On bench Friday Lemperle (ankle) will be available off the bench against Hoffenheim on Friday.

Impact Lemperle has missed the club's last three matches due to his ankle injury. Prior to getting hurt, the forward made three substitute appearances and will be hard-pressed to break into the starting XI. As such, Lemperle figures to be a low-end fantasy option throughout the 2021-22 campaign.

Impact Lemperle played in a "test tournament" alongside some others returning from injury, as well as some youth players. His presence in the tournament isn't a guarantee of fitness, but it was played at full speed, and gives him a good chance to be available for Friday's clash with Hoffenheim.

Suffers ankle injury Lemperle sustained an ankle injury in training Wednesday and will not be available versus RB Leipzig on Sunday.

Impact Lemperle has featured exclusively off the bench this season, so his absence is unlikely to impact the starting XI. Through four matches, the forward has logged a combined 54 minutes in which he generated one goal on one shot and two chances created. With Lemperle sidelined, Sebastian Andersson could get more opportunities in a substitute role.

Nets first career goal in 2-1 win Lemperle scored once, took one shot (none on target) and created two chances during the 2-1 win over Bochum on Saturday.

Impact Lemperle has not had much experience thus far in his early career with three total appearances. However, he did show a spark in his most recent outing where he created a few chances and scored an impressive goal. It is still too hard to gauge what he can offer to Koln, but his future does look bright.
