OUT
Injury Thigh
Est. Return 2/25/2026
Remains out
Sule (thigh) won't be an option for Saturday's clash against Leipzig, coach Niko Kovac said in the press conference, according to Katharina Kupper from Ruhr 24.
ANALYSIS
Sule picked up a thigh injury in the matchup against Mainz and remains sidelined as he works his way back from the setback. There is still no clear timetable for his return, leaving a noticeable dent in the depth of the back line, with the unit already running thin. In the meantime, young Luca Reggiani is in line for an expanded role as the defense looks to steady itself until reinforcements return to full health.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Chelsea could make move
Chelsea might make a move for Sule if they decide to sign a new center-back next summer, according to Football.London.
ANALYSIS
Chelsea might lose both Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen since both are nearing the end of their contracts at Stamford Bridge, and this means Chelsea could turn their attention to new names on the market. Niklas Sule and Jules Kounde are two viable alternatives as replacements. Sule has been linked with a Premier League switch for quite a while.
