Lukas Kubler - Starts and scores Thursday Kubler (nose) started and scored a goal in Thursday's Conference League clash against Trabzonspor after recovering from a nose injury.

Impact Kubler made a successful return after being forced off during Freiburg's previous Bundesliga encounter against Augsburg due to a bleeding nose. The right-back resumed full team training Wednesday and was fit enough to start Thursday's European fixture, marking his comeback with a goal. His ability to play from the opening whistle suggests the injury is no longer a concern, allowing him to remain in contention for a regular starting role in Freiburg's defense.

Impact Treu returns to the matchday squad after missing Freiburg's previous Bundesliga encounter against Augsburg due to an ankle injury.

Patrick Osterhage - Left out with muscle issue Osterhage has been left out of the squad for Thursday's Conference League match at Trabzonspor due to a muscle problem, according to the club.

Impact Osterhage has not travelled to Turkey for the Conference League game against Trabzonspor because of muscular issues. The German's only start came against Bayern, when he filled in for the injured Yannik Engelhardt, so he has mostly been used as a rotation option. His absence is unlikely to change much in the lineup, but he remains a valuable piece of depth, and this is his second muscle problem of the season.

Impact Treu was ruled out for Saturday's match against Augsburg due to a right ankle joint capsule injury. However, the fact that he didn't suffer a structural injury means he won't be in line for a long spell on the sidelines. The next few days will be pivotal to determining if the full-back will be able to return as quickly as in the next game.

Lukas Kubler - Forced off with nose injury Kubler was forced off in the 76th minute of Saturday's match against FC Augsburg after sustaining a bleeding nose injury.

Impact Makengo is nearing a potential return after sitting out Wednesday's cup fixture with a muscle issue. The left-back was among the players whose availability remained uncertain following the midweek encounter, but coach Julian Schuster expressed hope that those recently sidelined could recover in time for Saturday's match. While this represents an encouraging development, Makengo has yet to be definitively cleared for selection, and his involvement will depend on his condition ahead of kickoff. His potential return would provide Freiburg with additional depth on the left side of defense, although his starting status remains uncertain.

Mio Backhaus - Allows three goals in loss Backhaus made six saves and allowed three goals in Sunday's 3-1 defeat against Bayern Munich.

Impact Backhaus faced constant pressure from Bayern and conceded twice in the first half. The goalkeeper produced a strong performance with six saves , including double save late on from Ismael Saibari and Harry Kane, which helped Freiburg stay in touch and set up a late push. However, the goalkeeper undid some of that good work in stoppage time, when he was caught upfield and Michael Olise found an empty net. He will hope to put that behind him in Saturday's league trip to Augsburg.

Igor Matanovic - Four shots off bench Matanovic registered four shots (two on goal) in Sunday's 3-1 defeat to Bayern Munich.

Impact Matanovic was a surprise name on the bench against Bayern, though the decision came after he had started the two previous games, including the trip to Monaco in the Conference League only three days earlier. The forward responded well when he was introduced early in the second half and led Freiburg's attack with four shots. He is still the first choice striker, but the Croatia international has not matched his fast start to the season, when he scored three times in the first three league games, and he has now gone four without a goal.

Philipp Lienhart - Named in starting XI Lienhart is in the starting lineup for Sunday's Bundesliga clash against Bayern Munich after being rested for Thursday's UEFA Conference League encounter against Monaco.

Impact Lienhart returns to Freiburg's starting XI after sitting out Thursday's European fixture against Monaco as part of a workload management decision. The Austrian defender had remained in Freiburg rather than traveling with the squad, allowing him additional recovery time during a demanding stretch of fixtures. His inclusion against Bayern Munich confirms that his absence Thursday was precautionary rather than injury-related. Lienhart resumes his regular role in central defense, providing Freiburg with an important defensive presence against one of the Bundesliga's strongest attacking sides.

The decision appears designed to manage his physical demands rather than address a reported injury, giving the center back a short break during a busy schedule. Unless his status changes, he should be in contention to return to the starting lineup against Bayern Munich.
