Starts against Augsburg Posch has been included in the starting XI for the match against Augsburg on Saturday.
In doubt Sunday Posch (COVID-19) is questionable for Sunday's clash with VfB Stuttgart. Manager Sebastian Hoeness told reporters, "Stefan Posch and Kevin Vogt (hamstring) are likewise still doubts...
Impact Given his lengthy layoff (five matches), Posch may have to make an appearance or two off the bench before immediately jumping back into the starting XI. Still, once the central defender is back up to full match fitness, he should see regular minutes on the pitch but won't offer much more than mid-range fantasy value.

Tests positive for COVID-19 Posch tested positive for COVID-19 ahead of Thursday's Europa League match against Molde.
Impact Posch was fortunately the only player to test positive ahead of this match but he will likely be out until March while in isolation. Chris Richards could earn more opportunities while Posch is out, though Kasim Adams Nuhu has spent the last two league matches on the bench and would be more experienced replacement.

Suspension over Posch is in contention against FC Schalke on Saturday after serving his one-match ban for yellow-card accumulation.
Impact Posch has played in just two of the club's last four contests due to suspensions but is once again eligible to play. In those contests, the right-back garnered four crosses (two accurate), three shots (zero on target) and five tackles (four won). Heading into Saturday's tilt, Posch should find himself restored to the starting XI in favor of Kevin Akpoguma.

Suspended again Posch picked up his fifth yellow card against Monchengladbach on Dec. 19 and will be suspended versus SC Freiburg on Saturday.
Impact Posch had just returned from a red-card suspension before being going into the referee's book again. Without Posch available, the team will hope that Havard Nordtveit (undisclosed) is good to go otherwise Kasim Adams Nuhu could be an option Saturday.

Available Saturday Posch is in contention for Saturday's matchup with Monchengladbach after serving his one-game suspension versus RB Leipzig on Wednesday.
Impact Posch has registered three shots (one on target), 20 crosses (five accurate) and 12 tackles (seven won) in his last five appearances. The defender should resume his spot on the backline for Wednesday's tilt, which could make him a decent mid-range fantasy option given his ability to push the attack from the back.

Booked twice Sunday Posch was given two yellow cards in Sunday's 4-1 loss to Bayer Leverkusen and will be suspended against RB Leipzig on Wednesday.
Impact Posch was sent off in the 79th minute which left Hoffenheim with just nine players on the pitch. Melayro Bogarde could be an option for the starting XI with Posch unavailable, though the team could opt to insert Kevin Akpoguma into the lineup instead and utilize a back three.

Starting against Stuttgart Posch (ankle) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Stuttgart.
Impact Posch makes an immediate return to the starting XI Saturday after missing the week prior to the international break because of an ankle injury. Playing as a center-back in a back three, his fantasy value is limited to compared to when he's at full-back.
NOVEMBER 21, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Facing two-week absence Posch (ankle) is expected to be sidelined for two weeks due to ligament damage sustained in his ankle Monday.
Impact With the international break right around the corner, it's possible Posch's injury will only see him miss two contests including Thursday's matchup with Slovan Liberec. A domestic suspension for Robert Skov could see a healthy Kasim Adams Nuhu (COVID) return to the starting XI against VfL Wolfsburg on Sunday for the first time since the season openers versus FC Koln on Sept. 19.

Suffers injury Monday Posch sustained an apparent ankle injury in Monday's matchup with Union Berlin and was subbed off in the 34th minutes.
Impact Depending on the severity of Posch's injury, the Hoffenheim backline could be stretched really thin after Robert Skov, who replaced Posch in Monday's contest, was handed a red card. If Posch can't play against Vfl Wolfsburg on Sunday, Melayro Bogarde could make his first appearance of the season.

Inks extension Posch agreed to terms on a contract extension with Hoffenheim through June of 2024.
Impact Since making the jump to the first team, Posch has logged 69 appearances for the club over the past five seasons. The defender is still looking for his first goal for the team, so fantasy players shouldn't be banking on him contributing offensively any time soon.
