Out against PSG Halstenberg will miss Tuesday's trip to PSG because of his ankle injury.

Impact At this point, Halstenberg has no set return date, meaning he could return in a week or a month from now. It's unclear when he'll return having been out all season, but there's no reason to expect him in the starting XI before the end of the month.

Ruled out against Bochum Halstenberg (ankle) will be sidelined versus Bochum on Saturday.

Impact Halstenberg has yet to get onto the pitch for the club this season due to his lingering ankle problem. At this point, the defender should be considered out indefinitely until the team provides a more definitive timetable.

Out for UCL match Halstenberg will remain out for Tuesday's match against Brugge because of an ankle injury.

Impact It seems likely Halstenberg will remain out until the international break to allow for an added two weeks to get back his fitness. He's yet to appear this season, but if all goes well in recovery, he'll be an option after the break, though nothing is guaranteed at this point.

Ruled out versus Foln Halstenberg (ankle) will be unavailable against FC Koln on Saturday.

Impact Halstenberg continues to work his way back into match fitness but will be on the shelf for his sixth contest of the year. At this point, the defender will likely have to make an appearance or two off the bench before he would even be in contention to break into the starting XI.

Unavailable Wednesday Halstenberg (ankle) was not included in the match-day squad versus Manchester City on Wednesday.

Impact Halstenberg will be on the shelf for his fifth straight contest to start the season due to his lingering ankle problem. Even once given the all-clear the defender could struggle to replace Angelino as the preferred left-back option for RB Leipzig, though the combination of Bundesliga and UCL matches could provide opportunities for Halstenerg to get onto the pitch.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out against Bayern Halstenberg (ankle) won't be available for Saturday's clash with Bayern Munich.

Impact Halstenberg continues to work his way back from an ankle injury and despite the extra week off due to the international break, remains on the shelf. Once cleared to play, the defender should be in the mix for the starting XI considering he featured in 19 of his 24 Bundesliga appearances last year. At this point, it seems unlikely Halstenberg will be cleared in time to face Manchester City in Wednesday's UCL clash, though he hasn't been officially ruled out yet.

Working individually Halstenberg (ankle) began individual training Thursday.

Impact Halstenberg has yet to get onto the pitch for the club this season as he continues to recover from his ankle problem. Once cleared to play, the defender should be in contention for regular appearances in the starting XI and could provide solid fantasy value given his ability to generate crosses and push the attack.

SEPTEMBER 2, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Still sidelined Sunday Halstenberg (ankle) will remain on the shelf for Sunday's matchup with VfL Wolfsburg.

Impact Halstenberg has yet to make his 2021-22 debut as he continues to work his way back from his ankle problem. Once fully fit, the defender should be in the mix for the starting XI but is far from a lock on a week-to-week basis. Josko Gvardiol or Mohamed Simaken would be the most likely options to make way for Halstenberg.

AUGUST 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Will miss another match Halstenberg (ankle) is to remain sidelined for Friday's match against Stuttgart.

Impact Halstenberg will have been out for most of August by Friday's match and could miss the entire month if something doesn't change soon. When fit, Halstenberg should have plenty of chances to break into the lineup, though nothing is certain until he can regain some of his fitness.

AUGUST 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Saturday Halstenberg (ankle) will be unavailable for the season opener versus Mainz on Sunday.

Impact The fact that the team didn't provide a specific timeline for Halstenberg to get back into the squad could mean the defender is expected to miss multiple weeks. Whenever he is given the all-clear, Halstenberg should be in contention for regular appearances in the starting XI and could provide decent mid-range fantasy value.

AUGUST 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Out with ankle problem Halstenberg will miss Saturday's Pokal clash with SV Sandhausen due to an ankle injury.

Impact It's certainly not a good sign that Halstenberg will be absent from the club's DFB-Pokal clash with its Bundesliga season set to kick off Aug. 15 against FSV Mainz. With Benjamin Henrichs also sidelined Saturday, the RB Leipzig backline could be a little stretched thin.
