Robert Skov - Has thigh injury Skov is dealing with a thigh injury and is listed as questionable for Sunday's match at Freiburg, according to manager Andre Breitenreiter.

Impact Skov has had a solid start to the season with one goal and one assist in six games, so his absence could incite some change in the attacking emphasis of his team. Angelino could take his place in the lineup for Sunday's game if needed.

Benjamin Hubner - Still out Hubner (ankle) will miss Sunday's match at Hoffenheim.

Impact Hubner also has yet to return to training, according to manager Andre Breitenreiter. Given this news, it could take upwards of a month before Hubner gets a chance to play and compete for starts.

Ermin Bicakcic - Training with team, still out Bicakcic (knee) has been training with his teammates but remains unavailable ahead of Sunday's match against Freiburg, according to manager Andre Breitenreiter.

Impact Bicakcic probably needs to work on his match fitness as he has yet to play this season and was hurt before the campaign as well. He started in 13 of his 21 appearances last season and won't be much more than a backup when fit.

SEPTEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ihlas Bebou - Remains unavailable Bebou (knee) isn't available for Sunday's match against Freiburg.

Impact Bebou has yet to play this season and it remains unclear when he'll get his chance. He scored seven goals in 28 appearances last season and would be a useful asset when fit.

Dortmund stunned at home with 3-goal comeback from Bremen

Promoted Werder Bremen has stunned Borussia Dortmund with three very late goals to win 3-2 and deal the home team its first Bundesliga loss of the season

AUGUST 20, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Oliver Baumann - First clean sheet Baumann made three saves and two clearances in Saturday's 3-0 win over Bayer Leverkusen.

Impact Baumann has opened his account for clean sheets against his toughest opponents of the season. The veteran keeper is once again in net for Baumann and looks to be one of the most steady keepers in the Bundesliga yet again. Baumann has made 10 saves in the first three matches on the way to two wins.

AUGUST 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Angelino - Busy in win Angelino had three shots (one on goal), six crosses (one accurate), and one chance created in Saturday's 3-0 victory against Bayer Leverkusen.

Impact Angelino has yet to get on the scoresheet for his new club but has certainly been filling the stats. The left wing-back has created three chances in his first two matches with the club, as well as tacking on 17 crosses in that time. With that sort of volume the production is sure to follow for Angelino who seems to have the starting job at left wing-back locked down.

AUGUST 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Grischa Promel - Assists Saturday Promel assisted once to go with zero corners in Saturday's 3-0 win against Bayer Leverkusen.

Impact Promel found his first assist of the campaign during Saturday's win, tying his total from the previous two seasons. The midfielder is with a new club in Hoffenheim and seems to be gelling will with the new team, having played the full 90 in each of the first three matches. That sort of playing time should help Promel's upside, especially as he looks to match an eight-goal return last time out.

AUGUST 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Christoph Baumgartner - Scores yet again Baumgartner scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 3-0 victory over Bayer Leverkusen.

Impact Baumgartner has made it two goals from two matches despite starting in central midfield. The midfielder is on pace to blow past his seven goals from the 2021/22 campaign and has already found himself shooting more frequently in the new season. Baumgartner and Hoffenheim have a lot of potential especially if the team can avoid the massive injuries issues that plagued them throughout the previous campaign.

AUGUST 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Georginio Rutter - Opens season account Rutter scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate), and one chance created in Saturday's 3-0 win versus Bayer Leverkusen.

Impact Rutter netter his first goal of the season on the way to a second win. The forward built a strong debut campaign with eight goals and two assists in just 13 starts and is looking to build on that already. Rutter has been shooting far less so far in 2022/23 which could limit his goal upside, but an uptick in playing time should give him the chance to gel with the Hoffenheim attack more this time around.

AUGUST 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Andrej Kramaric - Nets in upset Kramaric scored one goal and assisted once from two shots and one chance created in Saturday's 3-0 win against Bayer Leverkusen.

Impact Kramaric scored his second goal of the season and added an assist during Saturday's one-sided win. It was an excellent upset for Hoffenheim who now have two wins on trot as well as Kramaric who is sitting on three goal contributions in the opening three matches. Kramaric is in fine form though it will take a heroic effort to get back to his career bests of 20 goals and five assists in 2020.

AUGUST 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Kevin Vogt - Starts Saturday Vogt is fit and in the starting Xi for Saturday's match with Leverkusen.

Impact Vogt returns after leaving last week's match against Bochum with a head injury. The defender starts in the center of Hoffenheim's back three for Saturday's Bundesliga clash with Leverkusen.

AUGUST 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Stanley Nsoki - Not in squad Saturday Nsoki is not in the match day squad to face Leverkusen on Saturday.

Impact Nsoki misses out on Saturday's clash with Leverkusen due to an undisclosed injury. The defender will hope to return next week against Augsburg.

AUGUST 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Stanley Nsoki - Listed as questionable Nsoki is considered questionable ahead of Saturday's trip to Bayer Leverkusen due to an undisclosed injury, his club announced Thursday.

Impact Nsoki only played until halftime in his first start of the season against Bochum and his fitness has become an issue early in the season. Kevin Akpoguma replaced Nsoki during Saturday's game and could take his place in the starting lineup if needed.

AUGUST 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Angelo Stiller - Spotted on pitch Stiller (knee) was pictured participating in training during Wednesday's session.

Impact Stiller had seemingly suffered a knee ligament injury but judging by the photos of his training session, he's not far off returning. It would still be wise to let him work his way to full fitness but for a club lacking in depth, his return would be a nice boost to central-midfield.

AUGUST 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Philipp Pentke - Out with bursitis Pentke will be out for multiple weeks after undergoing an operation on his right elbow to treat bursitis.

Impact Pentke doesn't have much fantasy value as the backup goalkeeper, so this won't make much of an impact on the lineup as long as Oliver Baumann stays sharp.

AUGUST 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sebastian Rudy - Assists as substitute Rudy assisted one goal from his only chance created, sent in one accurate cross, made one tackle (won) and four clearances in 28 minutes during Saturday's 3-2 win over Bochum.

Impact Rudy subbed on in the second half and assisted Munas Dabbur's game-winner in the 88th minute to complete their comeback and earn three points at home. The mifielder played in both games so far as substitute, while starting in seven of his 27 appearances in 2021-22. He posted three goals and one assist over that span and will look to improve his numbers in the current season.
