Impact Maolida will miss his second game with a muscle problem on Friday while Chidera Ejuke gets another start on the left wing.

AUGUST 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Marco Richter - On bench against Gladbach Richter (illness) is in Hertha's match day squad for Friday's clash against Borussia Monchengladbach.

Impact Richter is available to make his season debut Friday after having an operation in July to remove a tumor. He made 19 Bundesliga starts on the right wing last season and he'll want to push Dodi Lukebakio for the position this campaign in Berlin.

Linus Jasper Gechter - Out with illness Gechter will miss Friday's clash against Borussia Monchengladbach due to illness, Hertha announced Wednesday.

Impact Gechter will not be available for selection against Gladbach on Friday as he recovers from illness. He is yet to feature for Hertha this season as he was an unused substitute in the Bundesliga opener and then wasn't in the match day squad against Eintracht last weekend.

Jessic Ngankam - Out against Gladbach Ngankam (knee) will miss Friday's clash against Borussia Monchengladbach, Hertha announced Wednesday.

Impact Ngankam has been sidelined since July with a knee injury and he remains out for Friday's game. Last season on-loan for Greuther Furth an ACL tear kept him out until April, but once he returned he tallied two goals and an assist while starting in the final four matches of the campaign. He will hope to recreate that level of productivity upon his return to fitness, though he will also hope that this knee issue isn't as serious as that one.

Myziane Maolida - Out with muscle problem Maolida missed Saturday's draw against Eintracht Frankfurt due to a muscular issue, Hertha announced before the game.

Impact Maolida will have just under a week to try and recover before Friday's clash against Monchengladbach. Chidera Ejuke replaced him on the left wing versus Eintracht.

AUGUST 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Marvin Plattenhardt - Out against Eintracht Plattenhardt missed Saturday's draw against Eintracht Frankfurt due to a muscular injury, Hertha announced before the game.

Impact Maximilian Mittelstadt replaced Plattenhardt at left-back on Saturday. Plattenhardt will try to recover by Friday's clash against Monchengladbach.

AUGUST 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Filip Uremovic - Makes seven clearances in draw Uremovic made seven clearances and three interceptions during Saturday's 1-1 draw against Eintracht Frankfurt.

Impact Uremovic had some nice numbers here but will be mostly remembered by his giveaway that resulted in the goal that drew things level for the opposition. If we talk just about fantasy impact, the center-back proved in his first two Bundesliga matches that he can be a reliable source of numbers at his position.

AUGUST 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Maximilian Mittelstadt - Fills stat sheet in draw Mittelstadt created two chances, sent in six crosses (two accurate), made six tackles (four won), two clearances and four interceptions and was shown a yellow card during Saturday'...

Impact Mittelstadt made his season debut after missing last week's opener and replaced captain Marvin Plattenhardt at left-back. And he more than fulfilled the expectations at both ends of the pitch, pacing his side in crosses, tackles and interceptions. If Plattenhardt can't recover for Friday's visit to Borussia Monchengladbach, Mittelstadt will have one more chance to prove he deserves regular first-team minutes moving forward.

AUGUST 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Oliver Christensen - Concedes one in draw Christensen made zero saves and conceded one goal during Saturday's 1-1 draw against Eintracht Frankfurt.

Impact Christensen didn't have to work at all during the first half but then things changed right after halftime as the goalkeeper saw Daichi Kamada appearing completely unmarked in front of him to draw things level at 1-1 in the 48th minute. Despite not being at fault for the goal, he had his fantasy stat line hurt by his lack of saves. Up next for Christensen is Friday's visit to Borussia Monchengladbach.

AUGUST 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Dodi Lukebakio - Provides assist in draw Lukebakio made an assist, had three shots (two on target), created three chances and suffered two fouls during Saturday's 1-1 draw against Eintracht Frankfurt.

Impact Lukebakio had another great performance here, assisting Suat Serdar's opener with a pinpoint in the third minute and being involved in many other dangerous plays during the rest of the way. The winger was already coming off scoring on the season opener and will try to keep appearing on the scoresheet during Friday's visit to Borussia Monchengladbach.

AUGUST 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Suat Serdar - Scores in draw Serdar scored a goal off three shots (two on target), created one chance, made two interceptions and was shown a yellow card during Saturday's 1-1 draw against Eintracht Frankfurt.

Impact Serdar bounced back from the poor performance on the season opener as he opened the scoring for his side with a powerful header off a cross from the right with just three minutes into the game and then was a solid presence in the middle of the park for the rest of the way. Serdar was one of the main pieces for a Hertha team that escaped relegation in the past season and will certainly be heavily relied on during this campaign.

AUGUST 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Lukas Klunter - Remains out to start season Klunter is not in the match day squad to face Frankfurt on Saturday.

Impact Klunter remains out with an undisclosed injury that has kept him out the beginning of the year. The midfielder's next chance to play will come next Friday against Gladbach.

AUGUST 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Marco Richter - Remains out Richter is not in the squad to face Frankfurt on Saturday.

Impact Richter remains out after getting a tumor removed in July. The midfielder has returned to training, but no firm timeline on a return to matches is yet known.

AUGUST 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Jessic Ngankam - Not ready for Saturday Ngankam (knee) is out for Saturday's match against Frankfurt, according to the Hertha injury report.

Impact Ngankam picked up a knee injury in pre-season and is yet to return from it. The forward will hope to make his way back to training ahead of a Friday trip to Gladbach, though the short turn around could make a comeback there less likely.

AUGUST 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Dong-jun Lee - Out once more Lee (knee) is out for Saturday's clash with Frankfurt, per the Hertha injury report.

Impact Lee is set to miss Saturday's clash with Frankfurt due to a knee injury. The forward isn't a major piece of the starting XI even when healthy having made just four Bundesliga appearances in the 2021/22 campaign.

AUGUST 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Omar Alderete - Out against Frankfurt Alderete (thigh) is out for Saturday's clash with Frankfurt, according to Hertha.

Impact Alderete is out once more as he continues to deal with a thigh injury. The future for the center-back is uncertain as he has been shipped out on loan multiple times. Alderete will hope to return to training ahead of a Friday trip to Gladbach.

AUGUST 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Filip Uremovic - Starts opener Uremovic started and played the full 90 during Saturday's season opener, a 3-1 loss to Union Berlin.

Impact Uremovic joined Hertha from Rubin Kazan after playing on loan with Sheffield United in the 2021/22 campaign. The defender looked a more than competent partner for Marc-Oliver Kempf though Dedrick Boyata will be lurking once more as a depth option and potential starter if Uremovic struggles.

AUGUST 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Marvin Plattenhardt - Eleven crosses in loss Plattenhardt sent in 11 crosses (one accurate) during Saturday's 3-1 loss to Union Berlin.

Impact Plattenhardt led the way on set-pieces once more as he looks to have continued his long-term set-piece role from the 2021/22 campaign. The left-back should be a nailed-on starter with an immense fantasy floor making him a strong option in all formats.

AUGUST 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Marc Kempf - Goes full 90 Kempf played 90 minutes and made one block and interception during Saturday's 3-1 loss to Union Berlin.

Impact Kempf was a constant in the starting XI after joining Hertha during the January transfer window and looks set to be a nailed-on starter once more in the 2022/23 campaign, lining up alongside Filip Uremovic in the opener. Kempf should be a strong candidate to go a full 90 every week while healthy.

AUGUST 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Jean-Paul Boetius - Heads to Hertha Boetius joined Hertha Berlin from Mainz on Monday. He's committed to a three-year contract with the capitol club.

Impact Boetius started just 19 times last season for Mainz and will now look to reinforce the midfield for his new side. While capable of marginal attacking production, Boetius is unlikely to be a top option in fantasy even if he gets back to starting every week.

AUGUST 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Rune Jarstein - On bench against Union Jarstein made the bench for Saturday's 3-1 loss to Union Berlin.

Impact Once the full-time starter, Jarstein hasn't played in a Bundesliga game since the 2020/21 campaign and most recently Oliver Christensen has taken on that gig.

AUGUST 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Oliver Christensen - Heroic despite loss Christensen made five saves and two clearances in Saturday's 3-1 loss versus Union Berlin.

Impact Christensen showed just why Hertha Berlin put their full faith in him for the 2022/23 campaign. The keeper was absolutely heroic stopping five of the eight shots he faced, though that somehow proved to not be enough for the win. Christensen will likely face high volume all season and his talent could be enough to cash in on that as a fantasy opportunity, though clean sheets will be nearly impossible to come by behind this defense.

AUGUST 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Stevan Jovetic - Assists off bench Jovetic assisted once to go with zero corners in Saturday's 3-1 defeat against Union Berlin.

Impact Jovetic came off the bench and provided one assist during Saturday's loss. The forward struggled with injuries in the 2021/22 campaign and has likely fallen out of the starting XI in the 2022/23 team. That said he should have some value off the bench and if there are injuries ahead of him in the starting XI Jovetic would be a more than competent replacement.
