AUGUST 23, 2023 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Completes Premier League move Mavropanos (back) will join West Ham United on a permanent transfer from VfB Stuttgart, signing a five-year deal with the Hammers on Tuesday.

Impact Mavropanos missed the Bundesliga opener and was limited to individual training with Stuttgart but will now look to challenge Kurt Zouma and Nayef Aguerd for a spot in the starting XI. Considering he has been limited to individual training, Mavropanos almost certainly won't be an option versus Brighton on Saturday, though he could be included on the bench due to Aguerd's suspension.

Impact Mavropanos was a major part of the backline and put together a heroic season, making 97 clearances and 51 tackles. The center-back was tasked with leading the defense away from relegation despite major injury and three different coaching changes. In the end Mavropanos did just that and will remain a crucial part of the starting XI moving forward.

Impact Mavropanos returned to team training and could be an option Sunday after missing the last two matches with a leg injury. He's been averaging about 3.5 clearances a game in 26 appearances.

Ruled out against Leverkusen Mavropanos (shin) will be out for Sunday's clash with Leverkusen, Bild.de reports.

Impact Mavropanos picked up a membrane tear in his shin during the DFB Pokal and will now be sidelined for a second straight match.

Helped off in Pokal Mavropanos (undisclosed) was forced off during the first half of Wednesday's DFB Pokal clash with Frankfurt.

Impact Mavropanos was unable to carry on after a challenge left him on the ground. The center-back had to be helped off by the medical staff before Dan-Axel Zagadou was brought on to replace him. If the injury to Mavropanos proves to be serious Zagadou would see consistent starting time in the Bundesliga run-in.

Suspension served Mavropanos served a one-match ban during Friday's one-all draw with Augsburg.

Impact Mavropanos earned a one-match ban after getting sent off during a clash with Dortmund. The defender is now eligible to return and should slot straight back into the starting XI, especially with Hiroki Ito set to serve his own suspension against Gladbach on April 29.

APRIL 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Makes seven interceptions in loss Mavropanos made two tackles (one won), four clearances and seven interceptions during Saturday's 1-0 loss against Wolfsburg.

Impact Mavropanos was once again on the losing side but still found his way to be an imposing presence on defense and fill the stat sheet as he usually does. Over the last three contests, the center-back racked up 16 clearances and 19 interceptions, numbers that no other Bundesliga player has matched during the same stretch.

MARCH 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Returns in cup win Mavropanos (calf) got the start during Tuesday's 2-1 DFB Pokal win over Paderborn.

Impact Mavropanos returned to the starting XI on Tuesday and nearly immediately scored an own-goal. While it is a less than ideal return to the starting XI the defender did well to recover from the mistake. Mavropanos should be fully fit and available moving forward.

JANUARY 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Unavailable against Leipzig Mavropanos (calf) was not included in the match-day squad to face RB Leipzig on Friday.

Impact Mavropanos will miss just his third match of the season, with one of those absences due to yellow-card accumulation. Without the central defender in the squad, Pascal Stenzel is poised to make just his fourth start of the season in the middle of the Stuttgart backline.

Doubtful Friday Mavropanos (head) is a doubt for Friday's clash with Leipzig, manager Bruno Labbadia announced.

Returns from suspension Mavropanos served a one-match ban during a clash with Leverkusen.

DECEMBER 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up fifth yellow card Mavropanos will miss Saturday's match at Bayer Leverkusen after picking up a fifth yellow card in Tuesday's 2-1 win over Hertha Berlin.

Impact Mavropanos conceded yellow cards in his last two games in addition to scoring against Hertha, which makes his absence a little disappointing during a decent run of form. Dan-Axel Zagadou and Hiroki Ito are likely to start at center-back while Mavropanos is out.

NOVEMBER 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Scores rare goal Mavropanos scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Tuesday's 2-1 win against Hertha BSC Berlin.

Impact Mavropanos scored a rare goal during Tuesday's win, already his second of the campaign. While the center defender's goal-scoring upside isn't something to chase for fantasy managers, the leaky Stuttgart midfield have given Mavropanos plenty of fantasy consistency. Mavropanos has made 29 tackles in 13 appearances, all starts.

Featuring against Gladbach Mavropanos (strain) was named to the starting XI versus Monchengladbach on Friday.

Impact Mavropanos had started each of the first 12 matches of the year, in which he recorded one goal on 22 shots (seven on target), one assist and 43 clearances, and returns to the pitch after missing just one contest. Given his limited offensive upside, Mavropanos shouldn't be expected to offer more than mid-range fantasy value.

NOVEMBER 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Option to start Mavropanos (strain) is a candidate for the starting lineup after training all week, according to interim coach Michael Wimmer.

Impact Mavropanos missed Saturday's win over Augsburg but was never expected to be out for long. His return should permit the team to use a back three regardless of Dan-Axel Zagadou's fitness, as Waldemar Anton could move into a central role in support of Mavropanos and Hiroki Ito.

NOVEMBER 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Training individually Mavropanos (strain) trained individually Monday, Stuttgart announced.

Impact Mavropanos was sidelined against Augsburg due to a muscular issue, but is back in individual training. The central defender has a quick turn around on the cards with a Friday trip to Gladbach giving him limited time to return to full fitnesss.

OCTOBER 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out with muscle strain Mavropanos is not in the match day squad to face Augsburg due to a muscular problem.

Impact Mavropanos misses out entirely on Saturday's match after suffering a strain in training. The centerback is a big miss for Stuttgart as he's started all 11 matches helping his side to one clean sheet.

Impact Mavropanos took a blow to the head late in Saturday's 4-1 win over Bochum but appears to have mostly put the injury behind him. With a couple more days in training, he could easily stick in the starting lineup as well whether he plays as a center-back or right-back depending on the formation.
