Nets rare goal Andrich scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate), and three chances created in Sunday's 5-0 victory over Union Berlin.

Impact Andrich scored his first goal in 12 appearances (11 starts) while also creating a season-high three chances.

OCTOBER 11, 2022 • Associated Press

Suspended for Wednesday's game Andrich will miss Wednesday's match against Porto due to a suspension for yellow card accumulation.

Impact Andrich managed to pick up bookings in all three of the group stage rounds so far. As he's added more to the attack with one goal and two assists in his last six games, Andrich's absence might put a damper on his form. For now, Kerem Demirbay could take Andrich's place in the lineup for Wednesday's game.

Impact Andrich set up Moussa Diaby in the 38th minute assisting the opening goal of the match. The assist was the second of the season for Andrich as he's more known for his defensive work in the heart of Leverkusen's midfield.

Fills stat sheet Andrich had three shots (one on goal) and made three tackles in Friday's 4-0 loss versus Bayern Munich.

Impact Andrich filled the stat sheet on both sides of the ball as well as taking some positive shots on goal. It was always going to be a tough match for the Leverkusen midfield so any sort of volume is a worthwhile return. Andrich will have it easier moving forward in matches that should be far more forgiving than Friday's. With a hectic October schedule it's likely Andrich will be substituted off relatively frequently, though he should be a consistent starter.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Saturday Andrich is fit and in the starting XI for Saturday's match with Hoffenheim.

Impact Andrich returns after missing out on last week's match with a hamstring injury. The midfielder starts in a double pivot for Leverkusen during Saturday's clash with Hoffenheim.

AUGUST 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Expected back Saturday Andrich (hamstring) should be available for Saturday's clash with Hoffenheim.

Impact After missing out against Augsburg on Saturday, Andrich is poised to return to the squad and could even be an option for the starting XI after featuring in the season opener against Borussia Dortmund. Last season, the defensive midfielder started 21 of his 26 Bundesliga outings in which he garnered four goals on 30 shots (eight on target), two assists and 45 clearances. While primarily a defensive option, Andrich occasionally gets forward and should provide decent mid-range fantasy value.

AUGUST 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Not ready to play Andrich (hamstring) won't be available for Saturday's match against Augsburg but is on the right track to return soon after making progress in training.

Impact Andrich only make it 13 minutes into the opener against Borussia Dortmund and could make it by with missing just one match due to this injury. Charles Aranguiz could take the place of Andrich in the lineup after doing the same during the first game.

AUGUST 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Comes off injured against Dortmund Andrich was subbed out of Saturday's match against Borussia Dortmund in the 12th minute after suffering an injury.

Six goal contributions Andrich scored four goals and provided two assists during 26 appearances (21 starts) in the Bundesliga.

Impact Andrich returned one fewer goal contribution than he managed in the 2020/21 season, despite playing 700 minutes fewer. The midfielder logged appearances everywhere from striker to defensive midfield, filling in wherever needed in the Leverkusen starting XI. Andrich might not be a dominant attacking option with only 12 chances created, but six goal contributions keep him in first team for Leverkusen, especially with Florian Wirtz (knee) out long-term.

JUNE 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Four tackles in win Andrich made four tackles and one interception during Monday's 2-0 win over Frankfurt.

Impact Andrich made four tackles and sent in two crosses Monday. The midfielder has been a solid fantasy option in defensive midfield and is worth targeting for his consistency even if he has a low ceiling. Andrich will be tested against Hoffenheim on short rest Saturday.

MAY 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Starting against Wolfsburg Andrich (knee) is in Leverkusen's starting lineup for Sunday's clash against VfL Wolfsburg.

Impact Andrich hasn't featured in the Bundesliga since mid-February while dealing with a knee injury, but he got some game time off the bench in the Europa League in mid-week and he's now back in the XI from the start on Sunday.

MARCH 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Training Wednesday Andrich (knee) is training Wednesday, according to Leverkusen.

Impact Andrich is in training Wednesday and is looking set to return to the first team. The midfielder has been in decent form lately and with Florian Wirtz (knee) ruled out for the season Andrich should be in contention for some more time in the starting XI.

MARCH 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sidelined Sunday Andrich (knee) was not included in the match-day squad against Koln on Sunday.

Impact It was the third straight absence for Andrich due to his lingering knee issue. With Florian Wirtz (knee) suffering a torn ACL, the club could certainly use a boost by the return of Andrich or Karim Bellarabi (thigh), who has also been sidelined long term. Whenever Andrich is cleared to play, he should be in the mix to reclaim a spot in the starting XI.

MARCH 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time call Andrich (knee) is a game-time decision for Saturday's clash with Munich, Leverkusen announced.

Impact Andrich has had some irritation in his knee throughout the week, and is a game-time call before Saturday's match. While there is hope around the midfielders availability it's impossible to predict with something as nebulous as knee irritation. Andrich would be a boon for Leverkusen against a stout Munich defense.
