Luca Jaquez - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Back in action Thursday Jaquez (illness) made one clearance and one block as a substitute in Thursday's UEFA Europa League win over Celtic.

Impact Jaquez was given 12 minutes on the pitch in Jeff Chabot's place against the Scottish side. The young defender is now an option alongside Chabot and Finn Jeltsch in the middle of the back line and could be a source of clearances when he's on the field. However, it's unlikely that Jaquez will take over a starting role right away.

Available for Europa League Jaquez (illness) is ready to play in Thursday's UEFA Europa League play-off clash with Celtic, with coach Sebastian Hoeness confirming his availability in press conference.

Impact Jaquez has barely played in 2026 due to injuries and illness, but he could return for a few minutes in the European competition. In that case, the defender will challenge Jeff Chabot and Finn Jeltsch in the middle spots and could be trusted mainly for clearances if given meaningful time on the field.

Ruled out due to illness Jaquez (illness) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Koln.

Impact Jaquez remains unavailable for Saturday's clash against Koln despite returning to the training pitch this week. The defender is nearing full fitness, but Stuttgart will likely be cautious as he works his way back from his extended spell on the sidelines.

Clears illness Jaquez (illness) is back in contention for Saturday's clash against Koln, coach Sebastian Hoeness said in the press conference.

Impact Jaquez is back on the training pitch after shaking off his illness and is close to full fitness, putting him back in the mix for Saturday's showdown against Koln. That's a major boost for Stuttgart, who get another option back in the squad after his extended spell on the sidelines. Still, he's expected to ease back into action with a spot on the bench as he works his way up to full match sharpness.

FEBRUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Still suffering from infection Jaquez (illness) won't be an option for Saturday's clash against St. Pauli, coach Sebastian Hoeness said in the press conference.

Impact Jaquez is still suffering from the effects of an infection and will therefore not be able to be part of the squad for Saturday's clash against St. Pauli. The defender will likely be assessed at the beginning of the week to know if he can return to the match squad moving forward. That said, after such a long time on the sidelines, his return is unlikely to be rushed.

FEBRUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Back on bench Jaquez (thigh) was back on the bench for Thrusday's 3-2 victory against Young Boys in the Europa League, confirming he is back available for Stuttgart.

Impact Jaquez missed all the games since late November due to a thigh injury but the defender was back available on the bench during Thrusday's victory against Young Boys, confirming he is an option moving forward for Stuttgart. That said, with such a long time on the sidelines, the defender will likely build his fitness off the bench before competing for the starting role he had prior to his injury.

JANUARY 29 • ROTOWIRE

Training, not yet fit Jaquez (thigh) is training but still out for Thursday's match against Roma, according to manager Sebastian Hoeness. "Luca is in training, but not quite there yet."

Impact Jaquez is nearing his return from injury as he was able to join training this week. However, he still needs more time, as the defender has not been cleared for Thursday, instead likely to wait another week before a return. He could potentially make Sunday's match against Gladbach, although that appears to be too soon.

Expected to miss two more games Jaquez (thigh) is expected to miss two more Bundesliga games, VfB Sporting Director Fabian Wohlgemuth said to the media, according to the Stuttgarter Nachrichten. "We have to assum...

Impact Jaquez is still dealing with his thigh injury and will likely miss the next two Bundesliga games before making a fitness assessment on his condition. The defender's earliest chance to play will likely be against Union Berlin on Jan. 18. Jaquez has been a regular starter prior to his injury, therefore his absence is forcing a change in the backline, with Jeff Chabot and Ramon Hendriks expected to pair in central defense while he is sidelined.

JANUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play again in 2025 Jaquez (undisclosed) suffered a serious muscle injury and won't play again in 2025, coach Sebastian Hoeness said in a press conference. "Luca has suffered a serious muscle injury,...

Impact Jaquez missed the last game due to suffering a severe thigh muscle injury that will also rule him out for the rest of the year. This is a blow for Stuttgart since he has been a decnet option in the backline this season for Stuttgart, although he should hold a rotational role once fully back fit at the start of 2026.

DECEMBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Missing with thigh injury Jaquez is out for Sunday's match against Hamburger due to a thigh injury, according to his club.

Impact Jaquez is a late absentee for Sunday's outing, as the defender has been left out for further testing after suffering a thigh injury. Unfortunately, he has remained in Stuttgart with the team, likely to be met with a further report Monday. This comes just after a two-game absence, hoping he won't miss further time, a rotational option for the club when available.

NOVEMBER 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Plays 22 minutes in Europa League Jaquez (goin) made three clearances as a substitute during Thursday's 4-0 win over Go Ahead Eagles.

Impact Jaquez has bounced back following a three-week absence and should challenge Jeff Chabot, Ramon Hendriks and Finn Jeltsch for center-back spots going forward. Prior to the injury, Jaquez was averaging 3.4 clearances and 1.0 interceptions per game in the Bundesliga season, although he had made only five starts in that competition.

NOVEMBER 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Saturday Jaquez (groin) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Dortmund.

Impact Jaquez suffered a groin injury and missed international duty with Switzerland because of it. Even though he has taken part in the first portions of team training in recent days, he is not ready to return which means he remains out for the match against Dortmund. Jeff Chabot or Dan-Axel Zagadou will likely see increased playing time until he returns fully fit.

NOVEMBER 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Trains partially, still doubtful Jaquez (groin) made first parts of team training again but remains a doubt for Saturday's clash against Dortmund, coach Sebastian Hoeness said in the press conference. "Luca has do...

Impact Jaquez suffered a groin injury and missed international duty with Switzerland because of it. The defender has taken part in the first portions of team training in recent days and will likely be a late call for Saturday's clash against Dortmund. If Jaquez is unable to make the squad, Jeff Chabot or Dan-Axel Zagadou would be the likely options to replace him in central defense.

NOVEMBER 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Unable to play with Switzerland Jaquez is not traveling with the Swiss national team after not being able to train due to his groin injury, according to his national team.

Impact Jaquez missed the club's last match with a groin injury and is still not recovering during the international break, as the defender has been unable to train. That said, the defender will not travel with the team, unable to play Tuesday. A return when Stuttgart resumes play on Nov. 22 seems unlikely unless he can resume training with his club, with Jeff Chabot, Finn Jeltsch or Dan-Axel Zagadou to make up the center-back duo if he remains out.

NOVEMBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers groin injury Jaquez suffered a groin injury in the warm-up of Thursday's clash with Feyenoord and is ruled out for the time being, the club announced.

Impact Jaquez won't feature in Sunday's clash against Augsburg after suffering a groin injury during the warm-up ahead of Thursday's match against Feyenoord. The defender underwent scans on Friday that revealed a lesion, which will keep him sidelined for the time being. Jaquez has been a regular starter in the backline recently, so his absence will force a change in the starting XI, with Finn Jeltsch likely stepping into the central defense while he is out.

NOVEMBER 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Scratched Thursday Jaquez was a late scratch ahead of Thursday's clash with Feyenoord, Stuttgart announced.

Impact Jaquez was scratched just minutes before Thursday's match, with Josh Vagnoman coming in to replace him. Jaquez will have one chance to return before the international break, a Sunday clash with Augsburg. Jaquez has started six of the last seven matches and all but one match he's been fit for, so any extended absence could even force a change back to a back-four.

NOVEMBER 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Credited with assist in loss Jaquez assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-1 defeat against RB Leipzig.

Impact Jaquez isn't known for making assists as a defender, but he delivered an excellent long pass that allowed Tiago Tomas to round the keeper and score into the open goal. Jaquez should continue to earn most of his fantasy upside via defensive stats, though.

NOVEMBER 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Plays off bench Jaquez (nose) came off the bench during Thursday's 2-1 win over Celta Vigo.

Impact Jaquez missed the start of the season with a fractured nose but was forced off the bench Thursday when Finn Jeltsch came off injured. The injury there could push Jaquez into the starting XI for Sunday's Bundesliga clash with Koln.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Should be available Thursday Jaquez (nose) should be back available for Thursday's clash against Celta Vigo in the Europa League, coach Sebastian Hoeness said in the press conference. "Among the players who ar...

Impact Jaquez has missed the last three games due to a nose fracture suffered in the season opener against Union Berlin but is now back available for Thursday's clash against Celta Vigo in the Europa League since the only eligible player ruled out is Deniz Undav, according to coach Sebastian Hoeness. This is good news for Stuttgart since Jaquez will likely play a decent role in the backline this season.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Friday Jaquez (nose) is not in the squad for Friday's game against St. Pauli.

Impact Jaquez was a late call for this contest, but he wasn't deemed fit enough to play. His next chance to suit up will be against Celta Vigo on Thursday in the UEFA Europa League.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Late call against St. Pauli Jaquez (nose) is a late call for Friday's clash against St. Pauli, coach Sebastian Hoeness said in the press conference.

Impact Jaquez is still dealing with discomfort from the mask he is wearing after his broken nose injury but he could return in Friday's clash against St. Pauli as he is considered a late call for that game. The defender started the opener against Union Berlin but will likely return to the bench if he is cleared since the club will not take any risks if he doesn't feel fully comfortable playing with the mask. Until then, Finn Jeltsch will continue to replace him in the backline.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Breaks nose Jaquez suffered a broken nose in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Union Berlin, according to his club.

Impact Jaquez has been confirmed to have suffered a nose Saturday despite playing the full 90, with the defender now set for further scans. The good news is he will likely still be able to play with a mask, hopefully not missing any time. However, if he does, he is a starter, so it would force a change, with Ramon Hendriks as a possible replacement.
