Anthony Rouault - Joins Stuttgart Rouault completed a season-long loan to Stuttgart from Toulouse, Stuttgart announced.

Impact Rouault makes the switch to Germany with Stuttgart on a season-long loan from Toulouse. Rouault didn't make an appearance for Toulouse in 2023-24 but he was a consistent starter in 2022-23, making 37 appearances (all starts.)

SEPTEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Enzo Millot - Active in training Millot (calf) returned to training Tuesday after missing Friday's 5-1 loss to Leipzig with a calf injury, Stuttgart announced.

Impact Millot was back in full training Tuesday and should be an option for Saturday's match against Freiburg. With the addition of Angelo Stiller, Millot should have the chance to move into his favored position in central attacking midfield.

AUGUST 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Deniz Undav - Working on grass Undav (knee) has begun individual pitch work as he works his way back to full fitness.

Impact Undav still isn't participating in full team training, so his return to action is likely still weeks away. Still, it's a step in the right direction for the forward who should be in contention for a spot in the starting XI once given the all-clear to play.

AUGUST 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Alexander Nubel - Blown away in second half Nubel made six saves and allowed five goals in Friday's 5-1 loss versus RB Leipzig.

Impact Nubel went into half time in great form and with a clean sheet in hand. At the 75th minute he found himself down 5-1 with another goal ruled out for offside. Nubel isn't the first, or last, keeper that will get dismantled by an impressive Leipzig side. There are easier matches ahead for Nubel as he looks to shine on loan and keep Stuttgart in the Bundesliga.

AUGUST 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Atakan Karazor - Earns rare assist Karazor assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Friday's 5-1 loss against RB Leipzig.

Impact Karazor assisted during Friday's loss, this is just the third Bundesliga assist of his career. It's unlikely Karazor will turn into a consistent creative force, but Stuttgart have already impressed in the opening two matches. Karazor seems set for a major role, and has already created three chances in two matches, giving him a chance to continue an offensive streak.

AUGUST 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sehrou Guirassy - Scores again Guirassy scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) in Friday's 5-1 defeat to RB Leipzig.

Impact Guirassy netted for the third time in two matches to continue his red-hot start to 2023-24. The striker is on pace to absolutely blow past the 11 goals he totaled during his debut season with Stuttgart and has been unstoppable in front of net. The team around him might struggle but as long as Guirassy stays in Stuttgart he should get plenty of opportunities to spear head the attack.

AUGUST 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Angelo Stiller - Joins Stuttgart Stiller has completed a permanent move from Hoffenheim to Stuttgart, his new club announced.

Impact The 22-year-old joins Stuttgart after logging at least 20 appearances in each of the last two Bundesliga seasons with Hoffenheim, and in fact, he started in the 2023-24 season opener for them. If he lands a regular role with Stuttgart, it'd probably be as a defensive-minded central midfielder.

AUGUST 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Maximilian Mittelstadt - Returns to bench Mittelstadt is on the bench for Friday's match against Leipzig.

Impact Mittelstadt will make his return to the team sheet after suffering a knee injury that sidelined him for the past two months. His addition back into the squad adds depth more than anything and gives Stuttgart another reliable substitute. He has a chance of making his club debut Friday, but it is still questionable if he will even see the field as a substitute after just returning from injury.

AUGUST 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Fabian Bredlow - On bench against Leipzig Bredlow will make his return to the team sheet against Leipzig on Friday.

Impact Bredlow will appear on the bench Friday after being sideline for about the last month with a hip injury. His return is not one of much importance as he is the backup keeper anyways. He will find a few appearances here and there but shouldn't expect an appearance soon after just returning from injury.

AUGUST 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Hiroki Ito - Extends contract with Stuttgart Ito signed a contract extension until 2027 with Stuttgart on Wednesday.

Impact Ito's extension was a big one for the club as he has been their normal starting left back for the past two seasons. The 24-year-old has only improved with the club so far, amassing five goal contributions to go along with 76 crosses (19 accurate), 37 chances created and 84 tackles in his 60 appearances for the team. Ito should be looked at as a normal starter for the rest of the season at Stuttgart.

AUGUST 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Leonidas Stergiou - 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.

AUGUST 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Hiroki Ito - Assists opening goal Ito had an assist while taking two off target shots, crossing twice inaccurately and creating two chances during Saturday's 5-0 win over Bochum.

Impact Ito set up Sehrou Guirassy in the 18th minute assisting the opening goal of the match for Stuttgart. Ito started at left-back in the match ahead of Borna Sosa, but is a bit of Swiss army knife for the club as he can also slot into the heart of defense and midfield when needed.

AUGUST 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Chris Fuhrich - Two assists on Saturday Fuhrich had two assists while taking two off target shots, crossing eight times (four accurate) and creating five chances during Saturday's 5-0 win over Bochum.

Impact Fuhrich set up Dan-Axel Zagadou in the 38th minute and Silas in the 60th to assist two of Stuttgart's five goals in the match. The assists matched the forward's season total from last year after one match, but he'll need to find the back of the net more consistently after scoring just five times in 33 appearances a year ago.

AUGUST 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dan Zagadou - Scores, keeps clean sheet Zagadou scored a goal with his lone shot while making an interception and three clearances during Saturday's 5-0 win over Bochum.

Impact Zagadou found the back of the net in the 38th minute scoring Stuttgart's second goal of the match. The goal was the defender's first since the the 2019 season as Zagadou may find himself in a major role across the backline for Stuttgart this season.

AUGUST 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Silas Katompa Mvumpa - Nets brace on opening day Silas scored two goals from two shots while crossing three times (one accurate) during Saturday's 5-0 win over Bochum.

Impact Silas found the back of the net in the 60th and 67th minutes scoring two of Stuttgart's five goals in the match. The attacker scored just five teams last season despite making 30 appearances in the Bundesliga as he looks to top his career high of 11 league goals set in 2020-21.

AUGUST 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Pascal Stenzel - Makes most of opportunity Stenzel had two assists from two chances created while taking two shots (one on goal) and crossing twice (one accurate) during Saturday's 5-0 win over Bochum.

Impact Stenzel set up Silas in the 67th minute and Sehrou Guirassy in the 77th assisting two of Stuttgart's five goals in the match. Stenzel made the most of his opportunity to start with Josha Vagnoman out injured as he doubled his assist total from last campaign in just one match.

AUGUST 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Alexander Nubel - One save in clean sheet Nubel kept a clean sheet while making a save during Saturday's 5-0 win over Bochum.

Impact Nubel helped Stuttgart claim all three points by shutting out Bochum on Saturday. The keeper added one save to the clean sheet as he marked his competitive debut with the club in strong fashion.

AUGUST 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sehrou Guirassy - Nets brace against Bochum Guirassy scored twice while taking four shots (two on goal) and creating a chance during Saturday's 5-0 win over Bochum.

Impact Guirassy found the back of the net int he 18th and 77th minutes scoring two of Stuttgart's five goals on the day while leading the club with four shots. Guirassy's strong 11-goal season a campaign ago led to Stuttgart triggering a permanent deal from the forward as he's off to a flying start in the new season.

Konstantinos Mavropanos - Trains individually Mavropanos (back) returns to individual training this week and will not be an option for Saturday's match against Bochum.

Impact Mavropanos played an important role in keeping Stuttgart in the Bundesliga last season, averaging about 3.4 clearances and 2.2 interceptions per game. During his absence, Waldermar Anton and Dan-Axel Zagadou will be mending the center back position until he returns.

AUGUST 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Fabian Bredlow - Ruled out as expected Bredlow (hip) will not be an option for Saturday's match against Bochum.

Impact There is no surprise that Bredlow will not play Saturday as he only returned to individual training this week. Alexander Nubel will get the call to start and could take over as the number one keeper as he will spend the rest of the season on loan from Bayern Munich.

AUGUST 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Maximilian Mittelstadt - Too early to return Mittelstadt (knee) will not be available for Saturday's match against Bochum.

Impact Mittelstadt was able to take part in training this week, but will need at least a week of full training before returning to the pitch. He joined the club from Hertha Berlin in June, spending the last eight years in the Bundesliga. However, the midfielder only made seven starts in 17 appearances last season, averaging about 2.2 crosses and tackles per match.

AUGUST 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Maximilian Mittelstadt - Returns to training Mittelstadt (knee) took part in team training Tuesday, Kicker reports.

Impact Mittelstadt continues to work back from a knee ligament strain and was active in team training Tuesday. The wing-back is on track to make his way back for Saturday's Bundesliga opener against Bochum, as expected.

AUGUST 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Maximilian Mittelstadt - Expected back for Bundesliga Mittelstadt (knee) is out for Saturday's DFB Pokal clash with TSG Balingen, but is expected to return before an Aug. 19 Bundesliga opener against Bochum, according to manager Sebas...

Impact Mittelstadt suffered the knee strain early in pre-season but is progressing on pace to return for the open of the Bundesliga season. The wing-back could compete for time in the starting XI though with Born Sosa remaining in Stuttgart it's likely Mittelstadt will be a rotational option at first.
