Luca Jaquez - Suffers groin injury Jaquez suffered a groin injury in the warm-up of Thursday's clash with Feyenoord and is ruled out for the time being, the club announced.

Impact Jaquez won't feature in Sunday's clash against Augsburg after suffering a groin injury during the warm-up ahead of Thursday's match against Feyenoord. The defender underwent scans on Friday that revealed a lesion, which will keep him sidelined for the time being. Jaquez has been a regular starter in the backline recently, so his absence will force a change in the starting XI, with Finn Jeltsch likely stepping into the central defense while he is out.

Lorenz Assignon - Full 90 in win Assignon went the full 90 during Thursday's 2-0 win over Feyenoord.

Impact Assignon got the start on the right wing during Thursday's clash and went the full 90. The defender did well throughout the match even in a more advanced role and earned an assist. Assignon has been a big part of the team whenever fit and should remain in a large role as long as he stays fit.

Dan Zagadou - Returns Thursday Zagadou played 10 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 2-0 win over Feyenoord.

Impact Zagadou came off the bench and played the final 10 minutes of Thursday's clash. The defender has been struggling with a muscular issue, but was deemed fit enough for the bench on Thursday. He has made just two appearances this season due to poor form and injuries.

Luca Jaquez - Scratched Thursday Jaquez was a late scratch ahead of Thursday's clash with Feyenoord, Stuttgart announced.

Impact Jaquez was scratched just minutes before Thursday's match, with Josh Vagnoman coming in to replace him. Jaquez will have one chance to return before the international break, a Sunday clash with Augsburg. Jaquez has started six of the last seven matches and all but one match he's been fit for, so any extended absence could even force a change back to a back-four.

Ramon Hendriks - Suffers muscular issue Hendriks (undisclosed) suffered a muscular issue but the medical staff is doing everything to get him fit for Thursday's clash against Feyenoord in the Europa League, coach Sebasti...

Impact Hendriks suffered a muscular issue in recent days and is a small doubt for Thursday's clash against Feyenoord. The medical staff will do everything to get him fit for the game and will hope he can be integrated into the match squad since he has been a regular starter for Stuttgart this season.

Dan Zagadou - Back in team training Zagadou (strain) was spotted back in team training on Tuesday and should return for Thursday's clash against Feyenoord in the Europa League, coach Sebastian Hoeness said in the pre...

Impact Zagadou missed the last game against Leipzig due to a strain but should be back available for Thursday's clash against Feyenoord after training with the team in recent days. The center-back had started the game prior to his muscular issue and could hold a decent role for Stuttgart once fully fit.

NOVEMBER 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Lorenz Assignon - Option again Thursday Assignon (shoulder) is back available for Thursday's clash against Feyenoord in the Europa League, coach Sebastian Hoeness said in the press conference.

Impact Assignon missed the last game due to a shoulder injury that turned out to be only minor, as the right-back is already back available for Thursday's clash against Feyenoord after training in full in recent days. It remains to be seen if the Frenchman will return directly to the starting XI or if Josha Vagnoman will replace him again.

Alexander Nubel - Beaten three times in loss Nubel made seven saves and allowed three goals in Saturday's 3-1 defeat to RB Leipzig.

Impact Nubel didn't have much responsibility in the first two goals he conceded, but he was directly responsible for the third -- he lost the ball while in possession, which allowed Romulo to score. Nubel will aim to bounce back against Augsburg on Sunday.

NOVEMBER 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Deniz Undav - Takes five shots in loss Undav recorded five shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 3-1 defeat versus RB Leipzig. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 57th minute.

Impact Undav didn't find the back of the net in this match, but there's no question that he's the team's biggest attacking threat by a wide margin. Undav has scored only one goal this season, but he's been a threat when starting. In four starts, Undav has taken 13 shots.

NOVEMBER 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Tiago Tomas - Scores off bench vs. Leipzig Tomas scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 3-1 loss to RB Leipzig.

Impact Tomas found the back of the net shortly after entering the game, and he took advantage of a long pass from Luca Jaquez to round out Peter Gulacsi and score into the open goal. Tomas has three goals this season, although it's worth noting that two of those have come off the bench.

NOVEMBER 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Luca Jaquez - Credited with assist in loss Jaquez assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-1 defeat against RB Leipzig.

Impact Jaquez isn't known for making assists as a defender, but he delivered an excellent long pass that allowed Tiago Tomas to round the keeper and score into the open goal. Jaquez should continue to earn most of his fantasy upside via defensive stats, though.

NOVEMBER 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Julian Chabot - Scores own goal Chabot registered an own goal, eight clearances and one interception in Saturday's 3-1 defeat to RB Leipzig.

Impact Chabot had a solid defensive performance thanks to the eight clearances, but there's no question the own goal erased all the good things he could've done on the defensive end. Despite the mistake, Chabot isn't expected to lose his starting role when Stuttgart take on Augsburg on Nov. 9 before the international break.

Ermedin Demirovic - Aims return in December Demirovic suffered a fractured foot and is aiming a return in December, he said to the media, according to BILD. "I'm doing everything I can to be back in top form by December at t...

Impact Demirovic has missed the last four games across all competitions due to a fractured foot and is expected to be sidelined for at least one more month, with a return targeted for December. Until then, Deniz Undav is expected to lead the line for Stuttgart.

NOVEMBER 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Lorenz Assignon - Suffers shoulder injury Assignon is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Leipzig due to a shoulder injury, according to Kicker.

Impact Assignon isn't available for Saturday's clash against Leipzig since he suffered a shoulder injury this week. The right full back has been a regular starter for Stuttgart since his arrival over the summer and his absence is forcing change in the starting XI, with Josha Vagnoman starting in his place.

NOVEMBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Tiago Tomas - Back to bench Tomas (undisclosed) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Leipzig.

Impact Tomas is fit enough to be included in the squad for Saturday's clash against Leipzig but will start on the bench after dealing with an issue last week. The attacking midfielder is usually a regular starter for Stuttgart and will likely feature as a substitute if needed.

NOVEMBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Tiago Tomas - Late call Saturday Tomas (undisclosed) is suffering from an issue and is a late call for Saturday's clash against Leipzig, coach Sebastian Hoeness said in the press conference. "The only thing that's...

Impact Tomas will be assessed after the final training session to determine if he can be part of the squad for Saturday's clash against Leipzig, as he is currently dealing with an issue suffered last week. The attacking midfielder is a regular starter when fit, and if he were to miss some time, Jamie Leweling would likely step into his spot in the frontline.

OCTOBER 31, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Dan Zagadou - Not available Saturday Zagadou (strain) is not available for Saturday's clash against Leipzig, coach Sebastian Hoeness said in the press conference. "Daxo has reacted muscularly to the strain."

Impact Zagadou was forced off in the 74th minute of Sunday's clash against Mainz and has reacted muscularly to the strain, leaving him unavailable for the time being. His timeline for return is uncertain, but that setback should make him miss several weeks at least. Zagadou is expected to hold a rotational role when fit, therefore his absence won't impact the starting XI.

OCTOBER 31, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Pascal Stenzel - Debuts in rotated lineup Stenzel had two shots (one on goal), five crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 2-1 win against Mainz. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 46th minute.

Impact Having not played any minutes this season, Stenzel earned his first start in a rotated lineup as the team managed minutes after a European trip. He registered two shots, five crosses, two interceptions and one clearance.

OCTOBER 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Alexander Nubel - Concedes but registers assist Nubel recorded one save and allowed one goal in Sunday's 2-1 victory versus Mainz.

Impact Nubel recorded his first league assist and second in all competitions, an impressive stat for a goalkeeper. He had a quiet outing otherwise, making one save while conceding from the penalty spot. He now has four clean sheets this season as Stuttgart prepare to face second-place Leipzig on Saturday.

OCTOBER 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Josha Vagnoman - Assists in win Vagnoman assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 2-1 win versus Mainz.

Impact Vagnoman made his first start in nearly a month as part of a heavily rotated lineup. He provided his first assist after scoring in his previous start, giving him one goal and one assist across six appearances.

OCTOBER 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Chris Fuhrich - Makes impact in second start Fuhrich scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and two crosses (one accurate) in Sunday's 2-1 victory versus Mainz.

Impact In only his second start of the season, Fuhrich scored his first goal from two shots, adding to the assist he recorded in the opening match. He continues to play a limited role in the team's rotation, but this goal could help him earn more opportunities.

OCTOBER 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Deniz Undav - Marks comeback with goal Undav scored one goal to go with three shots (three on goal) and four chances created in Sunday's 2-1 victory versus Mainz.

Impact Returning to the starting lineup after a five-game injury break and two substitute appearances, Undav scored his first goal of the season and set a personal season high with four chances created and three shots on target. The forward scored nine league goals last season and 18 the season before, establishing himself as one of the team's key attackers.

OCTOBER 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Dan Zagadou - Exits with injury Zagadou was forced off the field in the 74th minute of Sunday's 2-1 win against Mainz due to an apparent injury.

Impact Zagadou would be taken off the field with just 16 minutes left in Sunday's match but it still appeared to be due to injury. The defender had just earned his first start and appearance of the season, so this is a tough development. He will hope for only minor issues and a return to the team sheet next outing, although a rotational role is likley to continue moving forward.

OCTOBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Jamie Leweling - Features off bench Thursday Leweling (groin) featured 13 minutes off bench in Thursday's 1-0 loss against Fenerbahce, confirming he is back fit for Stuttgart.

Impact Leweling missed the last Bundesliga game against Wolfsburg due to a groin injury but has fully recovered after featuring off bench 13 minutes on Thursday and contributing two crosses. The left winger has been an undisputed starter in the frontline for Stuttgart this season and will be expected to claim back that role in upcoming fixtures.

OCTOBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Justin Diehl - Suffers ankle injury Diehl is out for the time being due to an ankle injury, according to his club.

Impact Diehl will hit the sidelines for the next game or two coming up, as after receiving an MRI, he was deemed to have suffered an ankle injury. This is a brutal development for the forward, as he has yet to debut this season, missing out early in the season due to injury as well. He only appeared in seven games all of last season, likely set for a small role again once fit.
