Could return against Elversberg

The defensive midfielder returned to Augsburg after Fortuna Dusseldorf declined to exercise its purchase option following a loan spell in which he recorded one assist across 15 second-division appearances. Having made just 18 Bundesliga appearances for Augsburg since arriving from Karlsruher SC in 2023, Breithaupt faces considerable competition for playing time even if he is cleared for Saturday's fixture.
Ruled out for Schalke clash
Breithaupt (undisclosed) is ruled out for Sunday's opener against Schalke, according to coach Manuel Baum. "Mounie and Breithaupt will be out for Sunday's game."
