Impact Wimmer ended the club season with four goals, three assists, 16 chances created and 47 tackles across 25 Bundesliga appearances before the injury struck, and his return to ball work is an encouraging development heading into the World Cup. The wide forward, who has completed a transfer to Hoffenheim ahead of the 2026/27 season, will now focus entirely on being fully fit for Austria's World Cup opener against Jordan on June 17.

Signs with Hoffenheim Wimmer has completed a transfer to Hoffenheim from Wolfsburg, according to his new club.

Impact Wimmer is switching clubs this offseason but will remain in Bundesliga play, with the attacker inking a deal with Hoffenheim. This comes after the relegation of Wolfsburg, as he will remain in the first tier of Germany, earning four goals and three assists in 25 appearances (21 starts) last season. This is a major pickup for the squad, as he is a player with decent skill and should improve the attack instantly. However, he is set for a World Cup spell with Austria before joining the team.

Impact Wimmer's absence is a concern for Wolfsburg heading into a crucial fixture with relegation implications still in play.

Impact Wimmer had been substituted in the 67th minute after receiving lengthy treatment, and the club is awaiting the MRI results before providing any clarity on the extent of the damage.

Impact Wimmer is not going to miss time after a slight injury scare after he was watched limping off the field, instead just tired and needing a break due to fatigue. This will leave the attacker as an option for the club moving forward, a good sign after a recent injury spell. He started in their past three games and will look to return to that role, although he is unlikely to play the full 90.

Forced off injured Wimmer scored early in Saturday's clash against Union Berlin before being forced off in the second half due to an apparent injury.

Impact Wimmer scored early in Saturday's clash against Union Berlin before being forced off in the 69th minute due to an apparent injury, with further tests set to determine the severity of the issue. The attacking midfielder had started each of the last three matches, so his potential absence would be a significant blow, with Adam Daghim expected to see increased minutes if he is unavailable.

Makes bench Saturday Wimmer (strain) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Hoffenheim.

Impact Wimmer is named on the bench for Saturday's clash against Hoffenheim after missing the last five matches with a muscle strain.

Impact Wimmer missed the last five matches with a muscle strain, but the attacking midfielder returned to training this week and will travel with the squad for Saturday's clash against Hoffenheim. He isn't fully match fit yet, though he could still be called upon off the bench if needed. That said, Wimmer could eventually regain the starting role he held before the setback under new head coach Dieter Hecking.

Remains sidelined Wimmer is not yet ready to play as he continues to deal with a muscular injury on the left thigh, his club reported Friday.

Impact Wimmer has missed the last two Bundesliga games due to a muscle strain and is unlikely to return in the short term.

Still out Wimmer (strain) is out for Sunday's match against Leipzig.

Impact Wimmer is not with his team after the questionable tag, as a strain is still too much to play through. He will now miss a second straight match after holding a starting role for a decent tenure, hopefully an option next match after a close call Sunday.

Questionable for Sunday Wimmer (strain) is questionable for Sunday's game against RB Leipzig, manager Daniel Bauer told media Friday. "Wimmer is on the road to recovery and completed parts of team trainin...

Impact Wimmer didn't play in the 2-1 loss to Dortmund last week, but he has a concrete chance to return to action this weekend. He's started in all but two of his 17 Bundesliga appearances this season while tallying three goals and three assists. If deemed healthy enough, Wimmer could return to the XI right away.

FEBRUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Could be back Sunday Wimmer (strain) should resume team training Friday and could be an option for Sunday's clash against Leipzig if nothing happens ahead of the game, according to WAZ.

Impact Wimmer has been managing muscular fatigue and was sidelined for the last match against Dortmund because of it, but the attacking midfielder is set to resume individual work Thursday before ramping up to full training Friday with the goal of being available for Sunday's showdown against Leipzig. He is shaping up as a true game-time decision, though reports suggest the club remains optimistic about his chances of suiting up this weekend. That said, if he is unable to go, Adam Daghim is in line to get another start and shoulder the load in his absence.

FEBRUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out against Dortmund Wimmer (strain) won't answer the call and is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Dortmund, according to WAZ.

Impact Wimmer was expected to be a late call due to muscular fatigue, but it was ultimately confirmed that the attacking midfielder will not be available for the match. This is a significant blow for the wolves, as he had not missed a start since early November, and his absence will force changes to the starting XI. Adam Daghim and Mattias Svanberg emerge as the primary options to fill the void, while Mohammed Amoura could also take on a larger role in the frontline if he returns from his club suspension.

Impact Wimmer is going to need some testing heading into Saturday's match, with the attacker now a late call due to some muscle fatigue. With the forward not missing a start since the beginning of November, this is something to monitor, possibly losing a regular starter. If that were the case, the club has a few replacements available, with Adam Daghim and Mattias Svanberg potentially options.

Assists twice on Saturday Wimmer assisted twice to go with two shots (one on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 4-3 loss versus SC Freiburg.

Opens the scoring Saturday Wimmer scored a goal with his lone shot while making two interceptions during Saturday's 3-1 win over Union Berlin.

Impact Wimmer opened the scoring with a goal after 10 minutes while tying for the team-high with his two interceptions.

Available off bench Wimmer (illness) is on the bench for Friday's game against Werder Bremen.

Impact Wimmer was expected to be available for this contest, so his presence on the bench wasn't much of a surprise. Mattias Svanberg will start on the left wing, but Wimmer could see action if needed.

Should return Friday Wimmer (illness) should be back available for Friday's clash against Bremen since he wasn't mentioned in the injury report by coach Paul Simonis in the press conference.

Impact Wimmer missed the last game due to illness but should return in Friday's clash against Bremen since he wasn't mentioned in the injury report. That said, even if he started the season in the starting lineup, it remains to be seen what role he will hold moving forward for the wolves.

NOVEMBER 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Misses due to illness Wimmer missed Sunday's 3-2 loss against Hoffenheim due to illness, the club announced.

Impact Wimmer has been dealing with an illness and was ruled out for Sunday's clash against Hoffenheim. The midfielder will be assessed in the coming days to know if he can be back available for Friday's clash against Bremen. That said, he featured 34 minutes off bench since late September, therefore if he had to miss the game, his absence wouldn't impact much the starting squad.

NOVEMBER 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

On bench Saturday Wimmer (undisclosed) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Hamburger.

Impact Wimmer is back in the squad for Saturday's match against Hamburger but will begin on the bench. The attacker has been sidelined since September and may need limited minutes before pushing for a full return. He had started all five matches prior to the injury and will aim to reclaim his place on the left flank soon.

OCTOBER 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Option to face Hamburger Wimmer (undisclosed) is an option for Saturday's match against Hamburger, according to manager Paul Simonis.

Impact Wimmer has battled injuries since September but appears to be back in the fold, set to return against Hamburger. The big question is whether the attacker will be fit for the starting XI or if he will need time from the bench to test his legs before a full return. He started in all five games before his injury, so he will hope to earn his spot on the left flank back immediately.
