Patrick Wimmer

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.

Departs with leg injury

Wimmer was forced off in the second half of Saturday's match against Bayern with a leg injury.

Analysis: Wimmer left the match in the 67th minute after receiving lengthy treatment on his left leg, eventually departing with it bandaged above the knee. Wimmer will be a doubt for next week's season finale against St. Pauli which is set up as a relegation six-pointer.
