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.

Impact Paredes is back on the bench for Saturday's clash against Augsburg after missing the last match due to illness.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Aaron Zehnter - Doubtful to face Leipzig Zehnter is unlikely for Sunday's match against Leipzig, according to manager Daniel Bauer.

Impact Zehnter was out for the club's last outing and appears to be heading towards a repeat offense Sunday, with the defender remaining doubtful. This will be something to watch with his 14 starts in 16 appearances this season, earning normal time. However, if he misses out again, Jeanuel Belocian is a likely replacement.

Jesper Lindstrom - Doesn't train Friday Lindstrom didn't train Friday due to illness and is questionable to play against RB Leipzig on Sunday, according to manager Daniel Bauer.

Impact Lindstrom was one of two players who didn't train Friday due to an illness, with Kevin Paredes being the other. Lindstrom has been limited to just 88 minutes and six outings off the bench in the current Bundesliga campaign, so he's not expected to cause a big shock in fantasy if he ends up being ruled out.

Kevin Paredes - Dealing with illness Paredes didn't train Friday due to illness and is questionable to play against RB Leipzig on Sunday, according to manager Daniel Bauer.

Impact Paredes was one of two players who didn't train Friday due to an illness, with Jesper Lindstrom being the other. Paredes is expected to return to training Saturday, and that will determine whether he's fit enough to feature Sunday or not. Paredes has been limited to just 129 minutes across four Bundesliga appearances (one start) this season, so his potential absence shouldn't generate a lot of movement in most fantasy formats.

Impact Wimmer didn't play in the 2-1 loss to Dortmund last week, but he has a concrete chance to return to action this weekend. He's started in all but two of his 17 Bundesliga appearances this season while tallying three goals and three assists. If deemed healthy enough, Wimmer could return to the XI right away.

Kilian Fischer - Undergoes successful surgery Fischer (thigh) underwent a successful surgery Friday, the club announced.

Impact Fischer went down with a serious adductor injury and underwent surgery Friday to address the issue. The defender is now staring at an extended stint on the sidelines as he works his way back from the setback. His absence clears a path for Sael Kumbedi to take on a bigger role in the back line for the Wolves until Fischer is fully fit again.

FEBRUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Patrick Wimmer - Could be back Sunday Wimmer (strain) should resume team training Friday and could be an option for Sunday's clash against Leipzig if nothing happens ahead of the game, according to WAZ.

Impact Wimmer has been managing muscular fatigue and was sidelined for the last match against Dortmund because of it, but the attacking midfielder is set to resume individual work Thursday before ramping up to full training Friday with the goal of being available for Sunday's showdown against Leipzig. He is shaping up as a true game-time decision, though reports suggest the club remains optimistic about his chances of suiting up this weekend. That said, if he is unable to go, Adam Daghim is in line to get another start and shoulder the load in his absence.

Vinicius Souza - Plays during friendly Vinicius (illness) played 45 minutes in Wednesday's friendly against SV Meppen.

Impact Vinicius was able to resume play Wednesday as the club took the field for a friendly, playing the full second half. This is solid news for the club after he started in their last two games, starting in 12 of his 14 appearances this season, but has yet to earn a goal contribution this campaign.

FEBRUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Sael Kumbedi - Plays first half Kumbedi (illness) played the first 45 minutes of Wednesday's friendly against SV Meppen.

Impact Kumbedi had to sit out the last game with an illness and is back in the squad for a midweek match, starting in a friendly. He would play 45 minutes, but that is enough to confirm his fitness, set to return for the weekend. He has been a regular on the right for the club and should maintain that role moving forward.

FEBRUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Kilian Fischer - Out with serious adductor injury Fischer (thigh) is out for the foreseeable future due to a serious adductor injury, according to his club.

Impact Fischer went down injured in the club's last match, only playing 17 minutes, with what appeared to be a concerning scene. That said, after testing, it has been confirmed that it is a serious injury, now set to be sidelined moving forward. This is unfortunate for the defender after a spell out earlier in the season, as they will now continue without a right-back for around three weeks to a month. Sael Kumbedi (illness) should earn a spot back in the starting XI due to the absence, splitting time at right-back with Fischer.

FEBRUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Konstantinos Koulierakis - Scores one goal Koulierakis scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-1 loss versus Borussia Dortmund.

Impact Koulierakis delivered a strong two-way performance against Dortmund on Saturday, scoring a header off a cross from Maximilian Arnold while also contributing three interceptions, five clearances and three blocks defensively. The center-back returned to the starting XI after missing two matches with a muscular issue and has now started 17 of his 18 Bundesliga appearances this season, totaling 19 tackles, 27 interceptions and 112 clearances during that span.
