Impact Svanberg has been sidelined but is ending the injury absence, as the midfielder was back in training and has returned to full fitness. The club will gain back some depth in the midfield with his addition, a good sign after a season with a long injury list.

Impact Svanberg has been working his way back step by step and the progress is encouraging, but the Wolfsburg medical staff are not yet ready to push him back into competitive action with the next fixtures coming too soon for the midfielder. His return to running is a positive step in the right direction, and the club will continue to monitor his progress over the coming days.

Remains out Saturday Svanberg (undisclosed) remains out for Saturday's clash against Union Berlin, according to coach Dieter Hecking. "For Svanberg, it will not be enough."

Ruled out Saturday Svanberg (undisclosed) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Frankfurt.

Impact Svanberg has been ruled out after the final diagnosis confirmed he was unable to feature, with coach Dieter Hecking's cautious assessment earlier in the week proving accurate. The midfielder had only just returned from a four-game absence before picking up the new issue, and the staff opted to take a conservative approach rather than risk further damage. His availability for the coming fixtures will depend on the results of the medical tests, with the club hoping the setback proves to be a minor one.

Unlikely to play Saturday Svanberg (undisclosed) is unlikely to play in Saturday's clash against Frankfurt, according to coach Dieter Hecking. "For Mattias, I'm still waiting for the final diagnosis, but we...

Impact Svanberg will receive the results of medical tests Friday but is unlikely to play in Saturday's clash against Frankfurt.

Impact Svanberg is back available for Saturday's match against Bremen after training all week, having missed the last three matches with an undisclosed injury. The midfielder held a rotational role prior to his absence and is expected to return to that spot, having made just seven starts in 20 appearances this season while recording three goals and one assist.

MARCH 19 • ROTOWIRE

Trains normally Tuesday Svanberg (undisclosed) was spotted in team training Tuesday, the club posted.

Impact Svanberg has missed the last three games with an injury and was close to making the squad against Hamburg before ultimately missing out, but he's now back in full team training with no restrictions and is tracking toward being available for Saturday's clash against Bremen. That said, he has mostly been used as a depth piece off the bench this season, so his return shouldn't shake up the starting XI.

MARCH 18 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Saturday Svanberg (undisclosed) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Hamburger.

Impact Svanberg remains unavailable for Saturday's clash against Hamburger after missing training this week due to an undisclosed injury that had already forced him to miss the last match against Stuttgart. The Swedish midfielder was evaluated after the final training session but was not cleared to return. His absence doesn't significantly impact the team given his usual substitute role this season.

MARCH 7 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Svanberg did not train this week due to an undisclosed injury that already forced him to miss the last match against Stuttgart and is doubtful for Saturday's clash against Hamburger. The Swedish midfielder will be evaluated after the final training session to determine whether he can be included in the squad. He mainly holds a substitute role this season, so his potential absence should not significantly impact the team.

MARCH 5 • ROTOWIRE

Injured for Sunday Svanberg is out for Sunday's match against Stuttgart due to an undisclosed injury, according to his club.

Impact Svanberg is not with his team Sunday, a bit unexpected after no sign of an absence heading into the contest. This does leave the club without some depth, although it's not a major loss. He will now work to return quickly, with more on the injury likely to be known soon.

MARCH 1 • ROTOWIRE

Scores from midfield Svanberg scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus RB Leipzig.

Impact Svanberg scored a rare goal during Sunday's clash, making the most of his lone shot and finding the back of the net. The midfielder doesn't tend to be a huge offensive threat, but he was clinical during Sunday's draw. Svanberg will hope he can build on this goalscoring moving forward, though he's not likely to become prolific in front of net.

Back in training, fit again Svanberg (illness) is an option for Saturday's match against Mainz, according to manager Daniel Bauer. "Mattias has also returned to training after his infection."

Impact Svanberg is back from his illness as the club is about to take the field again, with the midfielder set to play against Mainz. This comes after six starts in 16 appearances this campaign, recording two goals and one assist. That said, a bench spot will be expected for the midfielder once fit.

JANUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Ill to face Heidenheim Svanberg is out for Saturday's match against Heidenheim due to an illness, according to manager Daniel Bauer. "Unfortunately, Mattias Svanberg will also be absent, as he is ill."

Impact Svanberg will not be with the club Saturday after contracting an illness, with it being too close to the match to recover. Luckily for the club, this is a minor loss, as he has only started in one of their past seven games. This will be a loss of depth, as he should plan for a quick turnaround, likely to be an option when facing Mainz on Jan. 24.

JANUARY 16 • ROTOWIRE

Opens the scoring Friday Svanberg scored a goal while taking three shots (one on goal) and crossing once inaccurately during Friday's 2-1 loss to Werder Bremen.

Impact Svanberg opened the scoring in the 28th minute while leading Wolfsburg with three shots in the match. The goal was the first since the opening match of the season for the midfielder as he has two goal involvements, four shots, and a chance created in his last three league appearances.

NOVEMBER 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Assists opener vs Hoffenheim Svanberg assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 3-2 defeat versus Hoffenheim.

Impact Svanberg created Mohammed Ammoura's opener in the 14th minute with his first assist in the season. The midfielder had a pretty quiet outing stat-wise after that. That was his fourth start in eight overall appearances.

NOVEMBER 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Available for selection Svanberg is available for Sunday's trip to Dortmund after serving a one-match ban.

Impact Svanberg was sent off during the closing stages of a clash with Mainz and is now available for a return. He's only been a bench option early in the season and his lack of discipline off the bench isn't likely to earn him more playing time in the coming weeks.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sent off in extra time Svanberg was sent off in extra time of Sunday's 1-1 draw against Mainz.

Impact Svanberg is heading to the sidelines for the club's next match, as the midfielder was shown a second yellow card in extra time, leading to a red card. Luckily for the club, this won't force a change, as he has only appeared off the bench this season. He will next be available when facing Dortmund on Sept. 21.

AUGUST 31, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Scores off bench in win Svanberg scored a goal off two shots (one on target) and drew three fouls after coming off the bench during Saturday's 3-1 win over Heidenheim.

Impact Svanberg was brought as part of a double substitution just after the hour mark and just needed two minutes to make an impact as he was at the right place to head home a cross from the left and give his side the lead for the second time. After two so-so campaigns, the midfielder will hope to get back to the level shown in his first year in Germany and more performance like this will make him a candidate to start a lot of games.

AUGUST 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Appears in friendly Svanberg (knee) appeared for 45 minutes in a friendly, accoridng to his club.

Impact Svanberg is seeing a huge mark in his offseason as he returned from a knee injury that left him sidelined to end last season. This is good news as he is now cleared for action and can look to next season, hoping no setbacks appear.

JULY 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Finishes season injured Svanberg was sidelined by an injury to end the season, but scored three times and assisted once prior to that.

Impact Svanberg had a disappointing end to the season as a knee injury cost him the final month. He was great before that, taking on a solid role in the midfield when fit and matching his goal contributions from last season. The concern for Svanberg has been fitness though, as he hasn't played more than 2,000 minutes in a season since joining Wolfsburg.
