Niklas Sule - Page 3 - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Close to fitness Sule (thigh) "is also coming back", manager Edin Terzic told reporters ahead of Saturday's match against Werder Bremen.

Impact Sule has yet to play this season but could at least be in the squad by Saturday. Mats Hummels and Nico Schlotterbeck have opened the season as the starter at center-back, and from the two it's Hummels who will likely be in competition for starts with Sule.

Officially ruled out Friday Sule (thigh) will not be in the squad versus SC Freiburg on Friday after manager Edin Terzic told reporters, "Only Niklas Sule and Sebastien Haller are definitely out for Friday."

Impact Sule will miss his second straight contest after having previously been sidelined for the season opener versus Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday. Once cleared to play, Sule should challenge Mats Hummels for a spot in the starting XI, though Sule is far from a lock to feature over Hummels.

Has thigh injury Sule reportedly suffered a thigh injury during Saturday's DFB Pokal match against 1860 Munich, according to Kicker via manager Edin Terzic.

Impact Sule seems unlikely to play in his first league match since joining Dortmund, with Mats Hummels taking his spot Saturday and playing well. That being said, Sule isn't expected to miss more than two or three weeks at most so he should be back by the end of August.

Set to move to Dortmund Sule was not involved in last weekend's season finale against Wolfsburg, and is all set to move to Borussia Dortmund in July.

Impact Sule made 170 appearances in all competitions (with seven goals and five assists) during his five seasons with Bayern since moving from Hoffenheim in 2017, but he couldn't crack 20 Bundesliga starts in either of his last two campaigns since the 2020 Champions League win and it's now time for the 26-year-old move on. He and fellow new arrival Nico Schlotterbeck are expected to challenge Mats Hummels, Manuel Akanji, Emre Can and Marin Pongracic for the starting center back spots in Dortmund, meanwhile Benjamin Pavard will likely slide over to a full-time center back in Sule's place at Bayern.

Remains out with flu Sule will remain out for Tuesday's match against Villarreal because of the flu.

Impact Sule missed the match over the weekend and is apparently a few more days away from a return to training. He's recently back from a hamstring injury, so this only adds to his problems. It's expected Dayot Upamecano and Lucas Hernandez will start at center-back for Tuesday's second leg.

Out with illness Sule (illness) did not play in Saturday's match against Augsburg.

Impact Sule was held out of the starting XI on Saturday when diagnosed with an illness. With just a fever, expectations for a long absence seems unlikely as Sule remains an important piece in Munich's defense. As the Bundesliga is heading toward its conclusion, resting Sule for the Champions League tournament seems to be Munich's top priority going into April.

Makes substitute appearance Sule logged five minutes off the bench against SC Freiburg on Saturday.

Impact It was far from an eventful performance for the defender but the fact that he was at least fit enough to get onto the pitch could clear the way for him to rejoin the starting XI against Villarreal on Wednesday. Even if he does feature, the central defender shouldn't be expected to offer more than mid-range fantasy value given his limited offensive upside.

Picks up hamstring injury Sule (hamstring) picked up a hamstring injury during Wednesday training and will be sidelined, according to Munich.

Impact Sule picked up the hamstring injury in training and will be out until after the international break at the very least. It's not clear who will replace him in the starting XI, though Tanguy Nianzou and Josip Stanisic are the two most likely options at center-back.

Picks up back issue Sule (back) picked up a back issue and missed Tuesday's training, Bayern announced.

Impact Sule picked up a back injury and it's now looking like an injury crisis for Bayern as they lose yet another central defender.

Signs pre-contract with Dortmund Sule will be joining Dortmund at the conclusion of the 21/22 season, the club announced Monday.

The center-back is a key part of the Munich defense, but will be replaceable by an up-and-coming defender such as Tanguy Nianzou, or the more established Dayot Upamecano. For Dortmund Sule figures to be an immediate starter and a long-term impact maker in central defense.

In starting XI Sule (back) will be in action against Monchengladbach on Friday.

Impact Sule missed one match before the holiday break and appears to have recovered from the time off. Even with the central defender fully fit, he is far from a lock for the starting XI considering he has featured in just four of his last eight appearances. During that stretch, Sule has managed one shot (one target), so fantasy players shouldn't be banking on his offensive contributions.

JANUARY 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out with back injury Sule will be unavailable against Wolfsburg on Friday due to a back injury.

Impact Sule has featured just twice in the club's last five contests, so he was far from a lock for the starting XI even fully fit. In those outings, the defender recorded four tackles (two won) and eight clearances but hasn't generated much in terms of offensive production.
