HeidenheimScores and assists on Sunday
Ibrahimovic scored one goal and assisted once from two shots and three chances created in Sunday's 3-1 win against 1. FC Koln.
Analysis: Ibrahimovic set up Jan Schoppner's headed opener in the eighth minute and then scored himself in the 28th minute. He also recorded four tackles, one clearance, and one interception. Ibrahimovic has now registered goal contributions in back-to-back games and has reached six goal contributions for the campaign.
Assists in draw
Ibrahimovic assisted once to go with three crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 3-3 draw against Bayern Munich.
Analysis: Ibrahimovic provided a single assist that proved to be crucial during Saturday's draw. He was excellent throughout the match, and made the most of his role on set-pieces. The winger is only up to four goal contributions on the season, but has come on strong in the back half of the campaign.
Makes starting XI
Ibrahimovic (illness) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash against Bayern Munich.
Analysis: Ibrahimovic passed his late fitness test after manager Frank Schmidt expressed hope he would be able to rejoin training Friday, earning a starting role despite the illness that had disrupted his week. The forward has started 22 matches this season and is a critical piece of Heidenheim's attack, and his clearance spares the coach from having to turn to other options on the right flank or in the attacking midfield role. His ability to come through the game-time decision in good shape is a significant boost for a side facing a tough test against Bayern.
Dealt illness
Ibrahimovic is dealing with an illness and is questionable for Saturday's match against Bayern Munich, according to manager Frank Schmidt. "Arijon was sick this week. But I hope he can join again tomorrow."
Analysis: Ibrahimovic is going to need some late testing ahead of Saturday's match, hoping he can train Friday and make the team sheet after an illness. This will likely depend on how he feels when waking up on Sunday, making it a true game time decison. He is a starting forward on the team, so this could be a critical loss, starting in 22 games. If he does miss out, Eren Dinkci should remain on the right flank or as an attacking midfielder in Ibrahimovic's spot.
