Team News

Hoffenheim
Stuttgart
  • Head Coach Christian Ilzer has a lengthy injury list to contend with, but the wonderfully-named Gift Orban could present extra speed up front.
  • Umut Tohumcu is struggling with an ankle injury, and keeper Oliver Baumann will be out for several weeks with a foot injury. Adam Hlozek is likely to miss this one with a knock, but Valentin Gendrey is likely to return to the squad after recovering from problems with his adductors.
  • Ozan Kabak is ruled out with an ACL injury, while Grischa Prömel has also suffered an ACL tear and could miss the rest of the season. Ihlas Bebou is on his way back from a knee operation.
  • Diadié Samassékou has a thigh injury, while Haris Tabakovic has a knee problem.
  • Vagnoman may lose his spot to Stergiou at right-back, while Jacob Bruun Larsen has recovered from illness and could take his place in the squad against his former club.
  • Deniz Undav, Ermedin Demirovic and Nick Woltemade are good options to have up your sleeve in the final third.
  • Ameen Al Dakhil is close to a return from a thigh injury, while El Bilal Touré is back in training after a foot injury.
  • Dan-Axel Zagadou has suffered another knee injury, while Luca Raimund needs an op and will be out for several months.

  • After a surprise home defeat, Stuttgart, runners-up last term, now lie in fifth, stuttering in their quest to secure a Champions League spot once again.
