Fit for Elche friendly
Sauer (hamstring) is fit to play in Saturday's friendly against Elche, the club posted.
Analysis: Sauer had picked up a hamstring injury that ruled him out of the earlier friendly against Real Sociedad, so his availability now confirms he has recovered from that setback. He mostly featured as a substitute last season, and this clean bill of health gives him another chance to push for a bigger role under new coach Jens Berthel Askou heading into the new 2026/27 Ligue 1 campaign.
Picks up hamstring issue
Sauer has picked up a hamstring injury this week and will not be part of Toulouse's squad for Friday's friendly against Real Sociedad in Tarbes, according to Les Violets.
Analysis: Sauer had mostly featured as a substitute last season, and this new hamstring issue adds another obstacle to his push for a bigger role. His recovery timeline will be worth monitoring as Toulouse continues its preseason buildup under new coach Jens Berthel Askou.
Clears suspension
Sauer has served his one-game league ban and is consequently eligible for future fixtures.
Analysis: Sauer was unavailable in the week 33 clash with Lyon, before which he had featured almost exclusively as a substitute. Given that situation, his value may continue to be limited in upcoming matches. The midfielder could still earn some minutes in the competition with Alexis Vossah, Cristian Casseres and Pape Demba Diop.
Will miss one game
Sauer is set to be suspended after accumulating five yellow cards in French competitions, the league announced.
Analysis: Sauer picked up his fifth yellow card in French competitions and is now suspended for the showdown against Lyon on May 10. The TeFeCe midfielder has been only a bench option for the club this season, therefore his absence will not force any reshuffle in the starting XI.
