals by their next match.

APRIL 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Siebe Van Der Heyden - Returns to bench Van der Heyden (thigh) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Kiel.

Impact Van der Heyden is back from his one-match absence due to a thigh injury, with the defender fit enough to claim a spot on the bench. However, he is typically a starter, hoping to see that role back next contest after testing his legs.

Impact Van der Heyden will be left out Saturday, as the defender is suffering from a thigh injury. This is unfortunate for the club, as he is a regular starter when fit. That said, this will force a change, with a returning Adam Dzwigala (undisclosed) set to return against Gladbach.

APRIL 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Adam Dzwigala - Fit again Dzwigala (undisclosed) is fit for Sunday's match against Gladbach, according to manager Alexandre Blessin. "Adam is fit for the game."

Impact Dzwigala is not seeing any repercussions from his early exit last week, as he is already fit and expected to return. This is a good sign for the defender who started in their last outing. He isn't a regular starter and wouldn't be expected to start, but with Siebe Van der Heyden (thigh) out, Dzwigala could see the start in his spot.

APRIL 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Morgan Guilavogui - Hopeful for time Sunday Guilavogui (ankle) is an option for Sunday's match against Gladbach and is hoping to see time, according to manager Alexandre Blessin. "He's brimming with energy and really wants t...

Impact Guilavogui is finally in for his return after around two weeks of training, with the attacker set to make the team sheet. However, it doesn't appear he will see any starting time, likely seeing a bench spot and a few minutes near the end of the match to test his legs. He is a regular starter when fit and will look to earn that spot back eventually.

APRIL 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

David Nemeth - Credited with assist in loss Nemeth recorded an assist and one chance created in Saturday's 3-2 defeat to Bayern Munich.

Impact Nemeth was credited with an assist, although most of the credit of the goal should go to Lars Ritzka, who blasted an unstoppable shot from outside the box past Jonas Urbig. This was Nemeth's first assist of the season, though as a center-back, most of his value will continue to be tied to what he can do on the defensive side of the ball.
