Assists on opening goal Stergiou provided an assist for Stuttgart's first goal Saturday in a 2-0 win over VfL Bochum. He also had three tackles.

Impact Stergiou helped break the deadlock early in the second half, finding Chris Fuhrich to give Stuttgart the lead. He should continue having success Wednesday in Champions League action against a Red Star Belgrade side which struggles to defend.

Unused versus Atalanta Stergiou (back) didn't play in Wednesday's 2-0 loss to Atalanta.

Impact Stergiou returned to the squad after missing all the previous matches due to a back injury but didn't get minutes right away. He'll look to work his way up the ladder in the next few matches. He had gained a regular role late last season after being a rotational piece for most of it.

NOVEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Ready to return Stergiou (back) is available for Wednesday's clash with Atalanta, according to coach Sebastian Hoeness.

Impact Stergiou is back fit once more after overcoming a back issue. The defender is available for Wednesday's Champions League clash, though he will likely be a bench option. With the international break on the horizon, Stergiou probably won't be rushed into major minutes.

NOVEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Out against Leverkusen Stergiou (back) is out for Friday's match against Leverkusen.

Impact Stergiou is still not ready for a return, still having to debut this campaign due to back issues. The defender has no set return date, although he will likely be held out until after the international break.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Saturday Stergiou (back) is out for Saturday's trip to Freiburg, according to manager Sebastian Hoeness.

Impact Stergiou has been struggling with a back injury all pre-season, and is now out for the opener. It's a disappointing turn as the defender could have used his depth with so many other options out defensively. Jeff Chabot could get the start in central defense with Stergiou on the sideline.

Dealing with back issues Sterigou has picked up a back injury, according to his manager Sebastian Hoeness. "Sterigou will not be available at the weekend."

Impact Sterigou will be a close call for the start of the season, as he is dealing with back problems. Luckily for the club, he isn't expected to see starting time, being more of a rotational player, so this won't be a major absence. He will have around a week to recover and make a return before the season starts, with their opening match against Freiburg on Aug. 24.

AUGUST 15 • ROTOWIRE

Appears off bench Stergiou came off the bench during Tuesday's 3-2 loss to Leverkusen in the DFB Pokal.

Impact Stergiou has been limited since joining Stuttgart, though he made his first Bundesliga start last time out against Freiburg. It appears the defender is earning more trust, especially while Hiroki Ito (Asian Cup) has been away from the club. Stergiou will likely remain more of a bench option than anything else in the back half of the season.

Signs with Stuttgart Stergiou signed with Stuttgart from St. Gallen, Stuttgart announced Tuesday.

Impact Stergiou is the replacement for Konstantinos Mavropanos, at least in the long-term. In the short term he could struggle for minutes behind Hiroki Ito, Dan-Axel Zagadou and Pascal Stenzel. Stergiou was a bright spot for St. Gallen and is seen as an extremely promising young defender at center-back or right-back.
