AugsburgRuled out for season finale
Rexhbecaj (illness) is ruled out for Saturday's season finale against Union Berlin.
Analysis: Rexhbecaj has been unable to recover from the illness that left him as a doubt heading into the season finale, with coach Manuel Baum's concerns earlier in the week proving accurate as Augsburg head into the final fixture of the campaign short-handed. Fabian Rieder is expected to drop into a deeper role in the engine room to cover his absence against Union Berlin. He ends the campaign with two goals, 17 crosses, 18 tackles and 20 clearances across 26 Bundesliga appearances and 10 starts.
Doubtful with illness
Rexhbecaj is a doubt for Saturday's season finale against Union Berlin after falling ill this week, according to coach Manuel Baum. "Elvis was sick this week."
Analysis: Rexhbecaj's potential absence adds to Augsburg's growing list of concerns heading into the final fixture of the season and if he had to miss the clash, Fabian Rieder would be expected to play in a deeper role in the engine room if Rexhbecaj cannot be cleared in time for the Union Berlin clash.
Signs with Wolfsburg
Rexhbecaj has signed with Wolfsburg on a contract through June 2030, returning to the club where he came through the academy, according to his new club.
Analysis: Rexhbecaj leaves Augsburg after four years when his contract expires this summer. The Kosovo international appeared in 26 matches this season, contributing two goals. He originally joined Wolfsburg's youth academy at age 12 and made his Bundesliga debut with the club during the 2017/18 season, making 28 appearances and scoring two goals before later moving on to Cologne and Bochum. The deal runs through June 2030 regardless of whether Wolfsburg compete in the Bundesliga or the second division next season.
