FC Union Berlin on Saturday, Oct. 10.

A return to training during the week would put him in position to be available for selection.

Tom Zimmerschied - Starts in friendly Zimmerschied (back) is in the starting lineup for Friday's friendly against Waldhof Mannheim, the club posted.

Impact Zimmerschied had been ruled out of the recent match against Schalke as he continued recovering from a back injury that sidelined him for around a month, with Cole Campbell continuing to see opportunities on the left wing in his absence.

Jan Gyamerah - Withdraws from Ghana squad Gyamerah has withdrawn from the Ghana squad for the international break due to muscular discomfort in his adductor area, according to Saarbrucker Zeitung.

Impact Gyamerah will remain with Elversberg during the international break as he recovers from the adductor issue. The severity of the problem and a potential recovery timeline remain unclear, though the break gives the right-back additional time to recover without missing club action. His progress in training should provide a better indication of his availability for the Oct. 10 clash with Union Berlin.

Jan Gyamerah - Forced off with adductor issue Gyamerah was forced off in the 51st minute of Sunday's 0-0 draw against Schalke due to an adductor issue, having already held his right adductor as early as the 47th minute before...

Impact Gyamerah finished last season with one goal and three assists across 28 appearances, including 25 starts, as one of Elversberg's regular defensive options during the club's historic promotion campaign. This early setback is a notable one to monitor, and his recovery timeline will be worth tracking as Elversberg continues its first season in the Bundesliga.

Luca Schnellbacher - Recovers from illness Schnellbacher is available off the bench for Sunday's match against Schalke 04 after dealing with a cold.

Impact Schnellbacher is fit enough to be included in the matchday squad after his availability had been uncertain due to illness. The forward remains on the bench Sunday, continuing the substitute role he has primarily occupied this season. His return therefore provides manager Vincent Wagner with another attacking option during the match without altering the usual starting setup.

SEPTEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Tom Zimmerschied - Not ready to return Zimmerschied is not in the squad for Sunday's match against Schalke 04 as he continues his recovery from a back injury.

Impact Zimmerschied remains unavailable against Schalke despite having made progress in his recovery from the back problem that has sidelined him for around a month. The winger had been considered a possible option for Sunday, but his return will have to wait until after the international break. Cole Campbell starts on the left wing in his absence and should continue to see increased opportunities until Zimmerschied is ready to return.

SEPTEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Luca Schnellbacher - Doubtful against Schalke Schnellbacher's availability for Sunday's match against Schalke 04 remains uncertain due to a cold, according to coach Vincent Wagner.

Impact Schnellbacher is dealing with a cold and remains questionable for Sunday's match against Schalke 04. The forward has primarily been used as a substitute this season, so his potential absence should have a limited impact on Wagner's starting XI. He could still provide an option off the bench if cleared to play, but his current illness could leave him out of the squad altogether.

SEPTEMBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Tom Zimmerschied - Could return against Schalke Zimmerschied could be available for Sunday's match against Schalke 04 as he nears a return from his back problems, according to coach Vincent Wagner.

Impact Zimmerschied is closing in on a return after a back issue kept him out for around a month and caused him to miss much of preseason and the start of the Bundesliga campaign. His recovery has progressed to the point where he could now be an option for Sunday's clash with Schalke 04. Cole Campbell has covered the left wing during his absence, but Zimmerschied's potential return would give manager Vincent Wagner another option in the position. His workload could still be managed if he is cleared to return to the squad.

SEPTEMBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Nicolas Kristof - Gives Elversberg a chance Kristof allowed two goals while making three saves during Sunday's 2-1 loss to Bayern Munich.

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.

SEPTEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

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.

SEPTEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

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.

SEPTEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

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.

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.

SEPTEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

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.

AUGUST 30 • ROTOWIRE

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.

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.
