Participating in training Sallai (eye) participated in Wednesday's training session but won't play in Thursday's UEL match against Olympiacos, according to manager Christian Streich.

Impact Sallai looks exceptionally likely to return before the World Cup break after not playing in nearly two months following eye surgery. When fit, he'll compete with Daniel Kofi-Kyereh and Ritsu Doan for starts in the right and central areas of the attack.

Undergoing eye surgery Sallai is set to undergo an eye surgery and will be out indefinitely, Freiburg announced Wednesday.

Impact There is no official timetable for Sallai's recovery from this operation he is undergoing after suffering an eye injury against Leverkusen a few weeks ago, but he's likely to have to miss a few games straddled around the September international break. Daniel-Kofi Kyereh, Woo-yeong Jeong and Nils Petersen are all options to replace him along the forward line while he recovers.

Goal-scoring slows Sallai scored four goals and provided four assists throughout the 2021/22 Bundesliga season.

Impact Sallai was hoping to build on an impressive eight goal, three-assists showing in the 2020/21 season. It ended up being disappointment for the winger, who scored only four goals throughout the season. The overall totals paper over a season that was even more disappointing than the stats say. Heading into April Sallai only had one goal and two assists in the first six months of the season. A red-hot end to the season with three goals and two assists made it a workable season, but not an inspiring one from Sallai who began to lose playing time to Kevin Schade.

Nets in win Sallai scored once on three shots (one on goal) during Saturday's 4-3 win over Hoffenheim.

Impact Sallai scored his fourth goal of the campaign during Saturday's 4-3 win. The forward has three goals in his last three matches and is finally finding some good form towards the end of the season. Sallai will hope to keep this good form going against Union Berlin next time out, in a match that could decide the Europa League spots in the Bundesliga.

Finishes two in victory Sallai scored two goals on four shots (two on goal) and recorded two chances created in Saturday's 3-0 win over Bochum.

Impact Sallai blew up the Bochum defense scoring twice in the 16th and 53rd minute. Sallai has been inconsistent for the 2021 campaign as he scored for the first time since August. With tough opponents remaining for the German squad, expectations for Sallai to produce more goals is unlikely with only three recorded for the season.

Provides assist in win Sallai provided an assist, had one off-target shot, created two chances, sent in two crosses (one accurate) and made three tackles (two won) during Sunday's 2-1 win over Eintracht...

Impact Sallai had a nice first half, making a brilliant play to set up Vincenzo Grifo's opener in the 27th minute and having some other contributions on both ends. But the winger couldn't replicate such production after halftime, which led him to be subbed off at the hour mark. This assist was just the third of the season for Sallai and he'll try to keep it up during Saturday's home match against Bochum.

Launches in eight crosses Sallai had three shots (one on goal), eight crosses, created two chances and sustained one foul in the 0-0 draw with SpVgg Greuther Further on Saturday.

Impact Doing everything they could to try and find the net, Sallai and the rest of his side pushed hard on offense. This was out of the ordinary for the midfielder, whose crosses come inconsistently. It is unlikely he will be able to do the same thing again against Bayern Munich.

Assists Saturday Sallai provided one assist on two chances created during Saturday's 2-1 win over Augsburg.

Impact Sallai finally returned to the scoresheet, this time with an assist, his third goal contribution of the season. While Sallai is an extremely talented player, he seemingly struggles to produce in a Freiburg team that has had awkward production all season. The long-term upside is still there for Sallai, who is coming off an eight-goal, three-assist season in 2020/21.

FEBRUARY 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Takes three shots in draw Sallai took three shots (one on goal), two crosses, three tackles and created one chance before subbing off in the 70th minute against Arminia on Saturday.

Impact Sallai has only been able to score once this season, but it is not for lack of trying. In 15 matches this season, the wing has managed to take 20 shots, but only three of them have been on goal.

Subs on, and off with injury Sallai came on to start the second half, and come back off the pitch after 30 minutes with an apparent injury.

Impact Sallai was brought back off the pitch before finishing the game, in obvious discomfort. The winger has found himself relegated to the bench after a poor start to the season, so this injury is unlikely to help his case for starting once more.

OCTOBER 16, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Provides assist against Stuttgart Sallai took three shots (one on target), created one chance and set up a goal in Saturday's 3-2 win at Stuttgart.

Impact Sallai's peach of a cross was headed home by Lucas Holer in the 28th minute. He almost scored in the second half with his snap shot on a counter being well saved by Florian Muller. He now has a goal and an assist in the first three matches this campaign. His next match is on September 11 against Koln.

Scores in upset Sallai scored once on one shot during Saturday's 2-1 win over Borussia Dortmund.

Impact Sallai opened his account for the season with a goal over Dortmund to help seal a massive upset. The midfielder looked dangerous all match and found space consistently all over the pitch. Next up for Sallai is a Saturday trip away to Stuttgart.

AUGUST 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Assists against Germany Sallai recorded one assist with two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created during a 2-2 draw Wednesday against Germany.

Impact Sallai recorded an assist to the Hungarians' first goal, scored by Adam Szalai. The former will finish his Euro 2020 campaign with assists against two elite national teams a part of their tough group.

JUNE 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Assists against France Sallai assisted one goal from two chances created, took three shots (one on target) and sent in three inaccurate crosses in Saturday's 1-1 draw to Frace.

Impact Sallai assisted Attila Fiola's opener just before halftime, and led his side in shots during the surprising draw. The forward will now look to get on the scoresheet again when they face another favorite, Germany, on Wednesday.

Productive all season Sallai scored eight goals and provided three assists in 28 appearances for Freiburg this season.

Impact Sallai put up his best season in five years and at the perfect time heading into the Euros for Hungary. As a likely primary option on set piece opportunities, Sallai could have decent value in a tough group, especially without Dominik Szoboszlai (groin) available to share the burden.

JUNE 10, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Ineligible Saturday Sallai was handed his fifth yellow card of the season and will miss the finale versus Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday.

Impact Sallai has made nine consecutive starts for the club in which he recorded three goals on 15 shots (eight on target), two assists and 18 crosses (six accurate). Without Sallai in the squad, Jonathan Schmid figures to jump into the starting XI.
