Osterhage has been ruled out of Saturday's season opener against Augsburg due to muscular problems. The defensive midfielder will be assessed in the coming days to determine the extent of the issue and whether he will have to miss more time. Osterhage is a regular starter in Freiburg's midfield, so his absence forces a change in the lineup, with Johan Manzambi taking the deeper role and Yuito Suzuki operating as the number 10.
