Lorenz Assignon - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Could return after international break Assignon (shoulder) is not a squad candidate yet and is expected to return to the squad after the international break, according to coach Sebastian HoeneB. "We must not forget he w...

Impact Assignon has been sidelined for four months and remains short of the level required for a place in the squad, with Sebastian HoeneB saying he will likely need another one or two weeks. The right-back will therefore miss Wednesday's Champions league opener against Viking as well as Saturday's game against TSG Hoffenheim, while his return is currently expected after the international break. Assignon was primarily used as a rotation option alongside Joshua Vagnoman last season, and his return should restore another depth option at right-back once he is deemed ready.

Back available moving forward Assignon is back fully in team training after nearly three months sidelined with a shoulder injury, according to coach Sebastian Hoeness. "Lorenz has fully rejoined team training."

Impact Assignon can now complete the full program with his teammates for the first time in a long while, and while he will likely still need to build up match sharpness, this marks a significant step toward becoming an option for the matchday squad again. Josha Vagnoman figures to continue in the starting role at right back in the meantime as Assignon works his way back into contention.

Impact Assignon is nearing the final stage of his recovery from a shoulder injury after progressing to partial team training. The right-back has yet to resume unrestricted work with his teammates, however, and coach Sebastian Hoeness did not provide a specific timeline for when he will be fully reintegrated. Josha Vagnoman is expected to continue in the starting role at right-back while Assignon remains unavailable.

Back on the pitch Assignon is back doing initial exercises on the training pitch as he continues his rehabilitation from shoulder surgery, according to Bild.

Impact Assignon dealt with recurring shoulder issues throughout last season and underwent surgery just days after the DFB Pokal final against Bayern Munich. He completed the first part of his rehab in France before returning to Stuttgart last week to continue his buildup, remaining fully on track with his recovery timeline. He is still training apart from his teammates, with a full return to team training still some ways off, though an August comeback appears realistic based on his progress. Assignon is expected to continue building toward full team training in the coming weeks.

Out until end of August Assignon will remain out until at least the end of August after undergoing left shoulder joint surgery following the conclusion of last season, according to Kicker.

Impact Assignon has been working through rehabilitation after undergoing surgery on his left shoulder at the end of last season, and reports have now flagged his absence as a concern that could extend until the end of August. His playing time had already been unpredictable prior to the injury, with both starts and bench appearances common due to rotation at his position and Stuttgart's shifts to a back three. Joshua Vagnoman and Leonidas Stergiou represent the direct alternatives in his absence, while Jamie Leweling can also fill in on the right if a back-three system is used.

JULY 22 • ROTOWIRE

In rehabilitation process Assignon underwent successful shoulder surgery and is currently in the rehabilitation process, according to the club.

Impact Assignon's rehabilitation follows recurring left shoulder issues that limited him to 24 of a possible 34 Bundesliga appearances last season, and his progress through the reeducation process will be the key factor determining how much of preseason he is able to take part in. His recovery timeline remains worth tracking closely as Stuttgart builds toward the new 2026/27 Bundesliga campaign.

Impact Assignon had already been limited to 24 of a possible 34 Bundesliga appearances this season due to the persistent shoulder issues, and the surgical intervention brings some uncertainty over his availability for Stuttgart's pre-season preparations in mid-July. His absence opens the door for Leonidas Stergiou, who returns from his loan at Heidenheim, to regain a role as the backup right-back behind Josha Vagnoman.

Impact Assignon won't be able to feature in the last game of the year on Saturday against Hoffenheim since he is currently dealing with shoulder problems.

He will miss their next match and return against Hoffenheim on Dec. 20, likely to return to a bench spot when an option.
