Cleared after ankle scare
Komur (ankle) is available for Saturday's Bundesliga clash against Union Berlin after overcoming an ankle issue sustained during Tuesday's training session, according to coach Manuel Baum. "Mounie and Banks are still sidelined. Claude-Maurice has partially rejoined training. Everyone else is fit to play."
Analysis: Komur appears to have avoided a significant injury after twisting his ankle during Tuesday's training session, which forced him to leave the pitch early. The attacking midfielder initially indicated that the problem was minor, and manager Manuel Baum's latest update confirms he is fit for Saturday's clash against Union Berlin. The 21-year-old is therefore back in contention for selection without having missed a competitive fixture due to the issue. His availability provides Augsburg with another attacking midfield option for the weekend encounter.
Forced to end training early
Komur (ankle) was forced to leave Augsburg's training session early Tuesday after twisting his ankle, although the injury is not believed to be serious, according to Augsburger Allgemeine.
Analysis: Komur was unable to complete Tuesday's session after rolling his ankle, but initial indications suggest he avoided a significant injury. The 21-year-old attacking midfielder reportedly signaled immediately after the incident that the problem was not serious. His participation in training over the coming days will provide a clearer indication of his availability for Saturday's Bundesliga clash against Union Berlin, although there is currently no indication that he faces a lengthy absence.
Nets late as substitute
Komur scored a goal while taking three shots (two on goal), crossing three times (one accurate) and creating a chance during Saturday's 4-3 loss to Elversberg.
Analysis: Komur entered the match in the 74th minute and scored Augsburg's final goal in the 90th. The goal was the first this season for Komur as he's started just one of the opening six league matches.
Rejoins full training
Komur has rejoined full team training after recovering from his ankle injury, according to Augsburger Allgemeine.
Analysis: Komur suffered no structural damage from the knock sustained in Thursday's friendly against Bournemouth, with coach Manuel Baum clearing him shortly after the match while noting the injury was merely painful. His return to group training on Saturday confirms the issue has cleared up without complication. Komur is expected to continue building toward full match involvement as Augsburg's preseason camp progresses.
No structural damage
Komur has no structural injury from the ankle knock sustained in Thursday's friendly against Bournemouth, according to coach Manuel Baum, per Augsburger Allgemeine. "It's nothing structural, but painful."
Analysis: Komur's involvement in upcoming training sessions will be decided based on his pain levels, with the club uncertain whether he will need to scale back his workload or can train at full intensity. His status will continue to be monitored closely as Augsburg's preseason camp progresses.
Forced off with ankle injury
Komur was forced off during Thursday's friendly against Bournemouth after twisting his ankle attempting to intercept a ball going out of play.
Analysis: Komur appeared to land awkwardly attempting an overhead clearance and briefly played through the pain before Alexis Claude-Maurice came on as a precaution. No further details on the severity of the injury have been disclosed at this stage. Komur is expected to be assessed further as Augsburg's preseason continues.
Assists versus Monchengladbach
Komur assisted once to go with four shots (three on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 3-1 win over Monchengladbach.
Analysis: Komur made the starting lineup for the first time since March 7 and took advantage of the opportunity to set up Robin Fellhauer's 42nd-minute goal during the win. The young attacker ended a nine-game drought in terms of direct contributions and added to his season total of four assists, which represents the second-best record on the team. Moreover, the four shots were his highest single-game mark since Oct. 4.
