StuttgartBack available vs Koln
Fuhrich (thigh) is back available for Friday's clash against Koln, according to coach Sebastian Hoeness. "Chris is back with us."
Analysis: Fuhrich had missed the Bundesliga opener at Bayern Munich due to muscular problems, and his return now positions him as an option for the squad, with manager Hoeness leaving open the possibility he could even start given Tiago Tomas's absence with a separate muscle injury that will keep him out until after the international break.
Out for season opener
Fuhrich (thigh) is out for Friday's match against Bayern Munich.
Analysis: Fuhrich was a late call and has failed his testing ahead of the season opener, with the attacker out due to a thigh injury. The good news is that a return shouldn't take long, as he was already a close call for Friday. That said, he could very well return next contest.
Late call for Bayern clash
Fuhrich (thigh) will be a late call for Friday's Bundesliga opener against Bayern Munich after being limited by a thigh knock, according to coach Sebastian Hoeness. "It's going to be very tight with Chris. I can't say yet whether he'll be fit. We'll have to see over the next two days how much he can do in training and whether it'll be enough for the game."
Analysis: Fuhrich picked up the thigh issue during the DFB-Pokal win over Hansa Rostock and has since been limited to individual training. The winger has not yet been ruled out against Bayern, but his ability to return to team training over the next two days will determine his availability. Tiago Tomas is expected to start on the left wing if Fuhrich is unable to recover in time.
Trains individually Monday
Fuhrich suffered a thigh injury against FC Hansa Rostock and is currently limited to individual training, leaving his availability for Friday's Bundesliga opener against FC Bayern Munich uncertain, according to Stuttgarter Nachrichten.
Analysis: Fuhrich suffered a blow to the thigh during the DFB-Pokal win over FC Hansa Rostock and was forced off in the 68th minute, though a muscle injury was subsequently ruled out. The winger is still training individually as of Monday, and it remains unclear whether he will be able to rejoin the team before Friday's Bundesliga opener against FC Bayern Munich. His workload will likely need to increase over the next few days, with a return to full team training key to his chances of being available. Fuhrich was ticketed to start on the left wing, but if he can't go, Bilal El Khannouss looks the likely option to slot into that spot instead.
Adds assist Saturday
Fuhrich assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal), eight crosses (three accurate) and five corners in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Eintracht Frankfurt.
Analysis: Fuhrich finished off another strong campaign, ending with seven goals and seven assists in 33 appearances. He failed to top 2,000 minutes for the second season in a row, but he played a big role throughout. The winger is a solid option any time he's on the pitch and offers utility as a finisher and creator during any attacking moves, he should continue in a solid role in 2026/27.
Opens scoring for Stuttgart
Fuhrich scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal), one cross (one accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 3-3 draw versus Hoffenheim.
Analysis: The forward opened the scoring for Stuttgart and did well with his opportunities. He will likely need more volume to break through a decent Leverkusen defense in the next game, as the side has only conceded 43 goals in 32 Bundesliga games.
Scores again
Fuhrich scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Sunday's 4-2 loss to Bayern Munich.
Analysis: Fuhrich scores vs Bayern on Sunday for his second goal in two matches. He's been a dangerous threat in the attack for Stuttgart, collecting three goals and assist in last eight games, creating 15 chances with 29 crosses and 21 shots made in that span.
