- In the context of Hoffenheim, Bebou's absence is extended.
Hoffenheim's striker Ihlas Bebou, the Togo international, will be sidelined for a while longer in the upcoming Bundesliga season. The club confirmed this following his knee surgery over the weekend, right before their opening league game against Holstein Kiel on Saturday.
During the pre-warmup for their friendly against FC Fulham, Bebou sustained an injury. This injury kept him from participating in Hoffenheim's cup victory against Würzburg Kickers, and the club hasn't shared any estimates regarding his return. With the departures of Maximilian Beier and Wout Weghorst, and now Bebou's injury, Hoffenheim is currently short-handed up front. However, they've added Czech national striker Adam Hlozek to their roster, recently acquired from Bayer Leverkusen.
Despite the setback, Hoffenheim managed to secure a victory in their cup match against Würzburg Kiel on Monday, showcasing their resilience. The weekend following this triumph, the team will hope for Bebou's quick recovery to strengthen their attacking line once again.
