Finds bench role Banks (ankle) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Dortmund.

Impact Banks is named on the bench for Saturday's clash against Dortmund while dealing with ankle issues that have bothered him over the past few weeks. The defender dialed back his workload in training and did not take part in team sessions earlier in the week which likely limited his role for the match. Arthur Chaves instead takes the opportunity to feature in the starting back-three.

Impact Banks may have to wait until the March 22 game against Stuttgart to return to the pitch after struggling with an ankle problem. The defender has been a regular starter this season, scoring one goal and one assists while averaging 4.1 clearances per contest across 21 Bundesliga appearances.

Impact Banks has had to dial back his workload in training while dealing with ankle issues that have been bothering him over the past few weeks. The defender has yet to take part in team sessions this week and could either miss additional training or return to full work depending on how the ankle responds. That said, coach Manuel Baum is usually reluctant to roll with a player who hasn't logged much training during the week, which could open the door for Arthur Chaves to step into the starting back three if Banks isn't able to go.

Busy defensively in return Banks had one shot on goal, made two tackles (one won), six clearances and two blocks and was shown a yellow card during Saturday's 2-1 win over St. Pauli.

Impact Banks returned from suspension with a busy defensive shift, stacking enough clearances and blocks to preserve a usable peripheral floor. The booking keeps his card risk elevated, which adds volatility to his week-to-week value. Still, his athletic range in a reactive Augsburg setup ensures steady involvement even when the team is under pressure.

Suspension over Banks is no longer suspended and is an option for the club moving forward.

Impact Banks is back with the club after he had to miss the win over Bayern through suspension, only sitting out one game due to the ban. With 13 starts in 15 appearances this season, the defender should almost immediately return to a starting role, his first season in this role.

Shown fifth yellow card Banks was shown his fifth yellow card of the season during Saturday's 2-2 draw with Freiburg.

73 minutes during friendly Banks (undisclosed) started and played 73 minutes in a friendly against SSV Ulm on Wednesday.

Impact Banks was forced off in the club's last match before the break, but is already an option and playing again, getting the start for a friendly. This should clear the defender for action moving forward, appearing just days after picking up the apparent injury. He has only started in one of his six appearances on the team sheet this season, and will hope to continue in a starting spot after earning that role last time out.

Goal before injury Banks scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 3-1 win versus Wolfsburg. He was injured and subbed out in the 84th minute.

Impact Banks' latest start marks his first for the 2025-26 Bundesliga, and he rewarded the decision by scoring a goal, also his first. Unfortunately for the center-back, he was unable to finish the game, as an undisclosed injury took him out of commission and makes him questionable as Augsburg's team prepares for a Koln matchup on Oct. 18.
