Jesper Lindstrom - Clears illness Lindstrom (illness) is an option for Sunday's clash against Stuttgart after training normally all week, coach Daniel Bauer said in the press conference. "Jesper has trained normall...

Impact Lindstrom shook off his illness this week and returned to full training with the squad, putting himself back in the mix for Sunday's showdown against Stuttgart. That's a big boost for the wolves, as he gives the front line another dynamic option moving forward. Still, he'll likely be eased back into action in a rotational role before ramping up to full speed.

Maximilian Arnold - Still not an option Arnold (groin) is out for Sunday's match against Stuttgart, according to manager Daniel Bauer. "Max won't make it by Sunday due to his issues in the adductor and groin area."

Impact Arnold is going to remain sidelined this week as he deals with an adductor injury, still not an option despite his expected return to training this week. However, this is at least positive news, as the midfielder could return as soon as the next match. With Arnold out again, expect Vinicius or Yannick Gerhardt to start in his place.

Kevin Paredes - Suffers new injury Paredes (muscular) suffered a new injury in training this week and will be sidelined for several weeks, according to WAZ.

Impact Paredes battled back from a long term foot injury in January but is headed back to the sidelines after picking up a fresh muscle injury in training. The Wolves just can't catch a break on the injury front and this latest setback further thins out an already stretched attacking unit. That said, Paredes logged just one start across five appearances since his return so his absence should not shake up the starting XI.

Joakim Maehle - Spotted training with ball Maehle (shoulder) was spotted back in partial training Tuesday and doing some exercises with the ball, according to Kicker.

Impact Maehle has been sidelined since late October after suffering a serious shoulder injury that required surgery and a full rehab process back in Denmark. There was finally a positive development this week, as the defender was spotted in partial training Tuesday and working with the ball, a clear sign that his recovery is trending in the right direction. If he can ramp up to full team sessions in the coming weeks, a return sometime in March is firmly on the table, and once he's back at full speed, he's expected to regain his regular starting spot along the wolves' back line.

Jonas Wind - Trains partially Tuesday Wind (thigh) did some parts of team training Tuesday for the first time since his surgery, according to Kicker.

Impact Wind still has work to do before he is fully cleared for team training, as the striker only took part in select portions of Tuesday's session. That said, this marks a real step forward for the Danish forward, since it was the first time he had been seen on the training pitch following the serious thigh injury that required surgery in late November. He is expected to need several more weeks before he is truly back in the mix, and his status for the stretch run remains uncertain, especially considering he had mostly been operating as a bench option prior to the setback.

Maximilian Arnold - Should train this week Arnold (groin) is expected to resume individual training Tuesday and rejoin team training later during the week with the aim to be back available for Sunday's clash against Stuttga...

Impact Arnold is battling a groin issue that kept him out of Saturday's matchup against Augsburg and limited his workload throughout last week. That said, the midfielder is expected to restart individual sessions Tuesday and rejoin full team training no later than Friday, with the clear goal of being available for Sunday's clash against Stuttgart. That would be a major boost for the wolves, as he's a locked-in starter in midfield when healthy and one of the team's primary set-piece specialists. If he needs additional time to get right, Yannick Gerhardt is in line to grab another start until Arnold is fully back up to speed.

Christian Eriksen - Assists in Saturday's loss Eriksen assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), 10 crosses (four accurate) and four corners in Saturday's 3-2 defeat versus FC Augsburg.

Impact Eriksen recorded his fifth assist of the season Saturday as he set up Yannick Gerhardt's header in the 41st minute which opened up the scoring. It was a highly productive performance for him beyond that too as he created four chances for the second time this season and set season highs in crosses (10) and accurate crosses (four). He completed the full 90 minutes in his fourth consecutive match.

6 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Yannick Gerhardt - Scores in return Saturday Gerhardt scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 3-2 loss versus FC Augsburg.

Impact Gerhardt, who was an unused sub in each of the last two matches, returned to the starting XI Saturday. He made his impact felt as he opened up the scoring in the 41st minute with a header off a Christian Eriksen assist. It marked his first goal contribution of the season. He was active on the defensive end as well, contributing four clearances, one tackle, one interception and one blocked shot in his full 90 minutes of action.

Kento Shiogai - Scores in Saturday's loss Shiogai scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 3-2 defeat to FC Augsburg.

Impact Shiogai scored his first goal since joining Wolfsburg in January, a strike in the 70th minute assisted by Mohammed Amoura which took the 2-1 lead. It was one of two shots he put on target in his 25 minutes off the bench. It's been a somewhat slow start to his tenure with Wolfsburg, but perhaps this goal can give a boost to his confidence and his performance moving forward.

6 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Kamil Grabara - Concedes three in Saturday's loss Grabara registered three saves and allowed three goals in Saturday's 3-2 defeat versus FC Augsburg.

Impact Grabara conceded three goals Saturday, including two after the 87th minute which quickly turned a win into a heartbreaking loss. It marked the ninth time this season he conceded three goals, two of which have come against Augsburg. He faces a tough matchup next Sunday at Stuttgart, a side which has scored 41 goals across 22 matches this season.

Maximilian Arnold - Dealing with groin issue Arnold (groin) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Augsburg due to an injury, the club announced.

Impact Arnold won't be available for Saturday's matchup against Augsburg as a groin issue that limited him throughout the week in training ultimately keeps him out of the squad. The midfielder's absence is a real blow, as the wolves lose one of their primary set-piece specialists and a steady presence in the engine room. Until he's back to full strength, Yannick Gerhardt is set to step into an expanded role in the middle of the park.

FEBRUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Aaron Zehnter - Out to face Augsburg Zehnter (undisclosed) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Augsburg.

Impact Zehnter is out for Saturday's match against Augsburg despite returning to training earlier this week. The defender had already missed the last two matches due to injury and is not ready to feature. The left-back position remains unsettled following the recent arrival of Jeanuel Belocian.

FEBRUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Kevin Paredes - Back on bench Paredes (illness) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Augsburg.

Impact Paredes is back on the bench for Saturday's clash against Augsburg after missing the last match due to illness. He has returned to training and is available again but does not reclaim a starting role. Having started in his most recent appearance while previously operating in a reserve role his position in the rotation remains fluid.

FEBRUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Patrick Wimmer - Remains sidelined Wimmer is not yet ready to play as he continues to deal with a muscular injury on the left thigh, his club reported Friday.

Impact Wimmer has missed the last two Bundesliga games due to a muscle strain and is unlikely to return in the short term. The winger had played an important role for the squad when he was available, scoring three goals and two assists over a string of 10 starts. Both Adam Daghim and Mattias Svanberg could continue to see increased playing time in Wimmer's absence.

Kevin Paredes - Late call Saturday Paredes (illness) is back in training and will be re-evaluated after the final session to determine whether he is fit for Saturday's clash against Augsburg, assistant coach Tobias...

Impact Paredes is back in training and will be re-evaluated after the final session to determine whether he is fit for Saturday's clash against Augsburg, having missed the last match due to illness. Paredes started in his most recent appearance but had held a reserve role in prior outings, so his role moving forward remains to be determined.

FEBRUARY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Aaron Zehnter - Back available Zehnter (undisclosed) is back available for Saturday's clash against Augsburg after resuming full team training this week, assistant coach Tobias Holm said in the press conference....

Impact Zehnter is back available for Saturday's match against Augsburg after resuming full team training this week, having missed the last two matches due to injury. The right-back role remains undecided following the recent arrival of Jeanuel Belocian.

FEBRUARY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Jesper Lindstrom - Still out Lindstrom (illness) remains out for Saturday's clash against Augsburg, coach Daniel Bauer said in the press conference. "Jesper Lindstrom will not be fit in time for the match."

Impact Lindstrom remains out for Saturday's clash against Augsburg after already missing the previous match due to illness. The midfielder had held a reserve role prior to his setback, and his absence is not expected to have a significant impact.

FEBRUARY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Kamil Grabara - Eight saves for draw Grabara registered eight saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-2 draw against RB Leipzig.

Impact Grabara was stellar Sunday, he stopped eight of the 10 shots he faced and made some huge saves just to keep the match competitive. The goalkeeper was astounding throughout the match and did brilliantly well to stop the Leipzig attack on the break. Grabara has struggled at times with the team in front of him, but he can be excellent when needed.

FEBRUARY 16 • ROTOWIRE

Jeanuel Belocian - Assists Sunday Belocian assisted once to go with zero corners and two chances created in Sunday's 2-2 draw against RB Leipzig.

Impact Belocian set up a big goal for the draw during Sunday's draw. The defender doesn't tend to be a major offensive threat, but he was excellent Sunday, creating a pair of chances and earning an assist. This is just his second senior goal contribution across his time in France and Germany.

FEBRUARY 16 • ROTOWIRE

Adam Daghim - Assists against Leipzig Daghim assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus RB Leipzig.

Impact Daghim provided one assist on his only chance created Sunday, making the most of his time on the pitch to set up a crucial goal. It was a nice draw against a hard side to beat and Daghim did his part to earn the point. It was also a second start in a row for Daghim, who seems to have earned more trust in the starting XI in recent weeks.

FEBRUARY 16 • ROTOWIRE

Mattias Svanberg - Scores from midfield Svanberg scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus RB Leipzig.

Impact Svanberg scored a rare goal during Sunday's clash, making the most of his lone shot and finding the back of the net. The midfielder doesn't tend to be a huge offensive threat, but he was clinical during Sunday's draw. Svanberg will hope he can build on this goalscoring moving forward, though he's not likely to become prolific in front of net.

FEBRUARY 16 • ROTOWIRE

Aaron Zehnter - Not with team Zehnter (undisclosed) is out for Sunday's match against Leipzig.

Impact Zehnter is not with the club after being doubtful to face Leipzig, with an undisclosed injury too much to play through. He has now missed two straight games and three straight starts, just adding to the club's defensive woes.

FEBRUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Patrick Wimmer - Still out Wimmer (strain) is out for Sunday's match against Leipzig.

Impact Wimmer is not with his team after the questionable tag, as a strain is still too much to play through. He will now miss a second straight match after holding a starting role for a decent tenure, hopefully an option next match after a close call Sunday.

FEBRUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Jesper Lindstrom - Not an option Sunday Lindstrom (illness) is out for Sunday's match against Leipzig.

Impact Lindstrom was not in training Friday after an illness, and that has left him out Sunday, not fit enough to be an option. This is mainly a loss of depth for the club, as he has yet to start or score this season.
