Impact Tillman is going to be an option again after his return to training last week, a huge boost for the club.

Out to face Mainz Tillman (ankle) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Mainz.

Impact Tillman is out for Saturday's matchup with Mainz after failing to recover in time from the ankle knock he suffered against Union Berlin.

Unlikely against Mainz Tillman (ankle) is dealing with a minor issue but is unlikely to play in Saturday's clash against Mainz, coach Kasper Hjulmand said in the press conference.

Impact Tillman picked up an ankle knock against Union Berlin in the last Bundesliga game and is trending toward missing Saturday's matchup with Mainz. That said, coach Kasper Hjulmand did not completely shut the door on him, so the American still has an outside shot at making the squad. Even if he is cleared, he is not expected to be thrown straight back into the starting XI as the staff looks to avoid any setback, which could clear the runway for Jonas Hofmann to take on a bigger role in the attacking line.

Impact Tillman is unlikely to feature due to an ankle issue but will be assessed after the final training session to determine his availability for Tuesday's return leg against Olympiakos in the Champions League. The attacking midfielder remains a locked-in starter, and his potential absence could be significant given he has scored six goals across 26 appearances in all competitions this season. Ernest Poku is likely to take on a larger role if Tillman is unable to play.

Doutbful against Olympiacos Tillman (ankle) is a doubt for Tuesday's clash against Olympiacos in the Champions League, according to BILD.

Impact Tillman picked up an ankle knock in a challenge with Stanley Nsoki during Saturday's 1-0 loss to Union Berlin and is now a doubt for Tuesday's Champions League clash against Olympiacos. The midfielder is trending toward a late fitness test, and the club will be pushing to get him ready given his status as a regular starter for the Werkself. If he's unable to suit up, Ernest Poku would be in line for an expanded role up top.
