On bench against Leverkusen Heintz (back) is in Bochum's match day squad for Wednesday's clash against Bayer Leverkusen.

Impact Heintz is in Bochum's squad for a Bundesliga match Wednesday for the first time since October after recovering from a back issue.

Returns to training Heintz returned to training during the January camp, Bild.de reports.

Remains out of training Heintz (back) has yet to return to training, kicker.de reports.

Won't play Tuesday Heintz (back) will miss Tuesday's match against Borussia Monchengladbach, according to manager Thomas Letsch.

Impact Heintz missed much of September and October and despite a brief return in the Oct. 29 loss to Wolfsburg he's back on the sideline. Ivan Ordets and Vasilios Lampropoulos will continue in defense while Heintz remains out.

Goes 90 on return Heintz had one shot (zero on goal) in Saturday's 4-0 defeat to VfL Wolfsburg.

Impact Heintz made his return to the starting XI and went the full 90 during Saturday's rout. It wasn't a good match for Heintz or Bochum, but it's hard to say the center-back was the issue. He will likely be a rotational option behind Erhan Masovic, and with little-to-no clean sheet upside the Bochum defense isn't overly appealing in any fantasy formats.

Training, primed to start Heintz (COVID-19) has returned to training and is available against Bielefeld, according to manager Urs Fischer.

Impact Heintz has returned to training and tested negative for COVID-19. The defender also is likely to move straight into the starting XI with Robin Knoche suspended. The defender hasn't established any sort of major fantasy value, but he could be a fringe play against the toothless Bielefeld.

Provides little impact in draw Heintz entered the pitch at the 62nd minute for injured teammate Manuel Gulde and provided one interception during the 0-0 draw with Arminia Bielefeld on Saturday.

Impact Heintz could not have had any worse of a season debut than this one in the draw. The defender was brought on in the second half and did very little to help out the back line. However, if Manuel Gulde is to miss extended time, Heintz will be one of the options to take over the vacant spot.
