Maximilian Arnold - Season done Arnold is ending his season early due to a groin injury, according to his club.

Impact Arnold has struggled with groin issues lately, and after suffering a setback in training this week, the midfielder will end his season early. This is a rough loss as they lose their key starting midfielder, leaving Vinicius to start in the defensive midfield to end the season. He ended the season with decent form, recording 20 starts in 25 appearances while notching one goal on 14 shots and four assists on 29 chances created.

Kilian Fischer - Back on pitch in individual session Fischer has returned to the pitch and is working through individual sessions as part of his comeback from the thigh operation he underwent in early February, the club posted.

Impact Fischer has been sidelined for several months following the surgical intervention, and getting back outside in individual work is an encouraging step forward in his rehabilitation. The right-back is still some way from rejoining team training and no return timeline has been provided, but the direction of travel is positive for a player who is a natural starter in that position when fully fit. Wolfsburg will continue to manage his workload carefully as they assess whether he can contribute anything before the season concludes.

Jeanuel Belocian - Consistent starter for Wolfsburg Belocian registered one tackle (zero won) and three clearances in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Monchengladbach.

Across those six games, the defender has recorded nine tackles, five interceptions, 31 clearances and eight blocks, with this match marking his first clean sheet for the club.

He also added two interceptions on the night to earn his first clean sheet with the club this season.

APRIL 26 • ROTOWIRE

Kamil Grabara - Makes rare clean sheet Grabara made two saves and allowed zero goals in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Monchengladbach.

Impact Grabara ended a six-month wait for a clean sheet, having conceded in 22 consecutive matches prior to this game. The goalkeeper made two saves to secure just his second shutout of the season. He will look to build on that momentum with his side sitting in the relegation zone ahead of Sunday's clash with SC Freiburg.

Kevin Paredes - Makes bench Saturday Paredes (muscular) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Gladbach.

Impact Paredes returned to team training after around two months out with muscular issues, earning a spot in the squad after coach Dieter Hecking praised his attitude and the strong impression he had made since coming back. The 22-year-old left winger has been sidelined since February, and Wolfsburg will manage his workload carefully rather than throwing him straight into the starting lineup given the length of his absence. A cameo off the bench represents a logical first step in his return as the club navigates the final stretch of the Bundesliga season.

Patrick Wimmer - Left field tired, not injured Wimmer (undisclosed) is not dealing with an injury and was only limping off the field due to fatigue, according to manager Dieter Hecking. "You can see with Patrick that he was inj...

Impact Wimmer is not going to miss time after a slight injury scare after he was watched limping off the field, instead just tired and needing a break due to fatigue. This will leave the attacker as an option for the club moving forward, a good sign after a recent injury spell. He started in their past three games and will look to return to that role, although he is unlikely to play the full 90.

Mattias Svanberg - Option for play Svanberg (calf) is fit again and has been cleared of his injury, according to manager Dieter Hecking. "Apart from the really prolonged absences, everyone has reported back in train...

Impact Svanberg has been sidelined but is ending the injury absence, as the midfielder was back in training and has returned to full fitness. The club will gain back some depth in the midfield with his addition, a good sign after a season with a long injury list. He has only started in seven of his 21 appearances this season, likely to remain in his depth role.

Kilian Fischer - Could still return this season Fischer (thigh) is still eyeing a potential return this season, according to Wolfsburger Allgemeine.

Impact Fischer has been out since the start of February after an operation on his thigh and is now working his way back to fitness, spotted in training a few weeks ago. That said, the defender is still working on a return this season, potentially making it for the final few games. This would be a major boost to the club as they try to avoid direct relegation, appearing to be heading towards at least the playoffs. When fit, he is a starter at right-back, although it is yet to be seen if he will earn that role back immediately if he is rushed into the team.

Impact Paredes has been making a strong impression in training since his return and the positive assessment from coach Hecking is an encouraging sign heading into the weekend. The 22-year-old left winger has been sidelined since February and figures to ease back in through cameos off the bench rather than being thrown straight into the starting lineup given the length of his absence. Wolfsburg will manage his workload carefully over the final stretch of the Bundesliga season, but his return is a welcome boost for a club that has been without one of their most direct attacking options for two months.

Mattias Svanberg - Still in running work Svanberg is back in running training and making progress in his recovery from a calf muscle fiber tear, but is unlikely to be available in the upcoming fixtures, according to AZ/WA...

Impact Svanberg has been working his way back step by step and the progress is encouraging, but the Wolfsburg medical staff are not yet ready to push him back into competitive action with the next fixtures coming too soon for the midfielder. His return to running is a positive step in the right direction, and the club will continue to monitor his progress over the coming days.

Impact Grabara was decent in net Saturday as he got the win, recording six saves as he only allowed one goal. However, this continued his brutal streak of only one clean sheet all season, with that coming Oct. 25, some time ago. He will now gear up to face Gladbach on April 25, hoping to earn at least one more clean sheet by the end of the season.

Patrick Wimmer - Forced off injured Wimmer scored early in Saturday's clash against Union Berlin before being forced off in the second half due to an apparent injury.

Impact Wimmer scored early in Saturday's clash against Union Berlin before being forced off in the 69th minute due to an apparent injury, with further tests set to determine the severity of the issue. The attacking midfielder had started each of the last three matches, so his potential absence would be a significant blow, with Adam Daghim expected to see increased minutes if he is unavailable.

Kevin Paredes - Still out Saturday Paredes (muscular) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Union Berlin.

Impact Paredes returned to full team training Thursday after managing muscular issues for around two months, but has been unable to earn a spot in the matchday squad despite the encouraging update posted by the club earlier in the week. Given his recent injury history, Wolfsburg opted to exercise caution rather than risk him before he is deemed fully ready. His availability for the coming fixtures will be monitored closely as the club looks to reintegrate him carefully through the final stretch of the Bundesliga season.

Kevin Paredes - Trains with team again Paredes (muscular) was back in full team training Thursday and could be in contention for Saturday's clash against Union Berlin, the club posted.

Impact Paredes has been managing muscular issues for around two months but his return to the training pitch alongside his teammates is an encouraging development heading into the weekend. Given his recent injury history, the club is likely to ease him back into a rotational role rather than throwing him straight into the starting lineup, but having him available again adds a useful depth option for Wolfsburg as they push through the final fixtures of the Bundesliga season.

APRIL 16 • ROTOWIRE

Sael Kumbedi - Back available Saturday Kumbedi (muscular) trained all week and is back available for Saturday's clash against Union Berlin, according to coach Dieter Hecking. "Kumbedi had muscular issues, but he is now...

Impact Kumbedi is back available for Saturday's clash against Union Berlin after training fully with the group this week following a muscular injury that kept him out last match. The defender had been starting prior to the setback and could work his way back into that role, with Aaron Zehnter competing for minutes at left back.
