Marc Kempf - Moves to Hertha Berlin Kempf completed a transfer to Hertha Berlin from Stuttgart, the clubs announced.

Impact Kempf figures to be a starting option nearly immediately in Berlin. The defender is a stout center-back and a consistent performer on the pitch. That said he is a limited fantasy option that is not worth considering in most formats.

Davie Selke - Returns from COVID-19 Selke (illness) is in training Monday returning from COVID-19, Hertha announced.

Impact Selke has returned from his bout of COVID-19 after recovering over the international break. The forward is set to return and is making a full return to training. Depending on his fitness it's unclear whether he will make a return to the pitch Friday against Bochum. Likely, Selke finds himself on the bench.

Dedryck Boyata - Out with ankle Boyata (ankle) is out for Monday's training, according to Hertha Berlin.

Impact Boyata is missing out on Monday's training with an ankle ligaments issue. That could be a very serious injury though Hertha didn't give a time frame on his return. Boyata's long-term absence could cause a struggle for depth in the Hertha back-line, though new man Marc-Oliver Kempf could see immediate action.

Vladimir Darida - Misses training with ankle Darida missed Monday training with an ankle injury, Hertha announced.

Impact Darida is missing training on the first day after the international break. It's unclear if he's just missing for precautionary reasons or is actually dealing with a new injury. Darida will hope to make a return to training before Friday's clash with Bochum.

Alexander Schwolow - Fourteen saves in loss Schwolow made 14 saves during Sunday's 4-1 loss to Bayern.

Impact Schwolow faced an otherworldly 18 shots Sunday, and managed to stop 14, but still ended with an ugly defeat. It could have been much, much worse, if he hadn't played so admirably though. He will look to recover and bounce back after the international break.

Dedryck Boyata - Busy defensively Boyata made four interceptions and five clearances during Sunday's 4-1 loss to Bayern.

Impact Boyata had plenty to do against the terrifying Bayern attack, and did well throughout the match. The center-back is a limited fantasy option and isn't worth considering in most matches. That isn't likely to change while he remains at center-back.

Jurgen Ekkelenkamp - Nets off bench Ekkelenkamp scored once on one shot during Sunday' 4-1 loss to Bayern.

Impact Ekkelenkamp scored his third goal of the season in his 15th appearance (four starts). The midfielder isn't much of a fantasy option but he has been consistently getting onto the pitch every match. He will remain off fantasy radars after the international break.

Davie Selke - Out with COVID-19 Selke will miss Sunday's clash against Bayern Munich after testing positive for COVID-19, Hertha announced before the game.

Impact Selkie has started just five Bundesliga games for Hertha this season, and he will not be involved on Sunday as he isolates. He will hope to be healthy again by the end of the international break.

JANUARY 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Stevan Jovetic - Chance to return Jovetic (calf) has a chance to return Sunday, according to manager Tayfun Korkut.

Impact Jovetic has a chance to return, though Hertha don't want to rush him back, especially in what will be a tough match against Bayern Munich. The forward was in strong form before succumbing to the injury bug going around Hertha Berlin. If he can't play look for Ishak Belfodil to start once more.

JANUARY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Deyovaisio Zeefuik - Returns to training Zeefuik has made a return to training following a bout of COVID-19.

Impact Zeefuik isn't much of a real or fantasy option and his return to the squad won't change much. He is a nice depth option but not one worth using in any fantasy format.

Jordan Torunarigha - Picks up ankle injury Torunarigha picked up an ankle injury in warm ups ahead of Wednesday's DFB Pokal loss to Union Berlin.

Impact Torunarigha picked up an ankle injury after being stepped on in warm-ups before Wednesday's cup loss. The defender isn't a massive fantasy option but this puts him heavily in doubt for Sunday's clash with Bayern. With Niklas Stark also injured it's possible that Hertha could be forced into a defensive realignment.

JANUARY 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Niklas Stark - Picks up injury in Cup game Stark picked up an ankle injury during Wednesday's DFB Pokal loss to Union Berlin.

Impact Stark picked up the ankle injury and is in doubt for Sunday's clash with Bayern. If there were any match for a defender to miss perhaps it's good to miss the match against the indomitable Bayern Munich. Stark will want to play and is a central part of the defense, but it's entirely possible he is rested before the international break.

Marco Richter - Takes four shots against Wolfsburg Richter took four shots (one on target) and made a clearance in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Wolfsburg. He also won two of three tackles in the match.

Impact Richter was dangerous going forward and he chipped in defensively as well in Saturday's stalemate, but he will need to be much more clinical in front of goal if Hertha are to get a result next weekend against Bayern Munich.

JANUARY 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Vladimir Darida - Creates chance in draw Darida created a chance and won two of three tackles in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Wolfsburg. He also made three clearances and four interceptions in the match.

Impact Darida defended well from midfield Saturday as his side held Wolfsburg to a scoreless draw. He will need to have a similarly solid performance next weekend against Bayern Munich, which are once again the runaway leaders of the Bundesliga.

JANUARY 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Santiago Ascacibar - Takes shot in draw Ascacibar took a shot and won two of two tackles in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Wolfsburg. He also made two clearances and two interceptions in the match.

Impact Ascacibar was solid on both sides of the ball as his side settled for a draw with Wolfsburg on Saturday. He will likely have a much tougher time next weekend against Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich, which are averaging 3.2 goals per game this season.

JANUARY 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Alexander Schwolow - Keeps clean sheet against Wolfsburg Schwolow made three saves and kept a clean sheet in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Wolfsburg.

Impact Schwolow kept his third clean sheet of the season Saturday as his side kept a desperate Wolfsburg out of the net. He will likely have a tougher time next weekend against Bayern Munich, which have scored a Bundesliga-high 61 goals in 19 matches (3.2 per game).

Alexander Schwolow - Five saves in loss Schwolow made five saves during Sunday's 3-1 loss to Koln.

Impact Schwolow was actually excellent despite conceding three times during Sunday's loss. The keeper is a solid fantasy play and has been one of the strongest keepers available in the Bundesliga. Next up is a very favorable clash with Wolfsburg

JANUARY 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Maximilian Mittelstadt - Busy in loss Mittelstadt sent in eight crosses, created three chances and made four tackles during Sunday's 3-1 loss to Koln.

Impact Mittelstadt is a strong fantasy play and a consistent producer all over the pitch. Attacking midfield, left-back, striker, it doesn't matter for Mittelstadt. The do-it-all star will be a top play Saturday against a Wolfsburg side who lost to Bochum last time out.

JANUARY 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Marco Richter - Nine crosses in loss Richter sent in nine crosses (three accurate) during Sunday's 3-1 loss to Koln.

Impact Richter got forward well and was adventurous getting forward but was unable to produce much. The midfielder is a solid fantasy play when starting with some strong upside. He will be a top play next time out against a very poor Wolfsburg side.

JANUARY 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Vladimir Darida - Scores in loss Darida scored once on one shot during Sunday's 3-1 loss to Koln.

Impact Darida scored his first goal of the season in his 12th appearance (11 starts). The midfielder is a consistent starter but his defensive role in midfield limits his fantasy upside. Next up is a Saturday trip to a scuffling Wolfsburg, a great chance to keep his good form going.

JANUARY 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Marvin Plattenhardt - On bench Sunday Plattenhardt is in the match day squad to face Koln on Sunday.

Impact Plattenhardt was a doubt in the buildup to the match after missing training with a non-COVID-19 illness. The defender starts from the bench but is available if called upon Sunday.
