Doubtful Sunday Lacroix (knock) is a doubt for Sunday's clash with Munich, according to manager Ralph Hasenhuttl.

Impact Lacroix is in doubt for Sunday's match with Munich due to a knock. The defender has been linked with a move away from the club, so it's unclear if he will play even if deemed fit.

MARCH 18 • ROTOWIRE

Nets rare goal Lacroix scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Eintracht Frankfurt.

Impact Lacroix popped up with a rare goal from central defense, getting forward and making the most of his only shot. The center-back isn't any sort of consistent offensive option, and isn't worth chasing for offensive outbursts like this. Still Lacroix is a solid defensive option and this goal upside is a nice boon.

FEBRUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Trains Thursday Lacroix (groin) was able to train for the first time Thursday ahead of Saturday's trip to Union Berlin, according to manager Niko Kovac.

Impact Lacroix missed last match with a groin injury and is looking to make a return Saturday . A two match ban and injuries has limited the defender's time on the pitch since the start of the new year, totaling just two appearances in 2024, starting once in that span. If he is able to recover in time, Lacroix is expected to start at center back alongside Moritz Jens for the clash against Union Berlin.

FEBRUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Set for return Lacroix is available to return from a two-match ban for Saturday's trip to Heidenheim.

Impact Lacroix suffered a serious shoulder injury that ended his 2022-23 season, and has cost him the opening stages of the 2023-24 pre-season. The defender still has plenty of time to return before the Bundesliga begins, and is expected to make a full recovery in the coming weeks.

Summer training in doubt Lacroix (shoulder) is a doubt to be active during Summer training camp, Waz.de reports.

Impact Lacroix's season was already over after undergoing a shoulder surgery and now it appears the start of his 2023/24 campaign could be in doubt as well. The defender is also expected to miss some part of pre-season training camps, which would be an indicator he isn't ready for the start of the new season.

MAY 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Set for shoulder surgery Lacroix will undergo surgery on his shoulder that will miss the rest of the season.

Impact Lacroix is set for a long road to recovery after sustaining a serious shoulder injury against Mainz Sunday that will require season-ending surgery. He will end the year with 18 starts on 24 appearances, totaling a goal with 82 clearances and 22 tackles (13 won). Sebastiaan Bornauw and Josuha Guilavogui are expected to play at center back alongside Micky van de Ven for the remainder of the campaign.

On bench against Union Berlin Lacroix (knee) is in Wolfsburg's match day squad for Sunday's clash against Union Berlin.

Suffers knee sprain Lacroix was forced off in the second half of Sunday's 2-2 draw with Frankfurt due to a knee sprain.

Unused in final four matches Lacroix made nine starts in the first 10 matches before going unused in the final four matches before the Winter break.

Impact Lacroix has fallen out of favor entirely, becoming a purely bench option in the final four matches. Lacroix had rumors swirling around him at the Summer transfer deadline, and could be on the move during the Winter transfer window. Micky van de Ven has taken on a starting role and excelled, making Lacroix less of a requirement.

NOVEMBER 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Makes seven clearances in draw Lacroix made three tackles (all won), seven clearances, two interceptions and one block during Saturday's 1-1 draw against Augsburg.

Impact Lacroix was a key presence at the heart of the defense, leading his side in three stat categories with season highs in both tackles and clearances. His strong play was definitely one of the biggest reasons why Wolfsburg could escape with at least one point despite being under pressure during most of the second half. Lacroix is one of Bundesliga's most productive center-backs for fantasy purposes but will need more help from his defensive partners to achieve more collective success.
