Fraser Hornby - Out Saturday Hornby (thigh) will not be an option for Saturday's match against Bayer Leverkusen, confirmed manager Torsten Lieberknecht.

Impact Horny got the start at forward for the first match of the season, but was then benched for Luca Pfeiffer on Saturday. If he does not keep healthy this season, his playing time will be limited during his first season playing in the Bundesliga.

Mathias Honsak - Suffering from hamstring issue Honsak (hamstring) is expected not to be available for Saturday's match against Bayer Leverkusen, according to manager Torsten Lieberknecht.

Impact Honsak came off at halftime Saturday in what appeared to of been muscle discomfort in his hamstring. It is not likely that he will be ready to play Saturday, which means that Fabian Holland and Marvin Mehlem could be the pair to lineup in the center midfield, with Fabian Nurnberger and Matthias Bader playing in the outsides.

Christoph Zimmermann - Picks up back issue Zimmermann picked up a back issue in training and could miss Saturday's match against Bayer Leverkusen, according to manager Torsten Liebernecht.

Impact Zimmermann had originally missed last match with an illness, but has now picked up a back issue that could see him miss Saturday's match. This means that Clemens Riedel could get the start at center back again if Zimmermann is not fit to play.

Fraser Hornby - Six shots in loss Hornby generated six shots (one on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 4-1 loss against Union Berlin.

Impact Hornby was an attacking halftime substitute after starting their previous match with his side down 3-1 to the ten men of Union Berlin. He took six shots to go with a cross and a chance created in his time on the pitch which should give him a strong opportunity to earn minutes in Darmstadt's next match on Saturday.

Marvin Mehlem - Wide-ranging output in loss Mehlem scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 4-1 loss to Union Berlin. In addition, he was given a ye...

Impact In addition to his attacking stats Mehlem also made one interception and one clearance in 78 minutes on the pitch. The midfielder will look to last the whole match for the first time this season against a red-hot Leverkusen on Saturday.

AUGUST 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Marcel Schuhen - Two saves as Darmstadt lose Schuhen had two saves and allowed four goals in Saturday's 4-1 loss versus Union Berlin.

Impact Schuhen saved two shots but allowed four goals as Darmstadt lost for the second match in a row. Schuhen is likely to be busy in goal once again when his side takes on an in-form Leverkusen on Saturday.

Christoph Zimmermann - Out with illness Zimmermann was not included in the squad for Saturday's match against Union Berlin due to illness.

Impact Zimmermann started and went the full 90 in the season opener against Frankfurt last week, racking up five interceptions, three clearances and two tackles, but an illness forced him to sit out against Union. He should return to training next week and have a shot of, at least, making the squad against Leverkusen on Sep. 2.

AUGUST 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Alexander Brunst - Dealing with shoulder injury Brunst has been ruled out of Saturday's match against Union Berlin due to a shoulder injury.

Impact The severity of the injury is unclear, though shoulder issues aren't exactly encouraging for a goalkeeper. Brunst's next chance to feature will come against Leverkusen on Sep. 2, but given he's nothing more than a depth option between the posts, he's not likely to take the field for Darmstadt any time soon.

AUGUST 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Tobias Kempe - Available off bench Kempe (undisclosed) is on the bench for Saturday's game against Union Berlin.

Impact Kempe returned to training recently and missed the season opener due to his lack of match fitness, but he'll be on the bench here and could be in line to make his campaign debut. Kempe made 26 appearances (23 starts) in a successful 2. Liga campaign, contributing to 12 goals, so he should find his way onto the pitch sooner than later.

AUGUST 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Matthias Bader - Back in training Bader (undisclosed) returned to team training on Aug 17 and will be an option for Saturday's clash with Union Berlin.

Impact Bader is in contention for starting right midfielder Saturday after a full week of training with the team. His last appearances in the Bundesliga was in 2019 as he made 85 appearances with Darmsradt in 2. Bundesliga since 2020.

Emir Karic - Picks up knee injury Karic picked up a pulled knee ligament last match against Frankfurt and will be questionable for Saturday's match against Union Berlin. "Emir pulled a knee ligament against Frankfu...

Impact Karic is in heavy doubt after suffering a knee injury in the last match. He played all 90 minutes Sunday during his Bundesliga debut, winning two tackles with a clearance. If he has to sit out Saturday, then Fabian Nurnberger could be an option to start in his place.

Bartol Franjic - Joins Darmstadt on loan Franjic has agreed to a season-long loan to Darmstadt from Wolfsburg, the club announces.

Impact Franjic barely had a role with the team last season, making just five appearances while totaling an assist. He will hope for more playing time with newly promoted Darmstadt for the 2022/23 campaign.

AUGUST 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Luca Pfeiffer - Loaned back to Darmstadt Pfeiffer will spend another season at Darmstadt from Stuttgart on a season-long loan.

Impact Pfeiffer did have the best season with Stuttgart last season, making just six starts in 19 appearances while failing to score a goal on just 12 shots (one on target). He will return to Darmstadt after spending the 2021/22 campaign there, where he totaled 17 goals in 32 appearances in the 2. Bundesliga.

AUGUST 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Tobias Kempe - Yet to train Kempe (undisclosed) has yet to train with the team, according to manager Torsten Lieberknecht.

Impact Kempe isn't in training yet, ruling him out for Saturday's DFB Pokal clash and making him a doubt for the Bundesliga opener against Frankfurt. When fit Kempe figures to be a major part of the starting XI so getting him back as soon as possible and keeping him healthy will likely be a priority for Lieberknecht. Kempe made 26 appearances (23 starts) in a successful 2. Liga campaign, contributing to 12 goals (three goals, nine assists.)

AUGUST 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Matthias Bader - Not yet training Bader (undisclosed) has yet to join team training, according to manager Torsten Lieberknecht.

Impact Bader hasn't made a return to training before Saturday's DFB Pokal clash. While he wasn't ruled out for the Bundesliga opener, an Aug. 20 trip to Frankfurt, no training time this close to the season start isn't a good sign. Bader would need to return to training Monday to truly contend for a substantial role against Frankfurt on Sunday.

AUGUST 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Christoph Klarer - Joins club on long-term deal Klaraer agreed to a move to Darmstadt 98 from Fortuna Dusseldorf on Tuesday.

Impact Klarer logged 30 2. Bundesliga matches for Fortuna last season in which he recorded two goals, one assist and eight yellow cards. Klarer has just 13 top-flight matches in his career but should be in the mix for a spot in the starting XI heading into the 2023-24 campaign with newly promoted Darmstadt.

Fraser Hornby - Joining Die Lilien Hornby completed a move to Darmstadt from Stade Reims, Darmstadt announced Wednesday.

Impact Hornby made the switch to Darmstadt from Stade Reims after spending 2022-23 out on loan with KV Oostende. The forward is part of a major summer spree as Darmstadt overhaul their squad in the Bundesliga. Hornby is still just 23 and might be a more secondary option to Phillip Tietz depending on formation.

Andreas Muller - Pens three-year deal Muller signed a three-year deal with Darmstadt as a free agent after last playing for Magdeburg.

Impact Muller is on the way to Darmstadt as the club enters a total overhaul after being promoted to the Bundesliga. The midfielder will be another option in defensive midfield and at just 23 he has plenty of room to grow. This is Muller's first run in the top flight of Germany so it's possible that his role is minor at first.

JULY 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Fabian Nurnberger - Signs on with Darmstadt Nurnberger signed on with Darmstadt from Nuremburg, Darmstadt announced.

Impact Nurnberger signed with Darmstadt as a free agent following his departure from Nuremburg. The midfielder was productive across four seasons with Nuremburg and now has the chance to establish himself in the top flight. Nurnberger scored seven times and assisted six times during 100 appearances in the 2. Bundesliga.
