AugsburgWill miss season finale
Giannoulis (muscular) has been confirmed with a muscle injury and will miss Saturday's season finale against Union Berlin, according to coach Manuel Baum. "Dimi has a muscle injury and will be sidelined."
Analysis: Giannoulis ends what has been a career-best campaign with two goals, five assists, 34 chances created and 66 clearances across 27 Bundesliga appearances, setting career highs across the board before the injury forced him off in the 14th minute of last weekend's win over Gladbach. Marius Wolf, Elvis Rexhbecaj or Anton Kade are the most likely candidates to cover on the left flank for the final fixture of Augsburg's season.
Exits in first few minutes
Giannoulis was forced off the field in the 14th minute of Saturday's 3-1 win over Gladbach due to an injury.
Analysis: Giannoulis looks to have suffered at least a worrying injury Saturday, as after only 14 minutes on the field, he was forced off. This will be something to monitor in the coming days, as it could very well end his season with only a match to play. He is a starter on the left, so if he does miss time, Maruis Wolf, Elvis Rexhbecaj or Anton Kade will start in his place.
Late call for Gladbach clash
Giannoulis (undisclosed) is among the players with a question mark over their availability for Saturday's clash against Gladbach, though coach Manuel Baum said there are no serious concerns and a final decision will be made Friday. "Currently, there are no fixed absences, but there are still question marks behind six players. However, these are nothing serious, though the final decision will only be made tomorrow. Then it will become clear who will ultimately be available to us."
Analysis: Giannoulis had contributed an assist before being forced off with a knock in the 66th minute of last weekend's win over Werder Bremen, raising doubts over his fitness heading into the weekend. The left-back is expected to resume his starting role on the flank if cleared, with the club monitoring his condition through Friday's final session before making a definitive call on his involvement.
Assists, leaves injured
Giannoulis had an assist but left with a knock during Saturday's 3-1 win over Werder Bremen.
Analysis: GIannoulis set up Anton Kade in first half stoppage time for Augsburg's second goal before leaving with a knock in the 66th. The fullback's status for next week's clash with Gladbach is in question.
