Impact Dorsch did not play during FC Augsburg's 4-3 loss Sunday at Borussia Dortmund. Instead, he logged his 2022-23 Bundesliga debut Wednesday. Dorsch was one of FC Augsburg's primary central midfielders during the 2021-22 Bundesliga. However, he needs time adapting back to a regular playing schedule.

JULY 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Consistent in first team Dorsch made 30 appearances (27 starts) throughout the 2021/22 campaign.
Impact Dorsch was a crucial part of the Augsburg midfield, even if he didn't fill up the stat sheet offensively. The midfielder was good for 76 tackles, as well as 20 crosses during the campaign, and looked perfectly comfortable at the pace of the Bundesliga. Dorsch will be a crucial part of the Augsburg midfield as they seek to avoid relegation once more in the 2022/23 campaign.

Suspended Friday Dorsch will be suspended for Friday's clash with Bielefeld due to yellow card accumulation.

Eleven crosses in loss Dorsch sent in 11 crosses (six accurate) creating four chances during Saturday's 2-1 loss to Freiburg.
Impact Dorsch had plenty of volume built around the 10 corners he sent in, though that's not normally his role. With Arne Maier and Daniel Caligiuri both out of the team Dorsch had the role on set-pieces. If he holds that role, Dorsch has solid value, if not, he goes back to being a low-impact player.
