Enzo Millot - MCL tear confirmed Millot will be sidelined for several weeks after tearing his MCL during Tuesday's training session.
Impact Millot will be sidelined for several weeks, but as a small glimmer of good news, will not require surgery. He has yet to even make the bench this season, so this doesn't change anything, though it does slow the development of the promising midfielder.
OCTOBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Florian Muller - Tests positive for COVID-19 Muller (COVID-19) has tested positive for COVID 19, Stuttgart announced.
Impact Muller will be out for at least 10 days, putting him out for Saturday's trip to Monchengladbach. Until Muller can return to the team at full fitness Fabian Bredlow will step into the starting XI.
OCTOBER 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Roberto Massimo - Tests positive for COVID-19 Massimo has tested positive for COVID-19 while away with the German U21 team and will likely miss Stuttgart's next match.
Impact Massimo has dropped to the bench each of the last two matches, so this fortunately won't change the XI for Stuttgart. He already has five starts this season after seven all of last campaign, but he still faces a battle to return to the XI once he's over COVID-19.
OCTOBER 8, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Lilian Egloff - Begins individual work Egloff (foot) was on the training pitch for individual work Wednesday.
Impact Egloff has yet to get into a match for the club this season but could be nearing a return to the match-day squad with his resumption of individual training. Still, the midfielder will need to rejoin the first team for a full practice before being considered.
OCTOBER 6, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Erik Thommy - Tests positive for COVID-19 Thommy tested positive for COVID-19 on Wednesday and is questionable versus Monchengladbach on Oct. 16.
Impact Thommy has yet to crack the starting XI for the club this season, so his potential absence may not have an impact on the starters. Still, the midfielder has come off the bench on three occasions, including a 45-minute appearance his last time out. The international break could afford Thommy the chance of still playing against Gladbach if he can clear league protocols.
OCTOBER 6, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Waldemar Anton - Tests positive for COVID-19 Anton tested positive for COVID-19 on Wednesday and is in doubt against Monchengladbach on Oct. 16.
Impact With the international break, it's possible Anton won't be forced to miss any time depending on whether he can clear the Bundesliga's protocols. If he is available, Anton should be a near-lock for the starting XI considering he has featured in the starting XI in all six of his appearances.

Impact Coulibaly recorded two assists across his last four starts at Stuttgart's Mercedes-Benz Arena. He logged the second using a pass to Robert Massimo. Coincidentally, both footballers are competing for starts in place of an injured Silas Katompa Mvumpa (knee).
OCTOBER 2, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Konstantinos Mavropanos - Logs open-play goal vs. Hoffenheim Mavropanos scored one goal during a 3-1 win Saturday versus Hoffenheim.
Impact Mavropanos has two Bundesliga goals, of which he recorded across his last three appearances at Stuttgart's Mercedes-Benz Arena and did not log using set pieces as most defenders would. He benefited by being assertive when given the ball during open play.
OCTOBER 2, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Omar Marmoush - Seven corner kicks, one assist Marmoush attempted seven corner kicks and recorded one assist during a 3-1 win Saturday versus Hoffenheim.
Impact Marmoush used one of the seven corner kicks (that he attempted Saturday) to record his first Stuttgart team assist. Across its last four games, he averaged 2.8 corner-kick attempts. Those will help him be considered a more promising fantasy option than most Bundesliga strikers.

Borussia Dortmund needed Julian Brandt to score the winner in a 2-1 victory over Augsburg in the BundesligaOCTOBER 2, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Roberto Massimo - Scores goal off bench Massimo scored one goal across 25 minutes during a 3-1 win Saturday versus Hoffenheim.
Impact Massimo recorded his first 2021-22 Bundesliga goal. The right midfielder scored despite trying to log game minutes against Tanguy Coulibaly while Silas Katompa Mvumpa (knee) remains unavailable.
OCTOBER 2, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Florian Muller - Concedes one goal Muller conceded one goal during a 3-1 win Saturday versus Hoffenheim.
Impact Muller conceded at least one goal during six of the Stuttgart team's last seven league games. It is scheduled to play at Monchengladbach on Oct. 16, and he remains an unfavorable option.
OCTOBER 2, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Marc Kempf - Surprisingly scores goal again Kempf scored one goal during a 3-1 win Saturday versus Hoffenheim.
Impact Kempf scored three goals across the Stuttgart team's last six league games. The defender already surpassed his 2020-21 Bundesliga goal tally, two across 32 appearances.
OCTOBER 2, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Silas Wamangituka - Suspension served Silas (knee) was back on the training pitch Friday following his three-month suspension.
Impact Silas will no doubt need some time to get back to 100 percent, especially considering he is still recovering from a knee problem. Even once back to match-fitness, the forward is far from a lock for the starting XI and may find himself held in reserve more often than not.
OCTOBER 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Philipp Forster - Training Friday Forster (illness) participated in Friday's training session ahead of a clash with Hoffenheim on Saturday.
Impact Considering Forster just returned to training, he probably shouldn't be expected to feature in the starting XI on Saturday, though he could be an option off the bench. With the international break around the corner, Forster should be in the mix for a spot in the starting XI come the club's Oct. 16 matchup with Gladbach.
