Daniel Didavi - Picks up Achilles issue Didavi (Achilles) is out for Saturday's clash with Bielefeld, according to Stuttgart.
Impact Didavi has picked up an Achilles issue over the international break and will miss Saturday's clash with Bielefeld. It's not yet clear how serious the injury is, but he will likely not be ready for Friday's clash with Dortmund either.

Lilian Egloff - Ruled out despite training Egloff (back) is in training, but is ruled out against Bielefeld, according to Stuttgart.
Impact Egloff is back in training, but has been ruled out against Bielefeld. The midfielder isn't any sort of fantasy or real option, so he's not worth considering even when fully fit and available.
MARCH 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Philipp Forster - Ruled out Saturday Forster (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's clash with Bielefeld, according to Stuttgart.
Impact Forster is ruled out for Saturday's clash, another set-back for what has been a disappointing season for the midfielder. He just hasn't been able to get on the pitch and it has cost Stuttgart. Forster will hope to return Friday, against Dortmund.
MARCH 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Mohamed Sankoh - Returns to training Sankoh (knee) has returned to training, Stuttgart announced Wednesday.
Impact Sankoh returned to training nearly three and a half months early. It's a bit ridiculous as he was originally projected to have a nine-12 month recovery time. The forward is now back in training, though it's unlikely he is able to return to the first team in full anytime soon. Sankoh will hope to avoid reaggravating this injury with his rushed return to training.
MARCH 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Lilian Egloff - Returns to individual training Egloff (back) returned to individual training during Wednesday's session, according to Stuttgart.
Impact Egloff was able to make his way back to individual training, and was able to run and test his back. The midfielder isn't much of a fantasy option even when fit, so this doesn't change anything for fantasy managers, or for the Stuttgart starting XI.

Florian Muller - Two saves for win Muller made two saves during Saturday's 3-2 win over Augsburg.
Impact Muller made two saves on four shots faced during Saturday's high-scoring win. The keeper was tested repeatedly and often seemed up to the task. He was beaten twice but both were strong team moves. Muller is in good form and should be considered a top option against Bielefeld next time out.
MARCH 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Borna Sosa - Assists again Sosa provided one assist on five chances created during Saturday's 3-2 win over Augsburg.
Impact Sosa provided an assist for the third game in a row during Saturday's win. The left-back has been in excellent form since returning to the team and now will hope to maintain that form over the international break. Sosa remains a stout fantasy option in all formats.
MARCH 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Waldemar Anton - Rare goal in win Anton scored once on one shot during Saturday's 3-2 win over Augsburg.
Impact Anton scored his second goal of the campaign, a new single-season best for the central defender. While the offense is nice, Anton is a very limited fantasy option and isn't worth chasing in any formats. Anton takes on Bielefeld after the international break.
MARCH 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Omar Marmoush - Goal, assist in win Marmoush scored once and provided one assist on four chances created during Saturday's 3-2 win over Augsburg.
Impact Marmoush was excellent Saturday, continually getting forward and pinning Augsburg back. The forward was dangerous as a finisher and creator and linked up well with Tiago Tomas. Marmoush will be a strong fantasy play moving forward after the international break.
MARCH 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Tiago Tomas - Scores in win Tomas scored once on three shots (one on goal) during Saturday's 3-2 win over Augsburg.
Impact Tomas scored his third goal of the season during his sixth start. Continuing his role starting on the wing, Tomas has looked dangerous throughout for Stuttgart. He head into the international break as a boom-bust fantasy option with a very risky floor. Tomas and Stuttgart are uncertain fantasy options for the final run of the season.
MARCH 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Hiroki Ito - Tests positive for COVID Ito tested positive for COVID-19, Stuttgart announced Saturday.
Impact Ito tested positive for COVID-19 ahead of Saturday's clash with Augsburg. He was replaced in the starting XI by Pascal Stenzel. Ito should have plenty of time to recover over the international break and should be straight in the starting XI against Bielefeld on the other side of the break.
MARCH 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Konstantinos Mavropanos - Starts against Augsburg Mavropanos has been included in the starting XI for the match against FC Augsburg on Saturday.
Impact Mavropanos will start Saturday's fixture. The central defender has recovered completely from a minor injury.

Wataru Endo - Contributes to offense and defense Endo had three shots (one on goal), two interceptions, four tackles, sustained two fouls and created one chance in the 1-1 draw with Union Berlin on Saturday.
Impact Though the midfielder put a lot of pressure on goal, he couldn't find the net in this match. Endo has managed two score a goal in each of his last two appearances, but it is not a common feat for him. His shots have been increasing in regularity, and he is always good for several tackles, but another goal may be a bit of a long shot against Augsburg.
MARCH 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Borna Sosa - Assists teammate in draw Sosa had one assist, one shot (off target), nine crosses, one interception, created two chances and sustained two fouls in the 1-1 draw with Union Berlin on Saturday.
Impact After struggling to find a goal the entire match, Sosa finally managed to assist Sasa Kalajdzic in the 90th minute to equalize. This was the second assist in the last two appearances for the midfielder, who is always an aggressive crosser. Hopefully he can do it again in the next match against Augsburg.
MARCH 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Sasa Kalajdzic - Scores once to salvage draw Kalajdzic had one goal on three shots (two off target), one tackle and created one chance in the 1-1 draw with Union Berlin on Saturday.
Impact After trailing the entire second half, Kalajdzic managed to equalize in the 90th minute thanks to the assist from Borna Sosa. This was the forward's third goal in his last four appearances, and he may keep the streak going in the next match against Augsburg.
MARCH 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Florian Muller - Makes two saves in draw Muller had two saves and conceded one goal in the 1-1 draw with Union Berlin on Saturday.
Impact Muller almost had a clean sheet, except for Taiwo Awoniyi's goal in the 41st minute. The shot was a penalty, though, which is a sign of progress for the keeper. Muller has been slipping a little lately, having not logged a clean sheet in his last eight appearances, but maybe that streak will be broken against Augsburg.
MARCH 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Chris Fuhrich - Has Five crosses in return Fuhrich had five crosses, one tackle, sustained one foul and created two chances in the 1-1 draw with Union Berlin on Saturday.
Impact Though he didn't miss any matches, Fuhrich suffered a minor illness recently, and his playing status was in question prior to this match. The forward remains an aggressive crosser, and hopefully he will be able to find an assist in his next appearance against Augsburg.
