Arijon Ibrahimovic - Makes starting XI Ibrahimovic (illness) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash against Bayern Munich.

Impact Ibrahimovic passed his late fitness test after manager Frank Schmidt expressed hope he would be able to rejoin training Friday, earning a starting role despite the illness that had disrupted his week. The forward has started 22 matches this season and is a critical piece of Heidenheim's attack, and his clearance spares the coach from having to turn to other options on the right flank or in the attacking midfield role. His ability to come through the game-time decision in good shape is a significant boost for a side facing a tough test against Bayern.

Impact Conteh is going to join his brother on the sidelines this week, as he will have to step away from the club to attend a funeral. He will likely just miss the one match as he leaves the club, set to return after some time around his family.

Arijon Ibrahimovic - Dealt illness Ibrahimovic is dealing with an illness and is questionable for Saturday's match against Bayern Munich, according to manager Frank Schmidt. "Arijon was sick this week. But I hope h...

Impact Ibrahimovic is going to need some late testing ahead of Saturday's match, hoping he can train Friday and make the team sheet after an illness. This will likely depend on how he feels when waking up on Sunday, making it a true game time decison. He is a starting forward on the team, so this could be a critical loss, starting in 22 games. If he does miss out, Eren Dinkci should remain on the right flank or as an attacking midfielder in Ibrahimovic's spot.

Benedikt Gimber - Fit and available Gimber (undisclosed) is available for Saturday's game at Bayern Munich, according to manager Frank Schmidt.

Impact Gimber wasn't mentioned among the players who are dealing with injuries and knocks ahead of Saturday's clash against the reigning champions, so he should be in the mix. That said, his fantasy appeal in a tough matchup is almost non-existent -- especially since Gimber's upside is tied almost exclusively to his defensive contributions. He's started in 18 of the 21 matches he's been available for, tallying 89 clearances, 35 tackles and 13 interceptions.

Mikkel Kaufmann - Back in training, fit again Kaufmann (calf) is back in training and cleared for play again, according to manager Frank Schmidt. "The rest have trained and are available."

Impact Kaufmann has been battling his injury for around a month now, but is in the saddle for a return, as he was not on the injury report and has trained. He has not earned too much time this season, just totalling over 500 minutes of play, so expect him to see a lesser role from the bench. He will just be happy to end the season fit, earning one assist and one goal in 15 appearances (six starts) this season.

In addition to his goal, the forward contributed three tackles (two won), one interception and two clearances to the defensive effort across his 89 minutes of play. the goal marks Dinkci's second for Heidenheim this campaign, across 11 appearances (10 starts).

Impact Zivzivadze scrambled home the ball at the goalmouth Saturday following a corner routine early in the first half of FC Heidenheim's 2-0 road victory over FC St. Pauli. The goal marked the third successive appearance (first start) in which the forward has scored. The trio of April goals give Zivzivadze four on the campaign and break a goal drought that dated back to October 2025.

Across his last five starting appearances, the veteran keeper has made 13 saves and four clearances while conceding eight goals.

Mathias Honsak - Not available Saturday Honsak (undisclosed) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against St. Pauli.

Impact Honsak has been unable to pass his late fitness test after coach Frank Schmidt confirmed he would assess his status following Friday's final training session, with the undisclosed issue proving too significant to clear in time. The forward's absence is a blow for Heidenheim as they look to pick up crucial points in their fight for Bundesliga survival in the final fixtures of the season. Stefan Schimmer and Christian Joe Conteh are expected to see increased playing time in his place, with Honsak's availability for the coming fixtures to be monitored as no specific details on the nature of the issue have been provided.

Benedikt Gimber - Remains out Gimber (undisclosed) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against St. Pauli.

Impact Gimber has been unable to shake off the undisclosed injury that ruled him out of the Union Berlin fixture two weeks ago, with coach Frank Schmidt confirming his continued unavailability ahead of the weekend. The center-back has made 21 starts this season and is an important piece of the defensive setup, making his absence a concern for a side still fighting to avoid relegation in the final weeks of the Bundesliga campaign. Patrick Mainka and Tim Siersleben are expected to continue covering in central defense, with Gimber's return timeline remaining uncertain.
