Ruled out against Bayern Munich
Engelhardt (undisclosed) has been ruled out of Sunday's Bundesliga clash against Bayern Munich after suffering an apparent injury during Thursday's UEFA Conference League encounter against Monaco.
Analysis: Engelhardt remains sidelined after being forced off just 15 minutes into Thursday's European fixture against Monaco. The midfielder has been a regular starter for Freiburg this season, making his absence a setback ahead of Sunday's difficult encounter against Bayern Munich. The nature and severity of his injury remain unclear, with no definitive timeline established for his return. Maximilian Eggestein and Patrick Osterhage could see additional responsibilities in midfield while Engelhardt remains unavailable.
Picks up injury in UECL game
Engelhardt subbed off in the 15th minute of Thursday's UEFA Conference League clash with Monaco due to an apparent physical issue.
Analysis: Engelhardt has been a regular starter this season but could miss the crucial meeting with Bayern if he has sustained a significant blow. This news potentially weakens the midfield of a side that may turn to Maximilian Eggestein and Patrick Osterhage, though the latter has rarely been used during the campaign.
Scores twice against former club
Engelhardt scored two goals while taking four shots (three on goal) and crossing once inaccurately during Saturday's 5-0 win over Gladbach.
Analysis: Engelhardt found the back of the net in the 23rd and 79th minutes scoring twice against his former club. The goals match all of last season's total across 31 appearances as he's combined for six shots through his opening three matches this season.
Rejoins Freiburg from Como
Engelhardt has completed a transfer to SC Freiburg from Como 1907, marking a return to the club where he previously spent time from 2021 to 2023, according to the club.
Analysis: Engelhardt made 33 appearances as a regular starter for Borussia Monchengladbach last season during a loan spell from Como, and previously made 26 Serie A appearances for Como in 2024/25 after 37 appearances at Fortuna Dusseldorf, where he narrowly missed promotion to the Bundesliga in the playoff. During his earlier stint at Freiburg, he made 54 third division appearances for the club's U23 side, and the 25 year old midfielder will wear the number 16 shirt as he begins the next chapter of his career back at the club.
Back at Como
Engelhardt has returned to Como after his loan spell at Borussia Monchengladbach.
Analysis: Engelhardt has been a cornerstone for the entire campaign, recording two goals, two assists, 14 chances created and 43 tackels in 31 appearances (29 starts), but he wasn't retained before June 30. He's more likely to transfer again than to stay at Como, which, however, might need some depth in the midfield.
