Impact Wimmer was limited in training Thursday, and all signs pointed to him not being ready to feature in this one due to both illness and a muscular injury, but he ended up cracking the starting XI and will slot in his usual attacking role.

Jonas Wind - Only trains partially Wind's (Achilles) status for Friday's game against Koln is questionable, according to manager Niko Kovac.

Impact Wind was limited to only training partially after picking up an achilles injury during the international break. The forward has started all three games this season and is not a player Wolfsburg wants to see going down. There is speculation that he could be back in time for Friday's match, but if he is not, expect Amin Sarr, Tiago Tomas, or Jakub Kaminski to slide into his starting striker role.

Patrick Wimmer - Limited in training Wimmer's (strain) availability is in question going into Saturday's match with Union Berlin, Manager Nico Kovac announced.

Impact Wimmer could miss the first game back from the international break after picking up an illness and a muscle issue. He did not run through a full training session on Thursday and has been limited in practice this week due to the injury. The forward has started in two of the three matches this season, and his loss is something the club does not want to see after notching 14 goal contributions last year. If he is unable to play on Saturday, expect Tiago Tomas to start in Wimmer's position.

Manager Niko Kovac also bluntly spoke about new addition Amin Sarr as a like-for-like replacement for Nmecha.
