Starts final nine matches Tapsoba started the final nine matches of the season, totaling 22 appearances and 19 starts in the Bundesliga.

Impact Tapsoba once again held onto a role starting in central defense for Leverkusen.

Tapsoba will be right back in the center of the defense for Leverkusen, lining up alongside Jonathan Tah at center-back.

Returns to Leverkusen Tapsoba is back in Leverkusen and in training, the club announced Thursday.

Impact Tapsoba is back in Leverkusen having returned from a strong campaign in AFCON with Burkina Faso. The defender may be called upon off the bench immediately, or even in the starting XI. Tapsoba has limited fantasy value due to his role in the team.

Away at AFCON Tapsoba is away at AFCON with Burkina Faso, and will miss January's Bundesliga matches.

Impact Tapsoba is set to miss all of January's matches as he travels to compete in AFCON with his national team. The defender wasn't a mainstay in the starting XI and isn't a major fantasy option. Tapsoba's absence will leave Leverkusen with a lack of depth at the back though, and an injury could necessitate a change in formation.

Impact While it's certainly a step in the right direction, Tapsoba is still expected to be out of action until October at the earliest. Last season, the defender started 29 of 31 appearances for the club and should garner regular minutes in the starting XI once given the green light to play.

Out until October Tapsoba will be out until October with an ankle injury that requires surgery, reports Bulinews.

Impact It's a blow for Leverkusen's back line, as Tapsoba's injury news seems to be getting worse by the week.

Will miss start of season Tapsoba will miss the start of the Bundesliga season due to a syndesmosis tear, his club announced Tuesday.

Impact Tapsoba made 29 starts from 31 appearances last season but won't be able to play due to an injury that can take up to two months to recover from. As a result, a new option will have to start at center-back when August signals the start of the Bundesliga campaign.

Picks up fifth yellow Tapsoba will be suspended against Dortmund on Saturday after picking up his fifth yellow card.

Impact Tapsoba started 29 of 31 appearances this season in which he generated one goal on 16 shots (five on target), 89 clearances and 54 tackles. The central defender won't offer much in the way of offensive contributions heading into next season and will only provide fantasy value in formats that value defensive stats.
