Ruled out three to four weeks
Vagnoman is expected to miss approximately three to four weeks after suffering a strain in his right hamstring during Tuesday's Champions League clash against Atletico Madrid, according to Sky Germany.
Analysis: Vagnoman faces several weeks on the sidelines after sustaining a right hamstring strain during Tuesday's European encounter against Atletico Madrid. The right-back was forced off during the second half and replaced by Lorenz Assignon, with subsequent assessments confirming a muscular strain rather than a more serious injury. However, the projected three-to-four-week recovery timeline will likely rule him out of Stuttgart's upcoming Bundesliga encounters against Borussia Monchengladbach and Bayer Leverkusen, as well as the DFB-Pokal clash against Paderborn. His absence represents a significant setback for coach Sebastian Hoeness, as Vagnoman has started every Bundesliga match this season and contributed to five goals across all competitions. Assignon appears the leading candidate to replace him at right-back and could benefit from an extended run in the starting lineup. Vagnoman's return to training will depend on his rehabilitation progress, with a potential comeback expected in mid-to-late November.
Brought off with injury
Vagnoman was brought off injured during the second half of Tuesday's clash with Atleti.
Analysis: Vagnoman got the start, as per usual but was forced off during the second half after picking up an injury shortly after half-time. The defender was replaced by Lorenz Assignon, who would figure to take on a larger role at right-back if the issue is a serious one. Vagnoman's status will be worth monitoring especially with his next Bundesliga match coming on short-rest against Gladbach on Friday.
Creates two chances
Vagnoman generated two shots (one on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 1-0 defeat versus Borussia Dortmund.
Analysis: Vagnoman created two chances while recording a shot on target and three crosses in Saturday's loss to Dortmund. He leads the team with two goals through four matches and has added one assist. His two goals already surpass his total from the 2025/26 season, and he is just two assists shy of matching last season's mark.
Involved in two of four goals
Vagnoman had an assist and scored a goal while taking three shots (one on goal), crossing twice accurately and creating four chances during Friday's 4-1 win over Koln.
Analysis: Vagnoman set up Bilal El Khannous in the 39th minute before scoring himself in the 90th while tying for the team-high with his four assists. The wing-back is off to a flying start this season with three goal involvements, four shots and four crosses while playing every minute of his club's first two matches.
Scores in both nets
Vagnoman scored one goal to go with an own goal, one shot (one on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Friday's 5-1 loss to Bayern Munich.
Analysis: Vagnoman scored Stuttgart's only goal during Friday's loss, as well as tallying one for the opposition. It was an interesting match for the full-back, to say the least. Against a brilliant Bayern attack it's always going to be tough and Vagnoman just clearly wasn't comfortable in the backline. The coming matches are all going to be easier than this disappointing loss.
