Impact Baumgartner was able to recover well following a minor knee operation in July. If the midfielder is able to train with no issue, he could be in contention to start, though will have to compete with Eljif Elmas for that role following the departure of Dani Olmo. Baumgartner managed to start 11 times in 32 appearances in league play in 2023/24, totaling five goals with one assist.
