Could return after international break
Assignon (shoulder) is not a squad candidate yet and is expected to return to the squad after the international break, according to coach Sebastian HoeneB. "We must not forget he was out for four months. He isn't a candidate for the squad yet... he definitely needs another week or two. I expect we'll see him back in the squad after the international break."
Analysis: Assignon has been sidelined for four months and remains short of the level required for a place in the squad, with Sebastian HoeneB saying he will likely need another one or two weeks. The right-back will therefore miss Wednesday's Champions league opener against Viking as well as Saturday's game against TSG Hoffenheim, while his return is currently expected after the international break. Assignon was primarily used as a rotation option alongside Joshua Vagnoman last season, and his return should restore another depth option at right-back once he is deemed ready.
Back available moving forward
Assignon is back fully in team training after nearly three months sidelined with a shoulder injury, according to coach Sebastian Hoeness. "Lorenz has fully rejoined team training."
Analysis: Assignon can now complete the full program with his teammates for the first time in a long while, and while he will likely still need to build up match sharpness, this marks a significant step toward becoming an option for the matchday squad again. Josha Vagnoman figures to continue in the starting role at right back in the meantime as Assignon works his way back into contention.
