Ruled out for first leg
Wimmer (thigh) will miss Thursday's relegation playoff first leg against Paderborn and is unlikely to feature in Monday's second leg either, according to coach Dieter Hecking. "Wimmer will not be able to play tomorrow, probably not in the second leg either. He is still feeling something. I already told the team Monday that we can only take players who are one hundred percent."
Analysis: Wimmer's absence is a significant blow for Wolfsburg heading into the highest-stakes fixtures of their season, with the Austrian winger having been one of their more dangerous attacking options before the thigh issue emerged. Manager Dieter Hecking's uncompromising stance on player fitness underlines the importance the club places on having fully fit players available for such a critical two-legged tie. Mattias Svanberg is expected to continue covering in his absence across both legs of the playoff.
Suffers thigh injury
Wimmer will miss Saturday's clash against St. Pauli due to a muscular injury in his thigh, according to coach Dieter Hecking. "He will not be able to play Saturday. We hope he will be sufficiently recovered for a potential relegation playoff. And the situation does not look too bad on that front."
Analysis: Wimmer's absence is a concern for Wolfsburg heading into a crucial fixture with relegation implications still in play. Manager Dieter Hecking's comments suggest the injury is not considered serious enough to rule him out of a potential playoff, which provides some encouragement for the club. Lovro Majer and Mattias Svanberg are the leading candidates to fill in for the Austrian in Saturday's lineup.
