Ben Voll - Trains with team Voll (jaw) took part in team training Tuesday, Hamburger Abendblatt reports.

Carlo Boukhalfa - Lacking creative threat Boukhalfa had one tackle (one won), one clearance and one interception in Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Bayern Munich.

Impact Boukhalfa did his best to try and provide a creative spark for St. Pauli in their deflating 1-0 loss to Bayern. He created St. Pauli's only chance of the match, but could only manage one pass into the final third and failed to complete his only dribble. Boukhalfa will aim to get St. Pauli's midfield back on track against Gladbach on Sunday, November 24.

Karol Mets - Steady defensive presence Mets recorded one shot (zero on goal) in Saturday's 1-0 defeat against Bayern Munich.

Impact Mets was a key figure in defense for St. Pauli in their 1-0 loss to Bayern, making three clearances and winning two out of his three duels in the game. He was also responsible for one of St. Pauli's three total shots in the game. Mets will aim to keep providing a scoring threat and defensive stability when they take on Gladbach on Sunday, November 24.

Impact Guilavogui attempted to invigorate St. Pauli's lackluster attack in their 1-0 loss by taking two shots, although none were on target. He also managed to make five passes into the final third and completed one of his two dribbles. Guilavogui will look to keep refining his creativity and scoring prowess against Gladbach on Sunday, November 24.

Nikola Vasilj - Resilient between the posts Vasilj made five saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-0 loss versus Bayern Munich.

Impact Vasilj faced a tough match against Bayern, conceding one goal but making five saves. Vasilj needed an almost perfect performance to keep a clean sheet today, as St. Pauli let Bayern have 75 percent of possession in the match. However, even while conceding a goal in today's match, Vasilj's 76 percent save percentage is good for fourth best among Bundesliga goalies, and he will hope to improve that mark as St. Pauli take on Gladbach on Sunday, November 24.

NOVEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Philipp Treu - Suffers thigh injury Treu is out for the time being due to a muscle injury in his thigh, according to his club.

Impact Treu will be held out until at least after the November international break, with the defender having gone down with a muscle issue in Saturday's win. This will force a change, as he has been a regular starter, with Lars Ritzka as his likely replacement.

Impact Treu was substituted off just after halftime of Saturday's match, coming off the field with an apparent injury. Not much more is known about his status, although this could be a significant loss, as he has yet to miss a start this season. That said, the club will hope it was just some fatigue setting in, with Lars Ritzka being his replacement Saturday.

Scott Banks - Picks up ankle issues Banks has picked up an ankle injury and is out for Saturday's match against Hoffenheim, according to manager Alexander Blessin. "There's an unexpected setback as fat as Scott is co...

Impact Banks will sit out the club's next two matches and will remain out until after the international break, as the forward is set for a break following an ankle issue. Luckily for the club, this is a minor loss, as he has only appeared off the bench five times this season for a total of 51 minutes of play.

Impact Saad is set for a solid spell on the sidelines, expected to miss out until at least December due to his ankle issues. However, he could miss out longer, with this being the best-case scenario. He was seeing decent time this season, so this is an unfortunate loss, with Morgan Guilavogui likely to continue seeing more time due to Saad's absence.
