- Hoffenheim's Bebou and Bishop are out for now.
TSG 1899 Hoffenheim will initially have to do without Ihlas Bebou. The striker suffered a capsular irritation in his knee while warming up before the friendly match against FC Fulham last Saturday. The Bundesliga football club announced this. It is not yet known how long the 30-year-old will be out.
Tom Bischof will also be sidelined for the next few days. The 19-year-old midfielder is suffering from a capsular-ligament injury and will definitely not be available for the DFB-Pokal match against Würzburg Kickers on Friday evening.
Despite the injury, TSG 1899 Hoffenheim will still participate in the German Bundesliga. The absence of Ihlas Bebou and Tom Bischof might require adjustments to the team's strategy.
