Dominique Heintz - Out against Dortmund Heintz will miss Saturday's trip to Borussia Dortmund due to a back issue but is expected to return by Tuesday's match against Borussia Monchengladbach, according to manager Thomas...

Impact Heintz just returned from a multi-week absence in Saturday's 4-0 loss to Wolfsburg and is now set for a hopefully shorter stint on the sidelines. Vasilios Lampropoulos has been named as a likely starter next to Ivan Ordets while Heintz is unavailable.

Marko Johansson - Won't play Saturday Johannson will miss Saturday's match against Borussia Dortmund due to a cold, according to manager Thomas Letsch.

Impact Johansson doesn't have a great role to play as a backup goalkeeper, so his absence is unlikely to make a major impact.

Ivan Ordets - Limited in training Ordets (illness/fitness) was limited in training Wednesday, Bochum announced.

Impact Ordets was held to light training but was able to return to the training ground. The defender has a good chance to hold onto his nailed-on starting role against Dortmund on Saturday, though he could be an early substitute once more, as he was during a 4-0 loss to Wolfsburg.

Lys Mousset - Returns to full team training Mousset is back in full team training, according to Philipp Rentsch of Ruhr Nachrichten.

Impact Mousset has made a full return to team training and should be an option going forward. The striker isn't likely to make much impact on the first team, but a return to health should give him the Winter break to rebuild his match-fitness.

Ivan Ordets - Struggling for fitness Ordets (illness/fitness) didn't train Tuesday, manager Thomas Letsch told Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung.

Impact Ordets was taken off at half-time during Saturday's 4-0 loss to Wolfsburg and evidently is struggling for fitness with the flu. The defender is a doubt for Saturday's trip to Dortmund, with three games coming in seven days it's possible he's given that match off. Tim Oermann is a potential replacement alongside Dominique Heintz.

Erhan Masovic - Unlikely to play Saturday Masovic (groin) is unlikely to be available for Saturday's trip to Dortmund, manager Thomas Letsch told Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung.

Impact Masovic remains sidelined who Letsch added they will hope to get the defender back for the mid-week clash with Gladbach. Dominique Heintz will likely continue in central defense while Masovic remains out.

NOVEMBER 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Jacek Goralski - Suffers major set-back Goralski suffered a major set-back and will be out through the entirety of the Winter break, Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung reports.

Impact Goralski was on track to return before the World Cup, but has now picked up a structural muscular injury and is sidelined indefinitely. The midfielder will be replaced by some combination of Kevin Stoger and Philipp Forster in central midfield.

NOVEMBER 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Dominique Heintz - Goes 90 on return Heintz had one shot (zero on goal) in Saturday's 4-0 defeat to VfL Wolfsburg.

Impact Heintz made his return to the starting XI and went the full 90 during Saturday's rout. It wasn't a good match for Heintz or Bochum, but it's hard to say the center-back was the issue. He will likely be a rotational option behind Erhan Masovic, and with little-to-no clean sheet upside the Bochum defense isn't overly appealing in any fantasy formats.

OCTOBER 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Cristian Gamboa - Busy in rout Gamboa had one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 4-0 defeat against VfL Wolfsburg.

Impact Gamboa was right back in his natural role at full-back, but just couldn't stem the tide of a free-flowing Wolfsburg attack. The defender has been one of the most consistent pieces of the starting XI since earning the main role, though Bochum's awful form make him hard to trust. With little clean sheet upside and incompetent forwards ahead of him there's not much to chase with Gamboa, though he does have a decent floor on both sides of the ball.

OCTOBER 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Kevin Stoger - Creates chance Stoger had two shots (zero on goal), two crosses (one accurate), and one chance created in Saturday's 4-0 defeat against VfL Wolfsburg.

Impact Stoger has one goal and one assist in 11 appearances (10 starts), he also has created 27 chances, putting him on pace to blow past his career-high. Bochum awful finishing have held Stoger back, but his volume has been brilliant and his form in general make him an interesting play. Stoger and Bochum will be underdogs in most matches, but Stoger is a near-guarantee to drive anything going forward.

OCTOBER 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Jordi Osei-Tutu - Second straight start Osei-Tutu had three tackles (one won) in Saturday's 4-0 defeat to VfL Wolfsburg.

Impact Osei-Tutu didn't have much to do Saturday, but he did create his third chance in just his fourth start. The winger has been a limited option, generally only called upon due to injury or rotation. That said he has shown some strong form in this recent run in the starting XI, and could earn an increased role.

Philipp Forster - Only one corner Forster attempted one corner kick during a 4-0 loss to VfL Wolfsburg on Saturday.

Impact VfL Wolfsburg did well preventing the Bochum team from attempting more than one corner kick, which was how Forster logged two assists across his four appearances during October. He will try continuing to be a goal contributor across November.

Manuel Riemann - Allows four goals Riemann conceded four goals during a 4-0 loss to VfL Wolfsburg on Saturday.

Impact Riemann allowed four goals during three of his five appearances across October. He will try to redeem himself when the next month commences soon, but VfL Bochum's upcoming game is currently a Nov. 5 matchup against Borussia Dortmund.

Simon Zoller - Fully available Zoller (strain) is fully available for Saturday's trip to Wolfsburg, according to manager Thomas Letsch.

Impact Zoller is fully fit and available for Saturday's trip to Wolfsburg after making a return to training earlier in the week. The forward is a consistent starter when fit, and has the chance to return straight to the starting XI. Zoller had three goals in 10 starts before picking up the muscular issue.

Anthony Losilla - Solid defensively versus Union Losilla made one tackle, six clearances and one block during Sunday's 2-1 win over Union Berlin.

Impact Losilla this time did more than just alleviating the task of center-backs as he almost played like one of them, even doubling his previous season high in clearances. The midfielder is accumulating dominant performances with great displays of tenacity and good positioning, having started in all 11 matches so far this season.

OCTOBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Jacek Goralski - Unavailable against Wolfsburg Goralski will miss Saturday's match against Wolfsburg due to a muscular injury, according to manager Thomas Letsch.

Impact Goralski had a chance to return this week but his absence from training scuppered that from happening. He's played just three times this season so his absence isn't much to plan around, with Kevin Stoger, Philipp Forster and Anthony Losilla a likely trio in midfield.

OCTOBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Vasilis Lampropoulos - Left on bench in win Lampropoulos was left on the bench for Sunday's 2-1 win over Union Berlin.

Impact Lampropoulos has made two starts in six appearances this season, and might continue to play a part given the regular injury issues at the club.

OCTOBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Erhan Masovic - Won't play Saturday Masovic (groin) has been ruled out of Saturday's trip to Wolfsburg, according to manager Thomas Letsch.

Impact Masovic had completed the full 90 in three straight games but missed training earlier in the week and is now out altogether. Dominique Heintz, Tim Oermann and Vasilios Lampropoulos have all been named as potential replacements by the manager during the absence of Masovic.

OCTOBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ivan Ordets - Makes eight clearances versus Union Ordets made eight clearances and one interception and was shown a yellow card during Sunday's 2-1 win over Union Berlin.

Impact Ordets had another rock-solid performance at the heart of the defense, keeping opposing forwards at bay during most of the match. With 31 clearances over his last five starts, the center back is having a great debut campaign for Bochum so far.

OCTOBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Manuel Riemann - Saves PK, concedes one versus Union Riemann made two saves, including a penalty and conceded one goal during Sunday's 2-1 win over Union Berlin.

Impact Riemann didn't have much job coming his way for most of the match but then the opposition came striking during the last 15 minutes. First, the goalkeeper stopped Milos Pantovic from the penalty spot in the 78th minute. But then he saw the same Pantovic have his revenge with a powerful one-timed shot during stoppage time. With a campaign full of ups and downs so far, Riemann will try to remain productive during Saturday's visit to Wolfsburg.

OCTOBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Christopher Antwi-Adjej - Assists in first season start Antwi-Adjei made an assist, created two chances and sent in four crosses during Sunday's 2-1 win over Union Berlin.

Impact Antwi-Adjei made his first start of the campaign and made most of the opportunity, assisting Gerrit Holtmann for his side's second goal in the 71st minute. This was the second assist over the last three outings for the winger and he'll probably start to rack up more starts if able to keep up with the strong play.

OCTOBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Gerrit Holtmann - Scores off bench in win over Union Holtmann scored a goal off three shots (one on target) after coming off the bench during Sunday's 2-1 win over Union Berlin.

Impact Holtmann was brought in the 65th minute as part of a double substitution and needed just six minutes to make an impact, appearing unmarked inside the box to slot home a pass from the left flank and double his side's lead. This was the first goal of the season for the winger and he'll hope it helps him to be back in the lineup for the upcoming games.
