Impact Meunier has assists in back-to-back games after missing the opening two matches of the domestic season. The defender should be a mainstay in the right-back role for the club heading into the rest of the 2021-22 campaign and figures to be a top-half fantasy target.

Assists with lone chance created Meunier had an assist with his lone chance created while crossing three times (one accurate) during Saturday's 4-3 win over Bayer Leverkusen.

Starting against Leverkusen Meunier (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Leverkusen.

Impact Meunier picked up an issue over the break, but it clearly wasn't major as he's in the starting XI Saturday. Playing time may be a concern, but he's starting, so he's in play for a full 90 in a tough spot against Leverkusen.

Questionable versus Leverkusen Meunier (undisclosed) is in doubt for Saturday's meeting with Bayer Leverkusen. Manager Marco Rose told reporters, "Thomas Meunier came back a bit battered, and is questionable."

Impact Meunier has already missed the first two matches of the season after testing positive for COVID-19 and now is facing another stint on the sidelines. If Meunier does miss out, it would likely mean another appearance in the starting XI at right-back for Felix Passlack.

Logs full 90 minutes Meunier played the full 90 minutes in his first game back versus Hoffenheim on Friday. In addition, he registered one cross (accurate), one tackle (won) and one clearance.

Impact Meunier isn't exactly an offensive powerhouse, with the bulk of the attacking coming from the left side thanks to Raphael Guerreiro. As such, Meunier is likely limited to mid-range fantasy value, though he could be a decent low-cost target in certain formats.

Starting Friday Meunier (COVID-19) will feature in the starting XI versus Hoffenheim on Friday.

Impact Meunier will be making his season debut after returning from his COVID-19 diagnosis. The defender will replace Emre Can (strain) at right-back in the starting XI and could push the attack from the backline. As such, Meunier could offer solid mid-range fantasy value.

AUGUST 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Could return Saturday Meunier (COVID-19) has completed another week of training and may be an option against Hoffenheim on Friday.

Impact Meunier's return to the squad would bolster a backline that will be without Mats Hummels (knee), Nico Schulz (strain) or Dan-Axel Zagadou (knee). Still, even if healthy enough to crack the match-day squad, Meunier may not be fit enough to rejoin the starting XI which could see Axel Witsel and Emre Can playing in defensive roles.

Misses match against Freiburg Meunier has been ruled out of the match against Freiburg on Saturday.

Impact Meunier will not play in the match against Freiburg. The veteran full-back could not recover after testing positive for Covid-19. The development will be a setback for Dortmund who will be going into the match without another full-back-Marcel Schmelzer.

Impact This positive test puts Meunier in danger of missing the Aug. 14 opener. Once he's able to return to training, he may only get a couple days with the team, meaning he may not be risked to start against Frankfurt.

He's also kept one clean sheet in his two starts but will have another very tough match up Friday versus Italy at the quarterfinals.
