Makes starting XI
Matsima (groin) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's friendly against Sassuolo, according to the club.
Analysis: Matsima had recently returned to the matchday squad as a bench option following an adductor injury suffered in late July, and his move into the starting XI now marks a significant step forward in his recovery. Getting valuable minutes here is important for his push to be ready for the DFB Pokal opener against Cottbus on August 22 and the Bundesliga opener against Schalke 04 on August 30.
Listed on bench
Matsima (groin) was listed on the bench for Wednesday's friendly match against SC Schwaz.
Analysis: Seeing Matsima on the bench is a positive sign after he suffered an adductor injury in late July. Augsburg have two more friendlies, against Sassuolo and Leeds on Aug. 8 and Aug. 15, respectively, before their competitive debut against Cottbus on Aug. 22 in the DFB Pokal. Seeing action in either of those games will be pivotal for Matsima if he wants to be an option for the Bundesliga opener against Schalke 04 on Sunday, Aug. 30.
