Impact Simpson-Pusey's return to contention comes after being left out of the squad for Sunday's clash against Heidenheim following a late arrival to the pre-match training session.

Impact Simpson-Pusey had already served his suspension and was expected to feature against Frankfurt, but the arrival of his child made the decision straightforward for the 20-year-old.

Impact Simpson-Pusey had been expected to feature against Frankfurt after serving his suspension, but pulled out of the final training session before the match. Koln gave the 20-year-old a day off in hopes he could travel to Frankfurt at short notice, though ultimately the club moved forward without him. The English center-back has started five of his six appearances for the Goats this season, but his status heading into Sunday remains unclear under new coach Rene Wagner, who will need to assess his situation before making a call on his involvement against Bremen.

Impact Simpson-Pusey was serving a two-game ban but is back in the mix coming next contest, with his ban finally over as they enter April play.

Suspended two games Simpson-Pusey has had his suspension upgraded to two games, according to his club and the DFB sports court.

Impact Simpson-Pusey was sent off in Saturday's match and has been handed his verdict from the sports court, as he will miss two games due to the red card. This will keep him out to face Hamburger on March 14 and Gladbach on March 21, not returning until after the international break. After two straight starts, this is a rough development, with Cenk Ozkacar likely to take his spot.

Red card Saturday Simpson-Pusey was sent off in the 45th minute of Saturday's match against Dortmund.

Impact Simpson-Pusey was sent off with a straight red card during the first half of Saturday's clash against Dortmund and will miss at least one match due to suspension. Cenk Ozkacar is expected to start in defense in his place during his absence.

Impact Simpson-Pusey is back available and could be an option off the bench for Saturday's clash against Hoffenheim after missing the last four matches due to a thigh injury. The defender had started the four matches prior to his setback but is expected to be eased back into action as a substitute for the time being.

Training individually Simpson-Pusey is still rehabbing a thigh injury and training on his own, remaining far from a return to the match squad, according to Alexander Haubrichs from Geissblog Koeln.

Impact Simpson-Pusey picked up a thigh injury about a month ago and remains in rehab while training individually. The defender is not close to a return to the match squad and is expected to need several more weeks to fully recover from the structural issue. In the meantime, Cenk Ozkacar stands to benefit the most with increased playing time during his absence.

Impact Simpson-Pusey has been dealing with a muscle injury this week and won't be an option for Sunday's clash against Freiburg. This is a blow for the goats since he started the three games after arriving at his new club and his absence will therefore force a change in the starting XI, with Cenk Ozkacar as the main option to replace him.
