Dennis Geiger - Assists versus Bochum Geiger assisted one goal from three chances created and sent in three crosses (one accurate) in Saturday's 3-2 win over Bochum.

Impact Geiger assisted Ozan Kabak's equalizer in the 23rd minute, as they earned three points at home in a thrilling comeback win. The midfielder also took three of their eight corner kicks in the match. That was his first assist in the season, after missing the first game last week, while he logged two assists and two goals in the 2021-22 campaign.

Ozan Kabak - Scores equalizer in win Kabak scored one goal from two shots, made one tackle (won), three interceptions, three clearances and one block in Saturday's 3-2 win over Bochum.

Impact Kabak scored the 2-2 equalizer in the 23rd minute, paving the way for their comeback win at home. The centerback also led his side in interceptions during the match. That was his first goal in the season.

Christoph Baumgartner - Scores in comeback win Baumgartner scored one goal from four shots, created one chance, sent in two crosses (one accurate), two interceptions during Saturday's 3-2 win over Bochum.

Impact Baumgartner scored in the 14th minute to cut Bochum's lead to 2-1 and push their comeback win. That was his first goal in the season, after scoring seven times in the last campaign. The forward also took the second-most shots for his side during the match.

Oliver Baumann - Makes three saves in win Baumann made three saves during Saturday's 3-2 win over Bochum.

Impact Baumann conceded twice in the first 13 minutes, but then bounced back to help them earn a comeback win in the second half. The goalkeer has yet to keep a clean sheet after two games in the season, allowing five goals and making seven saves over that span. He will now look for his first when they visit Leverkusen on Saturday.

Kevin Vogt - Comes off injured against Bochum Vogt was subbed out of Saturday's victory against VfL Bochum in the 51st minute after suffering a head injury. He created a chance and made a block in the match before being taken...

Impact Vogt played on for a few minutes after a head-to-head collision on Saturday, but it soon became clear that he couldn't continue and had to be taken off. Pavel Kaderabek replaced him in the game but Stefan Posch would be the more natural option return to the XI in the back-three if Vogt isn't able to play in next weekend's clash against Bayer Leverkusen.

AUGUST 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Stefan Posch - Suspension served Posch will be available versus Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday after serving his one-match suspension.

Impact Posch started the season opener versus Gladbach on Aug. 6 but managed just 19 minutes before being sent off for his second yellow card. Still, the central defender should reclaim his spot in the starting XI for Saturday's clash which will likely see Stanley Ksoki returned to a bench role.

Dennis Geiger - Starting Saturday Geiger is fit and in the starting XI for Saturday's match with Bochum.

Impact Geiger returns after missing the season debut a week ago with an infection. The midfielder takes up a role in the center of the pitch for Saturday's clash with Bochum.

AUGUST 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Muhammed Damar - Earns pro contract Damar signed a contract with Hoffenheim through 2026 after making his debut Saturday against Borussia Monchengladbach, it was announced Wednesday.

Impact Damar has been successful at youth level with Eintracht Frankfurt but now he'll try to transition those efforts to the first team after making a summer move to his current club.

AUGUST 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Angelino - Joins Hoffenheim on loan Angelino has joined Hoffenheim on a season-long loan from RB Leipzig.

Impact Angelino is a useful attacking option for whomever he plays so this makes for a more interesting move depending on who may benefit most After recording five assists on 187 crosses and scoring twice, look for Angelino to remain a reliable presence for a team that's struggled to find its fitness to open the season. However, the move from David Raum to Leipzig from Hoffenheim opened up a corresponding place on the other club so this is more of a trade of starters than anything else.

Oliver Baumann - Concedes three in loss Baumann conceded three goals and made four saves during Saturday's 3-1 loss to Borussia Monchengladbach.

Impact Baumann had the misfortune to watch defender Stefan Posch get sent off in just 19 minutes before conceding all three goals over the rest of the contest. With plenty of younger defensive options, things could improve for Baumann, but he also conceded 57 goals in 33 games last season, which is not the kind of attention he wants this time around.

AUGUST 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Georginio Rutter - Logs 64 minutes in loss Rutter played for 64 minutes of Saturday's 3-1 loss to Borussia Monchengladbach.

Impact Rutter only completed three passes during a game in which his team were a man down for much of the contest after Stefan Posch was sent off. After starting just 13 times last season, Rutter was in from the start in game one during the new campaign and could be worth tracking if he produces the form that saw him score eight times.

AUGUST 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Robert Skov - Scores in loss Skov scored one goal from two shots (one on goal) and logged five inaccurate crosses during Saturday's 3-1 loss to Borussia Monchengladbach.

Impact Skov is likely to take on a bigger role this season after David Raum left for RB Leipzig and it always helps to find the net on day one. Keep an eye on Skov if he can recover the starting job he last held back in 2019/20, when he logged seven assists and scored four goals in 31 appearances (29 starts).

AUGUST 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Andrej Kramaric - Provides assist in loss Kramaric provided one assist from one chance created during 81 minutes of Saturday's 3-1 loss to Borussia Monchengladbach.

Impact Kramaric failed to take a shot in this game but it didn't help to play with just 10 men for much of the contest. He scored just six goals last season but also logged nine assists, so look for Kramaic to be active in the attack even if he doesn't reach the 20 goals he scored during the 2020/21 campaign.

AUGUST 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Stefan Posch - Sent off in loss Posch was sent off after earning two yellow cards during Saturday's 3-1 loss to Borussia Monchengladbach.

Impact Posch lasted just 19 minutes into the game before his dismissal. Stanley Nsoki should make his first league start in the next match against Bochum after coming in to shore up the defense, though all three opposing goals were conceded while he was on the pitch. After his suspension, Posch could be back Aug. 20 against Bayer Leverkusen.

Angelo Stiller - Suffers torn ligament Stiller suffered a torn ligament during a friendly and will miss an extended period of time, his club announced Friday.

Impact Stiller logged two goals in 26 appearances last season (18 starts) but it could be multiple months before he next plays. This could open up a spot for Sebastian Rudy to reprise some minutes while waiting for Stiller's return.

AUGUST 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Dennis Geiger - Out for season opener Geiger (infection) has returned to training but will miss Saturday's match against Borussia Monchengladbach.

Impact Geiger shouldn't be out much longer following this news. In his place, look to Diadie Samassekou as a good option to fill out the midfield.

AUGUST 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ihlas Bebou - Still out Bebou (knee) will miss Saturday's trip to Borussia Monchengladbach.

Impact Bebou also missed the first DFB Pokal match of the campaign and will remain out for at least one more week. Jacob Bruun Larsen could help take Bebou's place in the lineup until he's back.

AUGUST 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Stanley Nsoki - Joins Hoffenheim Nsoki joined Hoffenheim from Club Brugge on Wednesday, committing to a five-year contract with his new club.

Impact Nsoki has taken a roundabout way to a solid club after spending two seasons in Nice and another in Belgium. After Benjamin Hubner (ankle) recently suffered a bigger injury, Nsoki could soon compete for minutes on the back line with other prospects like Justin Che and Ozan Kabak.

AUGUST 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Benjamin Hubner - Suffers ankle injury Hubner suffered an MCL injury in his left ankle during Sunday's DFB Pokal match against Rodinghausen, his club announced Wednesday.

Impact Hubner will probably be out for an extended length of time after suffering this issue just before the league season kicks off Aug. 6 against Borussia Monchengladbach. This gets him off to a bad start after dealing with other injuries last season as he played in just five league games. While he's out, expect Kevin Vogt, Stefan Posch and Kevin Akpoguma to be top options at center-back.
