Julian Malatini - Out for rest of season Malatini has suffered a ligament tear in his ankle and will be out for the rest of the season, according to his club.

Impact Malatini went down in Sunday's match and will now miss the rest of the season, suffering a tear in his ankle. The club is still waiting for further examination, as surgery is likely on the table as he prepares to heal for the next campaign. This adds to the issues for a club that cannot remain fit, as they lose another defender. The good news is he has only started in five games all season, so this is no major loss.

Felix Agu - Listed to bench Agu (groin) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Mainz.

Impact Agu is back in the team sheet after he appears to have passed his testing, with the midfielder on the bench. He was a starter at left-back to begin the season, but after two injuries have limited him to two games since October. 4, he will likely need to work back into time over the next month or so.

Felix Agu - Could make squad Sunday Agu (groin) could make the squad for Sunday's clash against Mainz, according to coach Daniel Thioune. "They are not candidates for the starting eleven. I will decide on Saturday wh...

Impact Agu has not returned to full team training yet but could still be a late fitness call ahead of Sunday's clash against Mainz. The left wing-back might sneak into the squad as a surprise option, though he is not expected to start the match. Isaac Schmidt or Olivier Deman remain the leading candidates to cover the role until Agu gets fully back up to speed.

Felix Agu - Trains partially Thursday Agu (groin) was spotted training partially with the team Thursday as planned, according to the club.

Impact Agu returned to partial team training Thursday as planned as he continues working his way back from a groin injury. The midfielder is unlikely to be risked in Sunday's clash against Mainz, especially since he had only just come back from a long-term ankle injury and the medical staff will want to avoid another setback for a player who is an undisputed starter on the left flank when fully fit. A return next week appears more realistic, leaving Isaac Schmidt and Olivier Deman as the leading candidates to handle the role against Mainz.

Impact Agu is still battling his groin injury but appears to be in a decent spot heading into the week, already training individually. This will hopefully lead him to then join partial team training Thursday, although unlikely to play Sunday. The club will wait for him as an option to gain some more depth, only an option for three games since the end of September due to injuries.
