Adam Dzwigala - Appears to be fit Dzwigala (knee) looks to be an option for Sunday's match against Leverkusen, according to manager Alexandre Blessin. "Except for Jackson Irvine, all players are fit to play again."
Impact Dzwigala looks to have shaken off any concerns he was dealing with after his early exit last match, as the defender appears to be fit again. This is good news, as he did start in their last outing. However, he has only started in two of his first 14 appearances this season, possibly returning to the bench.

Danel Sinani - Scores in win Sinani scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 2-1 win over Holstein Kiel.
Impact Sinani scored one of the two goals for the team to give them the win over Kiel. This was just his second goal of the season, while also starting the last five games in a row, collecting 34 crosses (11 accurate) and 13 shots (four on target) in that span.

Impact Vasilj saw a goal go by, while making one save against Kiel on Saturday. He's allowed eight goals in the last six appearances, making 12 saves with a clean sheet in that span.

Jackson Irvine - Sidelined for time being Irvine suffers a stress reaction in his left foot after feeling pain following the game against Kiel and is out for the time being, the club announced.
Impact Irvine will be out for the time being due to a foot injury suffered in his last contest against Kiel. This is a blow for the team since the captain has been an undisputed starter when fit. He will likely be replaced by his compatriot Conor Metcalfe in central midfield until he recovers.

Adam Dzwigala - Forced off injured Dzwigala was forced off in the 64th minute of Saturday's 2-1 win over Kiel due to an apparent knee injury.
Impact Dzwigala looks to have suffered an injury Saturday, with the defender exiting the field due to what appeared to be a knee injury. This will be something to monitor, as he is typically their first option off the bench in the defense. That said, Siebe Van der Heyden is likely to return to his starting spot next contest after returning from an injury of his own, so Dzwigala would probably only see a bench spot if he heals by their next match.
APRIL 14 • ROTOWIRE
Siebe Van Der Heyden - Returns to bench Van der Heyden (thigh) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Kiel.
Impact Van der Heyden is back from his one-match absence due to a thigh injury, with the defender fit enough to claim a spot on the bench. However, he is typically a starter, hoping to see that role back next contest after testing his legs.
APRIL 12 • ROTOWIRE
Manolis Saliakas - Five shots and seven cross in draw Saliakas had five shots (one on goal), seven crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Monchengladbach.
Impact Saliakas took five shots, which was his most for the season and attempted seven crosses, which was his second highest amount for the year. So far this season, he has only been able to score one goal and provide one assist and hasn't had a goal involvement in his last seven games.
APRIL 7 • ROTOWIRE

Siebe Van Der Heyden - Out with thigh injury Van der Heyden is out for Sunday's match against Gladbach due to a thigh injury, according to manager Alexandre Blessin. "Seibe has a thigh problem and will be out."
Impact Van der Heyden will be left out Saturday, as the defender is suffering from a thigh injury. This is unfortunate for the club, as he is a regular starter when fit. That said, this will force a change, with a returning Adam Dzwigala (undisclosed) set to return against Gladbach.
APRIL 4 • ROTOWIRE
Adam Dzwigala - Fit again Dzwigala (undisclosed) is fit for Sunday's match against Gladbach, according to manager Alexandre Blessin. "Adam is fit for the game."
Impact Dzwigala is not seeing any repercussions from his early exit last week, as he is already fit and expected to return. This is a good sign for the defender who started in their last outing. He isn't a regular starter and wouldn't be expected to start, but with Siebe Van der Heyden (thigh) out, Dzwigala could see the start in his spot.
APRIL 4 • ROTOWIRE
Morgan Guilavogui - Hopeful for time Sunday Guilavogui (ankle) is an option for Sunday's match against Gladbach and is hoping to see time, according to manager Alexandre Blessin. "He's brimming with energy and really wants t...
Impact Guilavogui is finally in for his return after around two weeks of training, with the attacker set to make the team sheet. However, it doesn't appear he will see any starting time, likely seeing a bench spot and a few minutes near the end of the match to test his legs. He is a regular starter when fit and will look to earn that spot back eventually.

Karol Mets - Undergoes successful knee surgery Mets (knee) underwent successful surgery Thursday, performed by knee specialist Prof. Dr. Karl-Heinz Frosch at the University Hospital of Hamburg (UKE). The procedure will sideline...
Impact Mets initially agreed to conservative treatment for his knee injury before opting for surgery, which will sideline him for several months. This is a significant blow to the team as he is an undisputed starter in the backline when fully fit. David Nemeth will continue as a starter in the backline for now.
APRIL 4 • ROTOWIRE
Lars Ritzka - Scores in loss to Bayern Ritzka scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 3-2 loss to Bayern Munich.
Impact Ritzka is not known for being a goalscorer, but he came through with an impressive goal in the latter stages of the second half with a long-range shot that went past Jonas Urbig. This was Ritzka's first-ever goal in the Bundesliga.
APRIL 1 • ROTOWIRE
David Nemeth - Credited with assist in loss Nemeth recorded an assist and one chance created in Saturday's 3-2 defeat to Bayern Munich.
Impact Nemeth was credited with an assist, although most of the credit of the goal should go to Lars Ritzka, who blasted an unstoppable shot from outside the box past Jonas Urbig. This was Nemeth's first assist of the season, though as a center-back, most of his value will continue to be tied to what he can do on the defensive side of the ball.
APRIL 1 • ROTOWIRE
Nikola Vasilj - Concedes three goals in loss Vasilj made five saves and allowed three goals in Saturday's 3-2 loss to Bayern Munich.
Impact Vasilj wasn't expected to have a lot of upside in this match given the opposition, and while that was the case, it's worth noting the scoreline could've been bigger hadn't it been for a few stops from the Bosnian goalkeeper. Vasilj has allowed two or more goals in four of his last six starts, so he's not going to have a lot of upside in the coming matches, either.

Elias Saad - Scores in loss to Bayern Saad scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-2 defeat versus Bayern Munich.
Impact Saad found himself at the right place and time to score St. Pauli's equalizer midway through the first half, and his tap-in from close range following a cross from Manolis Saliakas made it 1-1. Saad has three goals and two assists on the season, and he's likely to remain in the lineup since he's been in the XI in five of the team's last six matches.
APRIL 1 • ROTOWIRE
Manolis Saliakas - Credited with assist in loss Saliakas assisted once to go with three crosses (two accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 3-2 loss to Bayern Munich.
Impact Saliakas assisted in St. Pauli's first goal with an exquisite low cross that was tapped home by Elias Saad. Saliakas was a constant threat on the right flank due to his forward runs, and he was rewarded by notching his first assist of the campaign. As a wing-back on a defensive-minded team, though, most of Saliakas' upside should continue to come via his defensive work and crossing totals instead of the end product.
APRIL 1 • ROTOWIRE
Adam Dzwigala - Picks up injury Dzwigala was forced off the field in the 60th minute of Saturday's match against Bayern Munich due to an apparent injury.
Impact Dzwigala made it to the hour mark before he had to stop, with an injury effecting the defender enough he had to leave the field. This was his first start of the season, so this a tough blow for the player. He was replaced by Conor Metcalfe, although Hauke Wahl would be a more likely option, as he is typical starter in the defense.
MARCH 29 • ROTOWIRE
Robert Wagner - Returns to bench Wagner (thigh) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Bayern Munich.
Impact Wagner is on the team sheet Saturday after some time out with a thigh injury. He sees a spot on the bench in his return and will hope to see some starting time soon, as he started in five of his eight appearances before his injury, last playing Nov. 9 due to this injury.
