After more than a month: Kramaric returns to Hoffenheim
Croatian international Andrej Kramaric is set to return to Bundesliga club TSG 1899 Hoffenheim. "We are pleased with two reports regarding Stanley Nsoki and Andrej Kramaric. These are two players who are training with us and are options for a place in the squad tomorrow," said coach Pellegrino Matarazzo at the Kraichgau club's press conference on Friday. The 32-year-old Kramaric has recently been struggling with a serious muscle injury and was unable to play in the Bundesliga games as well as the European Championship qualifiers in October.
Hoffenheim will face league leaders Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday (3.30 pm/Sky). Winger Pavel Kaderabek and midfielder Florian Grillitsch will not be available due to injury, as Matarazzo reported. The TSG head coach has the greatest respect for Leverkusen and coach Xabi Alonso. "They are ready for a title. You can see that every week," said Matarazzo. Leverkusen, champions FC Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund are the last remaining unbeaten teams in the current Bundesliga season.
TSG 1899 Hoffenheim, with the return of Andrej Kramaric, will aim to pose a challenge to league leaders Bayer Leverkusen in their upcoming Bundesliga match. Despite the absence of Pavel Kaderabek and Florian Grillitsch due to injuries, coach Pellegrino Matarazzo holds Leverkusen and Xabi Alonso in high regard, acknowledging their title contention in the current Bundesliga season.
