Impact Mets is set to start in the backline for St Pauli against Gladbach on Saturday after training fully on Thursday.

Impact Mets is an option to face Gladbach on Saturday after training in full on Thursday. The defender was forced off during the DFB Pokal clash against Hoffenheim due to cramps, which have not caused any further issue. Mets started the last two games across all competitions for St Pauli and could return to the lineup on Saturday.

Forced off late Tuesday Mets (undisclosed) was forced off with an apparent issue in the stoppage time of Tuesday's DFB Pokal victory against Hoffenheim.

Impact Mets returned in recent weeks from a long-term knee injury and started two games in a row, against Frankfurt on Saturday and Hoffenheim in the DFB Pokal clash on Tuesday. The defender apparently suffered an issue, but it remains to be seen whether it is an injury or only some discomfort after playing almost two full games in a row for the first time in nearly a year. If he has to miss out or start on the bench in Saturday's clash against Gladbach, Adam Dzwigala is expected to see increased playing time in the back three of St. Pauli.

Set to return Mets (knee) is set to make his season debut during Saturday's clash with Leverkusen, according to manager Alexander Blessin.

Impact Mets has been working his way back from a serious knee issue, and is now set to make his return. The defender isn't likely to be a major piece of the starting XI immediately, especially after a year on the sideline. Still, he could have the chance to build some fitness before the international break.

Training but not fit yet Mets (knee) trained with the team and is progressing well but he isn't yet fit to feature for St. Pauli, coach Alexander Blessin said in the press conference.

Impact Mets has resumed team training with St. Pauli and is progressing well in his recovery from a knee injury, but he is not yet fit to feature for the club. His timeline for return remains uncertain as it will likely depend on his sensations in the coming weeks. That said, after almost a year out of action, the club will likely be cautious with him and gradually build his fitness before allowing him to reclaim his starting role at St. Pauli.

Trains, status unknown Mets (knee) is questionable for Sunday's match against Augsburg after training with the team, according to Hamburger Morgenpost.

Impact Mets started the week off by training with the club and seems to be inching towards a return, although the club is taking his return cautiously after he suffered a setback before. That said, he is a late call for the game, likely needing to pass some testing to be deemed fit. Even if he is fit, the club will want to be careful after his long layoff, possibly seeing a bench spot if deemed fit.

Suffers setback in training Mets (knee) has recently resumed partial training but suffered a setback from his long-term injury and will have to take another break, coach Alexander Blessin said in a press conf...

Impact Mets suffered a season-ending knee injury last November and only recently resumed partial training with the team after many months out, but he will now face another break after suffering a setback and being diagnosed with a stress reaction. This is a major blow for the club, as Mets is an undisputed starter in the backline when available.

Back in team training Mets (knee) returned to team training Tuesday, St. Pauli Abendblatt reports.

Impact Mets last appeared in November 2024 and has been slowly working his way back from a tendon injury. The defender was a clear first-choice center-back when fit, and would be a major boon if deemed fit. He's in doubt for the season opener, but should be back during the first portion of the campaign. David Nemeth took on a starting role with Mets on the mend.

Impact Mets initially agreed to conservative treatment for his knee injury before opting for surgery, which will sideline him for several months. This is a significant blow to the team as he is an undisputed starter in the backline when fully fit. David Nemeth will continue as a starter in the backline for now.

Training on his own Mets is training on his own and is still not ready to return to action, the club announced Monday.

Impact Mets is working his way back from a knee injury, and while seeing him back in training is a welcomed sight, he's not ready to return to action yet. The fact that he's training on his own suggests he should be, at least, a couple of weeks away from returning to action yet.

Impact Mets has increased his pace in his runs but remains out for the time being since the staff does not want to rush him back. His timeline for return remains unsure even though he is getting closer and intensifying his exercises. David Nemeth will continue to replace him in the back three for now.

Impact Mets will need more time before returning as the medical staff wants to avoid any risks and ensure his knee feels stable. David Nemeth is expected to continue replacing him in defense until his return.

FEBRUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Out until new year Mets (knee) will not return in 2024, according to manager Alexander Blessin. "Karol will no longer be enough for this calendar year."

Impact Mets will be sidelined until 2025, as the defender is not returning from his knee issues until after the winter break. This continues to be a tough loss for the club, as he is a regular starter when fit. David Nemeth will likely continue seeing the start while he is out.

Not playing Friday Mets (knee) is out for Friday's game against Holstein Kiel.

Impact Mets will be a late call for Friday after missing the club's last match with knee issues, as his availability will likely come down to a late fitness test. That said, his status will likely not be known until game time. He is a regular starter, so they will hope for his availability, with David Nemeth as his probable replacement if out again.
