He started in 37 of his 41 appearances last season, so they will hope he is available for week 1.

Doesn't make the call Tuta (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's match against Freiburg.

Late call for Saturday Tuta is questionable for Saturday's match against Freiburg due to an injury, accoridng to manager Dino Toppmoller. "We'll have to see if he can play."

Impact Tuta is going to have to be tested out ahead of Saturday's match, as he is suffering from an undisclosed injury after an early exit last week. This will be something to monitor for the defender, as he is a regular starter when fit. That said, his absence would force a change, with Nnamdi Collins and Aurele Amenda as possible replacements.

Single cross Tuta registered two shots (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 0-0 draw against FC Augsburg.

Impact Tuta tried to get forward but couldn't do much from his role between the backline and midfield, and failed to break the deadlock. Tuta's an interesting player, he plays a role somewhere between the back-three and midfield, and doesn't really have much upside from it. He occasionally gets forward, but for the most part he's still a very deep-lying midfielder if anything.

Impact Tuta found the back of the net during Sunday's win, a rare goal for the center-half. Tuta's role has been interesting this season, playing as a full-back and in the back-three, and occasionally pushing forward into midfield. Wherever he plays he's an extremely defensive option with only limited attacking upside.

FEBRUARY 17 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Tuta netted an unfortunate own goal in the 50th minute. He completed a dribble and also made nine clearances, two blocks and an interception. He has featured 18 times and recorded 15 clearances and three interceptions across the last five games.

Busy defensively Tuta generated six tackles (four won), eight clearances and one interception in Sunday's 3-2 victory versus VfB Stuttgart. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 26th minut...

Impact Tuta had everything to do behind the ball during Sunday's win, and he did his work well. The defender caused issues for the Stuttgart attack throughout, popping up in channels and in the box to disrupt all the attacks. Tuta will continue as the most tenured option in the defense, with the ability to play in midfield if needed as well.

Three shots Sunday Tuta generated three shots (two on goal) in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Union Berlin. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 74th minute.

Impact Tuta was surprisingly offensive during Sunday's draw, getting forward when given the chance and almost scoring himself.

Still he's also been rotated heavily as Frankfurt cycle through some different defensive looks.

Impact Tuta did not travel with his team for the match against Besiktas, as he is waiting for the birth of his child.

He will likely only miss one match, probably being an option to face Bayern Munich on Sunday.

Nets rare goal Tuta scored one goal and assisted once from one shot and one chance created in Sunday's 4-2 win over Holstein Kiel.

Impact Tuta scored a single goal, a rare piece of production from the center-back, who hasn't played as large of a role. He does occasionally get a start in holding midfield, which gives him a bit more offensive upside. Still any goal threat from Tuta is likely to come from set-pieces.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Top option Tuta made 30 starts, scoring once and creating 12 chances in the Bundesliga.

Impact Tuta was asked to take over the top defensive job following the departure of Evan N'Dicka and he did just that. The defender was absolutely brilliant. Tuta might not be as efficient a ball mover as N'Dicka was, but he still contributes on both sides of the ball consistently. Tuta should continue as the top option in the defense moving forward.

Impact Tuta made a rare start in central midfield and did well, taking a pair of shots and creating a chance that turned into an assist.
