Noel Futkeu - Assists on winner off the bench Futkeu assisted once to go with zero corners and two chances created in Saturday's 4-3 win over Monchengladbach.

Impact Futkeu was able to get in on the action offensively and contributed to the winning goal to give Elversberg three points. He might be called on to provide another spark against Bayern Munich, though the reigning Bundesliga champions present a stout defensive matchup as they allowed just 36 goals a season ago.

David Mokwa - Finds back of net in win Mokwa scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 4-3 win against Monchengladbach.

Impact The forward didn't put many shots up but he was clinical with his finish in Elversberg's win on Saturday. Mokwa will need volume to pair with his efficiency if he wants to score against a Bayern Munich team with an excellent defense. Bayern only allowed 36 goals in last year's Bundesliga campaign.

Felix Keidel - Tallies a goal Keidel scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), six crosses (zero accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 4-3 win versus Monchengladbach.

Impact Keidel was struggling with his service as none of his crosses were accurate, but he was able to put his lone shot in the back of the net. He'll need to be more accurate for Elversberg to get past a Bayern Munich team which only gave up 36 goals in last year's Bundesliga campaign.

Maurice Krattenmacher - Nets winner in brace Krattenmacher scored two goals to go with six shots (four on goal) in Saturday's 4-3 win against Monchengladbach.

Impact Krattenmacher tallied a stoppage-time winner for Elversberg in a high-scoring contest, capping off a productive day where he had two goals. The forward has a tough matchup looming though, as Bayern Munich have only conceded once this season and allowed just 36 goals in Bundesliga matches a year ago.

Nicolas Kristof - Concedes three times Kristof made two saves and allowed three goals in Saturday's 4-3 win against Monchengladbach.

Impact Kristof was fortunate his teammates showed up offensively as he allowed three goals and didn't stop much. The goalkeeper won't get much respite as Bayern Munich, a side which logged 122 goals in Bundesliga play a season ago, are up next.

Tom Zimmerschied - Still needs two more weeks Zimmerschied (back) is on his way back to full team training, but it won't be enough yet, according to coach Vincent Wagner. "Tom is on his way back to full team training. That won...

Impact Zimmerschied has been dealing with a back issue for around a month, causing him to miss large parts of preseason as well as the start of the Bundesliga season, with Cole Campbell filling in on the left wing in his absence. His continued progress toward full training is an encouraging sign, and manager Wagner's updated timeline points to a possible return within the next two to three weeks.

David Mokwa - Scores in return to starting XI Mokwa scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-2 victory over Bayer Leverkusen.

Impact Mokwa's absence from the starting eleven in the cup game had raised some questions about his role, but he was ultimately preferred over Luca Schnellbacher up front and found the net once from two shots before exiting in the 75th minute. The center forward has been a fixture in the lineup since his winter transfer window arrival, with 14 starts in 17 appearances and six goals, and will look to build on that form for the remainder of the campaign.

Nicolas Kristof - Two saves in league debut Kristof made two saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 3-2 win against Bayern Leverkusen.

Impact Kristof held firm in his Bundesliga debut, conceding two goals while making two saves under heavy pressure as his side claimed a historic win over a tough Bayer Leverkusen team. The clean sheet outlook remains uncertain for the goalkeeper, who conceded 21 shots and six big chances in the game and managed only 10 clean sheets across 34 appearances in the second division last season. Kristof will look to build on the performance against Borussia Monchengladbach on Saturday.

Cole Campbell - Scores in full debut Campbell scored one goal to go with three shots (three on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 3-2 victory versus Bayer Leverkusen. In addition, he was given a yellow...

Impact Campbell made his full debut with Elversberg and pounced on a Leverkusen defensive error to get on the scoresheet, his effort making up the second of two goals scored within the first nine minutes. He added two more shots and a cross before making way in the 65th minute.

AUGUST 30 • ROTOWIRE

Lukas Petkov - Goal and assist in opener Lukas Petkov scored one goal and assisted once from two shots and two chances created in Saturday's 3-2 victory versus Bayer Leverkusen.

Impact Petkov picked up where he left off after a strong second division campaign last season, when he tallied 13 goals and six assists in 34 games, following it up with a big performance here. He scored the opener and set up another goal, starting on the right wing and playing all 90 minutes. Of Elversberg's 11 shots in the game, Petkov contributed to four, creating two chances and taking two shots himself.

Frederik Schmahl - Fit for season opener Schmahl (undisclosed) played in the last friendly and is fit for the Bundesliga season opener against Leverkusen, according to Saarbruecker Zeitung.

Impact Schmahl had been sidelined with a knock that kept him out of the earlier friendly against NEC Nijmegen, working individually while managing the muscular issue. His involvement in the recent win over Lorient, coming on in the 75th minute, confirms he has recovered, positioning him to be available heading into the new 2026/27 Bundesliga season for Elversberg.

Tom Zimmerschied - Facing two to three week absence Zimmerschied will remain sidelined for at least two to three weeks due to a back issue, according to coach Vincent Wagner. "Zimme will definitely still be unavailable to us for two...

Impact Zimmerschied has been dealing with the discomfort for around a month now, causing him to miss large parts of preseason with the squad, though manager Vincent Wagner credited the club for reacting early enough to prevent a more serious, longer-term absence. The forward, a regular starter last season, is now working intensively on an individual program as he builds toward his return, and Wagner said the hope is to have him back within three weeks at the latest. Zimmerschied's continued absence means he'll miss both Thursday's German Cup opener at MSV Duisburg and the start of the Bundesliga season, with Cole Campbell expected to start on the left wing in his absence.

AUGUST 20 • ROTOWIRE

Noel Futkeu - Loaned to Elversberg with option Futkeu has joined SV Elversberg on loan with an option to buy from Eintracht Frankfurt, according to the club.

Impact Futkeu won the second division Golden Boot last season, scoring 19 goals in all 34 matches for Greuther Furth, following an 11 goal debut campaign there the year before after joining on loan from Frankfurt. The 23 year old forward, born in Essen, came through the academies of ETB Schwarz-Weiss Essen and Rot-Weiss Essen before a brief spell with Koln's reserve side, and now gets his first taste of Bundesliga football with Elversberg.

AUGUST 15 • ROTOWIRE

Maurice Krattenmacher - Plays 11 minutes Krattenmacher (undisclosed) appeared off the bench for 11 minutes in Tuesday's friendly against Strasbourg.

Impact Krattenmacher had been dealing with an injury that held him out of the club's last friendly, but he has now returned, as the attacker took the field against Strasbourg. This continues to lessen their injuries ahead of their return to Bundesliga play, a good sign for a club trying to stay up. This should clear him to play the start of the season, needing to stay fit over the next few weeks.

AUGUST 4 • ROTOWIRE

Maurice Krattenmacher - Doesn't play Saturday Krattenmacher was held out of Saturday's friendly against NEC Nijmegen after training individually this week, according to his club.

Impact Krattenmacher was not able to train normally this week, and that has led him to miss out on a friendly, not an option Saturday. This will be something to monitor following his loan from Bayern, as he is likely to be a depth piece in their squad. He will have a month to recover, hopefully returning ahead of the start of the season.

JULY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Frederik Schmahl - Held out of friendly Schmahl was not in Saturday's friendly against NEC Nijmegen due to a knock after training individually this week, according to his club.

Impact Schmahl was unable to go on Saturday as his team took to the field for a friendly, as he was training individually this week due to an undisclosed injury. This will be something to monitor with their limited depth in midfield right now, not wanting to lose more options. He was more of a rotational option last season, and after the jump in competition, a similar role will likely stick this season.
