Impact Jakic is back available for Friday's clash against Hoffenheim after training this week, having missed the last match due to a knock. The midfielder has started five of his last six appearances, so his return could provide a boost, though the coach could again opt to deploy Fabian Rieder in a holding midfield role.

Ruled out with knock Jakic (knock) is unavailable for Saturday's clash against Hamburger after picking up a knock during his return from international duty, according to the club.

Impact Jakic's absence is an untimely blow for Freiburg heading into the weekend, with Fabian Rieder expected to drop deeper into the midfield to cover his role against Hamburger.

Subs off with injury Friday Jakic left the field after suffering an apparent thigh discomfort during Friday's match versus Koln.

Impact Jakic could be dealing with a muscular problem, putting his participation in doubt for upcoming games.

Remains out Saturday Jakic (calf) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against St. Pauli.

Impact Jakic remains unavailable for Saturday's match against St. Pauli as his recovery is not far enough along to pass final testing.

Impact Jakic is still recovering and is now a late call for Saturday, with the midfielder needing some testing ahead of the match. This comes after he earned five starts in their past six games, so the club will hope for his availability. However, if he is left out again, Elvis Rexhbecaj is likely to serve in the midfield in his spot.

Not an option Saturday Jakic (calf) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Bayern.

This will be something to watch after he started in the past two games, with Elvis Rexhbecaj as a possible replacement in the midfield.

Impact Jakic was withdrawn at halftime of Sunday's 2-2 draw against Freiburg after sustaining a calf strain following a fall on the stairs during the break. The midfielder has yet to return to full team training this week, casting doubt over his availability for Saturday's matchup against Bayern. Jakic has been a consistent presence in Augsburg's starting lineup in recent matches, meaning his potential absence would need to be covered, with Elvis Rexhbecaj the leading candidate to come into the starting XI.

JANUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Off at halftime Jakic was forced off at halftime during Sunday's 2-2 draw with Freiburg.

Impact Jakic pulled a muscle while heading into the locker room at halftime and was replaced for the second half by Elvis Rexhbecaj. Jakic's status for Saturday's trip to Bayern is in doubt.

JANUARY 18 • ROTOWIRE

Available on Sunday Jakic (ankle) is a bench option for Sunday's game versus Monchengladbach.

Late call to face Gladbach Jakic (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's match against Galdbach, according to manager Manuel Baum.

Impact Jakic is going to need some testing ahead of Sunday's match, as the defender has been struggling with an ankle injury that will leave him as a late call. That said, even if he is an option, the midfielder appears to be unable to play the full 90, potentially serving off the bench. He started in their past three games, so this would force a change, with Elvis Rexhbecaj as a possible replacement.

JANUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Jakic stepped on the foot of one of his opponent and twisted his ankle, forcing him off before the hour-mark. The midfielder contributed decently in the game, setting a new season high with three chances created and adding three tackles and two clearances to his shift. Jakic will have several weeks to recover from the issue and if he had to miss some time, it would be a blow since he has been a regular starter for Ausgburg this season, with Elvis Rexhbecaj likely getting a larger role in his spot if he is out.

DECEMBER 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Two shots in loss Jakic had two shots (zero on goal) in Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt.

Impact Jakic was back in the starting XI against his former club and took a pair of shots. Neither of those shots were particularly threatening though and the defensive midfielder largely struggled to impact the match. Jakic remains a limited offensive option moving forward so he has little upside in most domestic matches.

DECEMBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

On bench against Hoffenheim Jakic (knee) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Hoffenheim.

Impact Jakic missed the last match against Hamburger because of knee joint problems but managed to train fully with the group this week. He returns to action on Saturday but only as a bench option against Hoffenheim, reflecting the fact that he remained an unused substitute in the two games before his injury. That said, his presence provides depth but does not alter the hierarchy in midfield.
