Mathias Olesen - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Sent off late Mathias Olesen picked up two yellow cards and was sent off in the 80th minute of Saturday's 6-0 loss to RB Leipzig. He recorded no stats before his removal.

Impact Olesen came off the bench and was shown a straight red card after just 10 minutes. For a player on the outside of the starting XI looking in this performance was about as awful as could possibly be. Olesen failed to touch the ball, his stat line finishes at two fouls committed, two yellow cards, and a red card. With this sort of showing Olesen will very likely end up buries on the depth chart moving forward.

Available from bench Olesen is fit and in the match day squad to face Leverkusen on Sunday.

Impact Olesen has recovered from an undisclosed injury which has kept him out of Koln's last three matches. The midfielder has yet to start for the club this season, so his return to the bench is not surprising.

Training with squad Olesen (undisclosed) participated in team training for the first time Tuesday in the lead-up to Sunday's clash with Bayer Leverkusen.

Impact Olesen has missed the club's previous three matches due to his undisclosed injury but could be getting closer to a return to action. Prior to his absence, the midfielder featured exclusively off the bench, logging a combined 77 minutes in three appearances in which he registered one shot (off target), two interceptions and two clearances. Even if cleared to play Sunday, Olesen figures to remain primarily a substitute option.

Starts individual training Olesen (undisclosed) started individual training ahead of Saturday's match against Stuttgart.

Impact Olesen is back on the training pitch after taking part in individual training on Tuesday. It was the midfielder's first day back in training since picking up the undisclosed injury. Based on his current timeline, it will be a long shot for him to play this weekend, and he will most likely have his best chance of returning to play in two weeks against Leverkusen.

Picks up injury Olesen picked up a muscular injury while representing Luxembourg and is facing a spell on the sidelines.

Impact The midfielder picked up the injury during Luxembourg's 3-1 win over Iceland, where he was subbed off in the 64th minute, and further tests revealed he'll be forced to spend time sidelined while recovering. As such, the game against Hoffenheim comes too quick for him to recover, and he might have a shot at playing against Werder Bremen on Sep. 23. Given he's yet to start a game, his absence shouldn't alter many fantasy lineups.
