Bundesliga - Hoffenheim face many absences for the match in Leipzig

TSG 1899 Hoffenheim have "a longer list" of sick and injured players ahead of their Bundesliga match at RB Leipzig. Coach Pellegrino Matarazzo said this at the Kraichgau club's press conference on Thursday. In attack, not only Wout Weghorst, Maximilian Beier and the long-term injured Mergim Berisha are missing: Ihlas Bebou is again plagued by knee problems. He was rested this week.

"We have several sick players, including Maxi Beier. I hope that one or the other will join us in training by the end of the week," said Matarazzo. This also applies to regular Kevin Vogt as well as Diadie Samassékou and Julian Justvan.

In addition, midfielders Anton Stach and Florian Grillitsch have picked up knocks. Talented Umut Tohumcu has problems with his ankle. However, Ozan Kabak, who has been struggling recently, and Kevin Akpoguma, who was suspended for the win against Bochum, are back in defense. "That's a long list today, but I'm sure we'll have a strong squad on the pitch," said Matarazzo, whose team have won five of their seven away games so far.
