Olivier Deman - Five crosses off bench Deman registered five crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 1-0 defeat to SC Freiburg.

Impact Deman was subbed onto the pitch in the 79th minute and was highly productive in his short cameo. He recorded five crosses (one accurate), created one chances and took three corners in his 11 minutes of action. His productive bench appearance could earn him more playing time moving forward.

Marvin Ducksch - Productive in Saturday's loss Ducksch had three shots (zero on goal), six crosses (one accurate) and four corners in Saturday's 1-0 defeat versus SC Freiburg.

Impact Despite his team not finding the back of the net, Ducksch had a fairly productive outing Saturday. He set a season high with three chances created and recorded six crosses for the fourth time in his last five appearances. He also failed to record a shot on target for the third straight game -- he has eight shot attempts over that stretch -- a slightly concerning sign moving forward.

Michael Zetterer - Concedes once Saturday Zetterer recorded two saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-0 loss to SC Freiburg.

Impact Zetterer conceded one goal Saturday, a Ritsu Doan strike in the 75th minute which was the only goal in the match. Zetterer has now kept just one clean sheet through six starts this season. He will look to get back on track Sunday at Wolfsburg, a side which has scored 13 goals in six matches this season.

Marco Friedl - Back from ban Friedl is no longer suspended and is eligible to play again.

Impact Friedl is back with the team, as he is now an option to face Freiburg on Saturday after serving his two-match ban. He did start in their opening three matches of the season and should return to the starting XI next contest.

Senne Lynen - Suffers knock Lynen suffered an injury following a collision in Sunday's match against Hoffenheim, according to his club.

Impact Lynen had to leave the field early Sunday after coming up on the wrong side of a collision, exiting the field in the 76th minute. This will force him out of training for a few days and will leave him questionable for Saturday's match against Freiburg. They will hope he can recover in time for that match, as he has started in all five games this season.

Niklas Stark - Picks up thigh issue Stark has been handed a muscle issue in his thigh, according to his club.

Impact Stark is taking a break from training for the next few days and will be evaluated ahead of Saturday's match against Freiburg after suffering a thigh injury. This comes after an early exit against Hoffenheim on Sunday. They will hope his issues are only minor, as he has started in all five matches this campaign.

Niklas Stark - Assists Sunday Stark assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 4-3 win over Hoffenheim.

Impact Stark recorded his first assist of the season as he set up Julian Malatini's goal in the 21st minute which sparked the three-goal comeback. It was the only chance he created in the match. He had a quiet defensive match for his standards as he did not record a single interception, clearance or blocked shot. He was subbed off in the 58th minute for Amos Pieper.

SEPTEMBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Mitchell Weiser - Assists winner Sunday Weiser assisted once to go with four shots (three on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 4-3 victory against Hoffenheim.

Impact Weiser assisted the seventh and final goal of Sunday's wild match as his cross in the 49th minute connected with Jens Stage's head to score the match-winning goal. It was one of two chances Weiser created, and he also set season highs with four shots and three shots on target. He played the full 90 minutes for the fifth straight match.

Marvin Ducksch - Assists in Sunday's win Ducksch assisted once to go with five shots (zero on goal), six crosses (three accurate) and five corners in Sunday's 4-3 win over Hoffenheim.

Impact Ducksch recorded his first assist of the season Sunday as he set up Jens Stage's header in the 26th minute which cut the deficit to 3-2. He filled up the stat sheet besides the assist too as he set season highs in shots (five) and corners (five). He also won one tackle and made one clearance before he was subbed off in the 88th minute for Marco Grull.

Julian Malatini - Sparks comeback with goal Malatini scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Sunday's 4-3 victory over Hoffenheim.

Impact With his side down 3-0 and just three minutes after Stanley Nsoki's red card, Malatini scored his first goal of the season in the 21st minute, the first of four Bremen goals to complete the comeback win. He put on a strong defensive performance too as he won three tackles, intercepted one pass, made three clearances and blocked one shot in his full 90 minutes of action.

Impact Stage scored his first three goals of the season Sunday as he and Bremen turned a 3-0 deficit into a 4-3 win. He set season highs across the board, recording his most shots, shots on target, chances created, crosses and accurate crosses. He also won one tackle, intercepted two passes and made one clearance in his full 90 minutes of action.

SEPTEMBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Michael Zetterer - Concedes three Sunday Zetterer registered one save and allowed three goals in Sunday's 4-3 victory versus Hoffenheim.

Impact Zetterer had a rough outing Sunday despite the win as he conceded three goals, bringing him up to eight in just the last two matches. All three of the goals came within the first 12 minutes of the match, but Zetterer and the defense locked down following Stanley Nsoki's red card in the 18th minute. He faces a matchup of similar difficulty Saturday versus Freiburg, a side which has scored eight goals in five league matches this season.

Amos Pieper - Five interceptions in return Pieper recorded five interceptions, three clearances and two tackles (one won) during Saturday's 5-0 loss to Bayern Munich. According to him, "For my personal story and my body, it...

Impact Piper made his season debut Saturday after missing the first matches of the season with injury. It has been a rough year for the defender, having only made eight Bundesliga appearances dating back to last season. As long as the defender stays fit, he is set for consistent starts in the back line for the side.

SEPTEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Michael Zetterer - Concedes five Zetterer registered three saves and allowed five goals in Saturday's 5-0 defeat against Bayern Munich.

Impact Zetterer was absolutely blown away during Saturday's five-goal loss. The goalkeeper couldn't do anything to contain the rampant Munich attack. This was always the toughest match on the calendar, and one that shouldn't be any sort of indicator of Zetterer's future performances.

SEPTEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Romano Schmid - Two crosses in loss Schmid had two crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 5-0 loss against Bayern Munich.

Impact Schmid was active in the attack when possible, but it was always going to be the hardest match on the calendar. The attacking midfielder has been a solid contributor for the most part and should have more upside in the coming weeks. Against Munich there's always some level of underperformance expected.

Impact Veljkovic is set to miss out on yet another match, marking his third straight match on the sidelines due to the issues. He looks likely to possibly miss even more time moving forward, as he has been reported to still have consistent problems with his ankle. That said, he probably won't see the field again until some time in October.
