It will likely take him some minutes to get back up to fitness for starting time, although he should work back into that role soon.

Impact Gulacsi was rarely tested in the win and made one comfortable save as he kept a timely clean sheet after conceding six goals over his previous two outings. He now has four clean sheets in his last six games but faces a tough task against league leaders Bayern Munich on Saturday, a side that has scored 66 goals in 17 league matches.

Assan Ouedraogo - Returns to action in win Ouedraogo (knee) recorded 60 minutes on the field during Wednesday's 2-0 win over Freiburg.

Impact Ouedraogo was deployed on the left wing in his first start since recovering from an issue that left him out of four games. He had previously featured as a central midfielder, tallying three goals and three assists over his last eight starts in that position. He'll be in contention with Antonio Nusa on the flank and with Xaver Schlager in the center for the remainder of the season.

Impact Nusa gave his side an offensive boost in his return from a minor injury, although he failed to make the score sheet during the win. He participated in training sessions since earlier in the week and could be ready to start soon if he continues to recover form and fitness. The winger, who has scored and assisted once in 13 appearances this season, might share playing time with Tidiam Gomis and Assan Ouedraogo on the left flank in upcoming fixtures.

Antonio Nusa - Picked for Wednesday Nusa (ankle) is an option for Wednesday's match against Freiburg, according to his club.

Impact Nusa had partially trained this week and looks to have now trained fully, with the attacker fit for Wednesday's contest.

He has one goal and an assist this campaign in 12 appearances.

Lukas Klostermann - Out with illness Klostermann is out for Wednesday's match against Freiburg due to illness, according to his club.

Impact Klostermann will not be with the team for the first match of this week, as the defender is suffering from an illness.

Johan Bakayoko - Training individually Bakayoko (strain) is training individually but is out for Wednesday's match against Freiburg, according to his club.

Yan Diomande - Returns to club Diomande (international duty) has returned from AFCON and is an option for the club moving forward.

Impact Diomande has made his way back to Germany and is in Leipzig to get back into training after ending his time at AFCON, with the Ivory Coast falling short against Egypt. This will clear him for playing moving forward, but he will still be questionable to play Wednesday, potentially being rested after just returning from a busy tournament. However, he is a starter when fit, so this is positive, with six goals and one assist in 14 appearances (10 starts).

Antonio Nusa - Training partially Nusa (ankle) is doing parts of team training this week, the club announced.

Impact Nusa missed the last two games of the year due to an ankle injury he hasn't fully recovered from since he is only doing parts of team training this week. That said, this update is positive since it suggests he is nearing a return in the coming weeks and should claim back his undisputed starting role on the left wing once fully back fit. Until then, Tidiam Gomis is a likely option to get the starting spot in the frontline.

Johan Bakayoko - Suffers relapse Bakayoko has suffered a relapse of his injury and is out for Saturday's match against Leverkusen, according to the club.

Impact Bakayoko has suffered a relapse of his strain and is hitting the sidelines, as the attacker will not be an option to face Leverkusen. Unfortunately for the club, this will force a change, as he started in their last outing, especially with Antonio Nusa and Yan Diomande also out, potentially forcing Conrad Harder to play more of a winger role. He will have the winter break to recover, hopefully, an option after a few weeks of recovery.
