Impact Vargas is seeing good progression in his recovery program, as he has now trained fully for the past two weeks. This puts him in a spot to return when facing Bayern Munich on Friday. He has started in three of the five matches he has been available for this season and will look to gain the start Friday, although he is more likely to serve off the bench if he is an option.

Kristijan Jakic - Taken off injured Jakic was forced off in the 80th minute of Friday's 1-0 loss to Scotland, according to Croatian Football.

Impact Jakic could be heading for some decent time on the sidelines, with the defender suffering an undisclosed injury Friday. He was stretched off, making many fear the worst. However, he is still yet to undergo scans and have a second opinion released. He has been a regular starter for Augsburg this season, so the club will hope he returns soon, although it appears he should miss at least a little time.

Impact Gumny has finally made his return with the first team after only working with the reserves over the past couple of weeks, as the defender saw the start in Thursday's friendly.

He only started in six of his 13 appearances last campaign and will likely continue in a rotational role moving forward.

Impact Substitutes Adam Hlozek and Haris Tabakovic both got a shot on goal in half an hour, but their shots were all Labrovic needed to stop to get his first clean sheet of the 2024-25 Bundesliga. He will look to log his second right after the international break, though it is unlikely to happen against a powerhouse in Bayern Munich on Nov. 22.
