Question mark Saturday Akpoguma (undisclosed) is uncertain for Saturday's clash with Dortmund, according to manager Sebastian Hoeness.

Saves performance with assist Akpoguma assisted once, created one chance and sent two crosses (none on target) during the 3-1 win over Augsburg on Saturday.

Impact Akpoguma made his entrance early on after teammate Pavel Kaderabek went down with a minor tweak. Akpoguma though did very little in his big chance. The wingback only had two crosses and his shining moment was setting up a brilliant goal by teammate Ihlas Bebou. Akpoguma will remain a longshot option at best until he can consistently crack the starting XI.

Uncertain Saturday Akpoguma (undisclosed) is uncertain for Saturday's clash with Gladbach, according to manager Sebastian Hoeness.

Impact Akpoguma could play Saturday, but it's a doubt currently. The wing-back is a usable fantasy option though it's not clear who would move to replace him in the event of a long-term absence. Look for Akpoguma to return on the other side of the winter break if he can't go Saturday.
