January 14, 2026
Waldschmidt is on the bench for Wednesday's match against Bayern Munich.
ANALYSIS
Waldschmidt was not with the team in the last match after an altercation with his coach, but is back in the team Wednesday, with the attacker as an option from the bench. He lost out on a starting role after his last two appearances were starts, potentially still being reprimanded for his actions. He will look to work back into the role, with three goals and two assists this season.
