Gernot Trauner - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Starting Thursday Trauner (thigh) is in the starting XI for Thursday's match against Leverkusen.

Impact Trauner was playing with the second team earlier this month so his return to the team sheet Thursday was expected. However, a spot in the starting XI exceeded expectations. He is a solid player who started in three of his four UCL appearances last campaign and will most likely continue in the starting XI in most matches moving forward.

Available for selection Trauner (knee) is in the traveling squad for Tuesday's trip to Lazio.

Impact Trauner returned to the traveling squad after missing the reverse fixture last time out. The defender has been a consistent piece of the starting XI at center-back and should return directly to the first team. Bart Nieuwkoop could fall out of the starting XI with Trauner fit and available once more.

Not available Trauner (knee) is out for Wednesday's clash with Lazio, manager Arne Slot announced.

Impact Trauner is not quite ready to return, leaving a major gap in the backline. Bart Nieuwkoop came on to replace Trauner and could be the option at right center-back to replace the captain. Trauner should be ready to go for a Nov. 7 trip to Lazio in the reverse fixture if all goes well for his recovery.
