Kevin-Prince Boateng - Ruled out Sunday Boateng (undisclosed) will not be an option for Sunday's trip to Bayern Munich.

Impact Boateng has been dealing with an undisclosed injury and is set to miss Sunday's match. He's started in three of the last five games, totaling only five tackles (four won) in that span. Overall, the midfielder has not been a consistent starter this season, featuring in the lineup four times in 15 appearances this campaign.

Marton Dardai - Season likely over Dardai (groin) suffered a serious adductor injury and is likely done for the season, bild.de reports.

Impact Dardai came off during Saturday's 4-2 loss to Werder Bremen holding his groin, and it's now believed to be a season-ending muscle tear. If it does end Dardai's season he would end on 14 appearances, a new career-high, and eight starts, scoring his first Bundesliga goal. The center-back opened the season on the bench but had actually started five of his last six before suffering the injury, a disappointing end as he finally started to earn starting minutes.

Marc Kempf - Picks up fifth yellow Kempf was handed a fifth yellow card during Saturday's 4-2 loss to Werder Bremen and is set for a one-match ban.

Impact Kempf picked up the one-match ban for yellow card accumulation and will miss a Sunday trip to Munich. The defender will likely be replace by Filip Uremovic, who is making his own return from suspension.

APRIL 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Filip Uremovic - Suspension served Uremovic served a one-match ban due to yellow card accumulation and is now eligible to return.

Impact Uremovic picked up a fifth yellow card during a 5-2 loss to Schalke and was suspended for a 4-2 loss to Werder Bremen. The defender has been a nailed-on starter in the center of the defense and should return to that role immediately after his suspension.

APRIL 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Suat Serdar - Assist as substitute Serdar assisted once to go with zero corners and two chances created in Saturday's 4-2 loss against Werder Bremen.

Impact Now, Serdar has multiple assists across the 2022-23 Bundesliga. Ideally for him, his latest contribution will help him regain favorability after serving as a substitute since the start of April.

APRIL 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jessic Ngankam - Starts, scores goal Ngankam scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 4-2 loss against Werder Bremen.

Impact Ngankam was added to Hertha BSC Berlin's starting XI on Saturday. He rewarded the opportunity by scoring his second goal of April and fourth since FIFA's 2022 World Cup.

APRIL 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dodi Lukebakio - Scores goal Lukebakio scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal), five crosses (three accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 4-2 loss to Werder Bremen.

Impact Lukebakio has his first goal since March 5. Scoring against Werder Bremen helped him end a slightly worrying goal drought that lasted five appearances from March 11 to April 14.

APRIL 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Oliver Christensen - Concedes four goals Christensen conceded four goals in Saturday's 4-2 defeat versus Werder Bremen.

Impact Marvin Ducksch logged a hat-trick, and Mitchell Weiser recorded an additional goal. Christensen will try to redeem himself during Hertha BSC Berlin's next game. But unfortunately for the goalkeeper, it is currently scheduled at Bayern Munich next Sunday.

Marco Richter - Scores with lone shot Richter scored a goal with his lone shot while crossing nine times inaccurately during Friday's 5-2 loss to Schalke.

Impact Richter found the back of the net in the 84th minute scoring a late consolation goal for Hertha. The goal was the fifth in 24 appearances for the midfielder, the second most on the club as he's also second in crosses and shots while being tied for the team-lead with three assists.

Oliver Christensen - Concedes five to Schalke Christensen allowed five goals while making a save during Friday's 5-2 loss to Schalke.

Impact Christensen conceded two goals in the first half and three in the second as Hertha dropped all three points on Friday. The keeper has now allowed 55 goals in 28 league starts while his lone save upped his season total to 73.

APRIL 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Stevan Jovetic - Scores third goal of season Jovetic scored a goal while taking four shots (two on goal), crossing twice inaccurately and creating two chances during Friday's 5-2 loss to Schalke.

Impact Jovetic found the back of the net in first half stoppage time to score Hertha's first goal. The goal was the third in 14 appearances, with Friday's match being the forward's fifth start of the Bundesliga campaign.

APRIL 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Filip Uremovic - Suspended for next match Uremovic was shown his fifth yellow card during Friday's 5-2 loss to Schalke.

Impact Uremovic will miss next week's match with Werder Bremen through suspension with Agustin Rogel a likely candidate to take his spot in Hertha's back three.

APRIL 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jean-Paul Boetius - Shelved again Friday Boetius (shoulder) will not return versus Schalke on Friday.

Impact Boetius will be unavailable for his fifth consecutive contest due to his lingering shoulder problem. Prior to getting hurt, the midfielder made four straight appearances off the bench and will likely continue to serve primarily as a substitute option moving forward.

APRIL 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Chidera Ejuke - Still sidelined Friday Ejuke (knee) was left out of the match-day squad against Schalke on Friday.

Impact Ejuke has been out of action since Nov. 12 against Koln and appears no closer to getting back onto the pitch. As such, the forward should probably be considered out indefinitely until he can get back on the training pitch.

Stevan Jovetic - Takes shot off bench Jovetic (calf) subbed into Saturday's clash against RB Leipzig in the 74th minute, taking a shot in the 1-0 defeat.

Impact Jovetic returned from a minor calf injury on Saturday, and he's now taken four shots with one goal across five Bundesliga appearances off the bench since recovering from a longer term muscular injury he suffered in January.

APRIL 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Oliver Christensen - Five saves in loss Christensen had five saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-0 loss to RB Leipzig.

Impact Christensen once again was let down by the team in front of him. In his last three matches Christensen has made 16 saves and conceded five goals, and come away with just a single point. The young goalkeeper is clearly talented, but has been left completely out to dry by the team surrounding him of late.

APRIL 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Filip Uremovic - Consistent minutes continue Uremovic registered one shot (zero on goal) in Saturday's 1-0 defeat to RB Leipzig. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 45th minute.

Impact Uremovic cared out a starting role coming back from the World Cup break and is showing no signs of slowing down. The defender has been a near-guarantee in the starting XI of late, and consistently adds volume behind the ball. Uremovic has started 10 matches in a row and seems a nailed-on starter for the end of the campaign.

APRIL 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Marc Kempf - Five clearances in loss Kempf generated one shot (zero on goal) and made five clearances in Saturday's 1-0 loss against RB Leipzig.

Impact Kempf added five clearances, a stat he has piled on throughout the season. The defender has been behind major defensive volume throughout, and through 26 appearances has piled on 112 clearances, 43 interceptions, and 31 blocks. Kempf remains a defense-first center-back going forward.

APRIL 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Marton Dardai - Busy defensively Dardai generated two tackles (zero won) and two clearances in Saturday's 1-0 loss versus RB Leipzig.

Impact Dardai had plenty to do behind the ball during Saturday's loss, and he did well for the most part. The defender was unable to keep the clean sheet, but did well to pile on a floor with defensive volume. Dardai has earned a more consistent starting role of late with Agustin Rogel falling out of the starting XI to some extent.

APRIL 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Marvin Plattenhardt - Heavy volume in loss Plattenhardt had one shot (zero on goal), 10 crosses (four accurate) and four corners in Saturday's 1-0 loss versus RB Leipzig.

Impact Plattenhardt sent in 10 crosses during the loss, bombing forward for major volume throughout the match. The defender is a strong option to get forward, even against the toughest of opponents. Plattenhardt's only down side has been that he has struggled to produce end product, with only two assists in 24 appearances.

APRIL 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Chidera Ejuke - Ruled out Ejuke (knee) is out for Saturday's clash with Leipzig, Hertha announced Thursday.

Impact Ejuke is ruled out as he continues his rehab from a long-term knee injury. The forward began training outside on the grass earlier in the week and is progressing through his recovery. Still Ejuke will need to make some sort of return to team training before any sort of first team action is possible.

APRIL 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Stevan Jovetic - Return possible Saturday Jovetic (calf) could return for Saturday's clash with Leipzig, Hertha announced.

Impact Jovetic trained throughout the week and wasn't ruled out Thursday. There's still a chance the forward isn't fit enough to play Saturday, though he appears to be trending in the right direction. Dodi Lukebakio and Wilfried Kanga could remain atop the depth chart even with Jovetic available once more.
