Soars for headed goal Schlotterbeck recorded one goal on two shots to go along with two tackles, three interceptions and five clearances in Sunday's 7-1 win over Curacao.

Impact Schlotterbeck had a great opening match despite Germany allowing a goal and losing the clean sheet to the smallest nation to ever compete in the World Cup. He would find his moment in the 38th minute, rising on a corner to score a header and regain the lead. That said, he appeared lethal on their set pieces, always the centerpiece of a corner kick, and recorded two shots via headers. He also still maintained a decent stat line on defense, highlighted by his five clearances.

Likely starter for Germany Schlotterbeck is likely to be a starting center-back for the German national team.

Impact Schlotterbeck is coming into the 2026 World Cup as a likely clear starter, set to start in the middle of the defense next to Jonathan Tah. He has previously featured at the World Cup in 2022, getting one start and a bench appearance, although he will see a much more elevated role this World Cup. Coming in on a decently strong defense will help the player in huge ways, as through the group stage, they are unlikely to concede many goals. He ended the club campaign with 11 clean sheets in his 28 league starts, holding a decent presence in the defense.

Scores rare goal Schlotterbeck scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), five crosses (two accurate) and two corners in Friday's 3-2 victory against Eintracht Frankfurt.

Impact Schlotterbeck found the back of the net during Friday's win, a rare goal for the center-back, who doesn't often get involved in the attack. He's been a big part of the backline now that he's back healthy, but his value will likely come defensively, as he isn't set for any sort of improved offensive role.

Listed to bench Schlotterbeck (undisclosed) is on the bench for Wednesday's match against Atalanta.

Impact Schlotterbeck was likely to be an option Wednesday and has made his return to a bench spot, not yet ready for starting time. That said, he will likely work off the bench at some point to test his legs. Once he does see the field, a regular starting spot should be waiting, only his second time all season not starting when an option.

Late call against Atalanta Schlotterbeck (muscular) was back in team training Tuesday and will be a late call for Wednesday's second leg against Atalanta in the Champions League, the club announced.

Impact Schlotterbeck is trending toward a return from the muscular injury that kept him out of the last three games after getting back on the training pitch with the squad Tuesday, putting him firmly in the mix for Wednesday's Champions League second leg against Atalanta. The center-back will undergo late fitness checks to determine if he's ready to suit up, with a final decision expected in the coming hours. If he gets the green light, he's likely to slide straight back into the starting XI as part of the Black and Yellow's back three.

Impact Schlotterbeck sat out the last two matches with a muscular issue and is trending toward a comeback after returning to training Thursday, but he's set to be held out again for Saturday's showdown against Leipzig. The center-back is pushing to get back on the field, yet the medical staff are taking the cautious route to avoid any setback. In the meantime, Ramy Bensebaini is expected to maintain his expanded role in the back three until Schlotterbeck is fully cleared to return.

Suffers muscular issues Schlotterbeck (muscular) is ruled out for Tuesday's Champions League clash against Atalanta, the club announced.

Impact Schlotterbeck is dealing with muscular issues and will miss Tuesday's Champions League clash against Atalanta after failing to take part in the final training session. It is a significant blow for the Black and Yellow with Niklas Sule (thigh) and Filippo Mane (undisclosed) already sidelined while captain Emre Can (groin) remains a true game-time decision. If Can is unable to go, Luca Reggiani would be in line for an expanded role against the Italians as Dortmund scramble to piece together a makeshift backline.

Suspension ends Schlotterbeck is no longer banned and is an option for the club moving forward.

Impact Schlotterbeck is ready to play again after a brief absence due to a suspension, only missing one game. With seven clean sheets in 17 league appearances (17 starts) this season, the defender is likely to assume a starting role immediately in their next game.
