Takuma Asano - Returns to training Asano (knee) participated in Thursday's training session ahead of Saturday's trip to Augsburg.

Impact Asano started over the first six games of the season before suffering an injury that's ruled him out until now. Capable of starting across the midfield, Asano will have a little time left to get fully fit before joining Japan's national team for the World Cup.

Manuel Riemann - Concedes once in upset win Riemann allowed a goal while making a save during Tuesday's 1-1 draw with Borussia Monchengladbach.

Impact Riemann allowed a goal in the second half, but was backed with two early goals as Bochum upset Gladbach on Tuesday. The keeper has now allowed 36 goals in 14 league starts while his lone save upped his season total to 59.

Christopher Antwi-Adjej - Opens the scoring early Antwi-Adjei scored a goal while taking four shots (one on goal) and crossing once inaccurately during Tuesday's 1-1 draw with Borussia Monchengladbach.

Impact Antwi-Adjei found the back of the net after just seven minutes to open the scoring in the match. The goal was the first of the season for the attacker as Antwi-Adjei has struggled for playing time, starting just three times in his nine league appearances.

NOVEMBER 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Simon Zoller - Sets up opening goal Zoller had an assist while crossing twice inaccurately and creating three chances during Tuesday's 1-1 draw with Borussia Monchengladbach.

Impact Zoller set up Christopher Antwi-Adjei in the seventh minute assisting the opening goal of the match. The assist was the first of the season for the attacker to go along with three goals in his 12 league starts.

Philipp Hofmann - Nets eventual game winner Hofmann scored a goal while taking three shots (one on goal) during Tuesday's 1-1 draw with Borussia Monchengladbach.

Impact Hofmann found the back of the net in the 11th minute, scoring Bochum's second goal which ended up being the eventual game winner. The goal was a team-high fourth of the season for the forward as he's made 11 starts in his 14 league appearances.

Danilo Soares - Makes five tackles against Dortmund Soares made five tackles (four won) and drew two fouls during Saturday's 3-0 loss against Borussia Dortmund.

Impact Soares had another solid outing on the defensive end despite seeing his side conceding three goals during the first half. On the other hand, the left-back remains a non-factor on the attacking end and that really hurts his fantasy upside.

Kevin Stoger - Solid playmaking against Dortmund Stoger had one off-target shot, created three chances, sent in seven crosses (two accurate), made four tackles (three won) and drew three fouls during Saturday's 3-0 loss against B...

Impact Stoger was Bochum's lone positive on the attacking end, showing all his playmaking skills and leading his side in multiple categories but didn't have a teammate to capitalize on the chances he created. Despite his lack of appearances on the scoresheet this season, the midfielder has been very productive so far and looks like a great pickup at his position right now.

Jordi Osei-Tutu - Attempts one shot versus Dortmund Osei-Tutu had one shot on target and made two tackles (both won) during Saturday's 3-0 loss against Borussia Dortmund.

Impact Osei-Tutu had a very quiet performance overall but still had his side's biggest scoring chance just after halftime. However, the winger saw the goalkeeper slightly tipping the ball to make it hit the post and deny what would've been his first goal of the campaign. A starter in each of the last three league matches, Osei-Tutu will hope to remain in the lineup for the upcoming contests.

Manuel Riemann - Concedes three against Dortmund Riemann made zero saves and conceded three goals during Saturday's 3-0 loss against Borussia Dortmund.

Impact Riemann wasn't at fault for either of the first two goals scored by the opposition but was caught completely out of position by Youssoufa Moukoko on the third goal after taking a free kick on the defensive end and being too slow to get back to the net. To make things worse, the goalkeeper didn't make any save and the opposition couldn't find the target in any attempt other than the three that resulted in goals. With 12 goals allowed and just seven saves over his last four starts, Riemann will try to bounce back during Tuesday's home clash against Borussia Monchengladbach.

NOVEMBER 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Takuma Asano - Out next two games Asano (knee) will miss Wednesday's match against Borussia Monchengladbach and Saturday's match at Augsburg, according to manager Thomas Letsch.

Impact Asano is named in Japan's squad for the World Cup so he's not expected to be injured past the final week of the first half of the season. He started in six matches to open the season but has since been injured, so getting back in time for Qatar is a bit fortunate.

NOVEMBER 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Dominique Heintz - Won't play Tuesday Heintz (back) will miss Tuesday's match against Borussia Monchengladbach, according to manager Thomas Letsch.

Impact Heintz missed much of September and October and despite a brief return in the Oct. 29 loss to Wolfsburg he's back on the sideline. Ivan Ordets and Vasilios Lampropoulos will continue in defense while Heintz remains out.

NOVEMBER 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Erhan Masovic - Won't play in next two games Masovic (groin) will miss Tuesday's match against Borussia Monchengladbach or in Saturday's match at Augsburg, according to manager Thomas Letsch.

Impact Masovic has missed each of the last two matches and will now miss a third and fourth consecutive game due to his injury. Ivan Ordets and Vasilios Lampropoulos should remain as the defensive pairing while Masovic is out.

Impact Ordets returns after dealing with both an illness and fitness concerns in the buildup to the match. The centerback has made nine starts for Bochum helping his side keep one clean sheet.

Erhan Masovic - Ruled out Masovic (groin) is out for Saturday's trip to Dortmund, according to manager Thomas Letsch.

Impact Masovic won't play Saturday but could come back during the final two matches of the campaign, starting with a Tuesday clash against Gladbach. The center-back has been a consistent starter when fit but will likely be replaced by Vasilios Lampropoulos and Ivan Ordets yet again.

NOVEMBER 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Takuma Asano - Set for World Cup return Asano (knee) is back in team training and is expected to be fit for the World Cup, according to manager Thomas Letsch.

Impact Asano is back in team training and was named to the Japan national team for the World Cup. The attacker is expected to return for the World Cup and could even return to the final domestic match, against Augsburg on Saturday. Asano is a nailed-on starter when healthy, and will need to be at his best as Bochum look to avoid near-certain relegation.
