Oliver Baumann - Allows three in second half Baumann allowed three goals while making two saves during Saturday's 3-2 loss to Dortmund.
Impact Baumann allowed all three goals in the second half including the game winner via an own goal in the 86th minute. The keeper has allowed six goals while combining for five saves through the opening two matches this season.

Vladimir Coufal - Assists in defeat Coufal had an assist while taking an off target shot, crossing 11 times (one accurate), creating a chance and making three interceptions during Saturday's 3-2 loss to Dortmund.
Impact Coufal set up Leon Avdullahu for the opening goal in the 45th minute while leading Hoffenheim in crosses and interceptions during the defeat. Coufal has combined for two assists, five chances created and 22 crosses over his first two starts this season with his role on set pieces making him one of the best attacking fullbacks in the Bundesliga.

Leon Avdullahu - Nets first career Bundesliga goal Avdullahu scored a goal with his lone shot while creating two chances during Saturday's 3-2 loss to Dortmund.
Impact Avdullahu opened the scoring in the 45th minute while finishing with the second most chances created on the team. The goal was the first in the midfielder's Bundesliga career after 33 appearances without one last season as he's combined for three shots, five tackles and three interceptions through the opening two matches of this campaign.

Tim Lemperle - Avoids serious injury Lemperle was forced off in the 84th minute of Saturday's 3-2 loss to Borussia Dortmund after leaving the pitch limping, though he downplayed the issue after the match, per Sky Spor...
Impact Lemperle appeared to pick up the issue while sliding on his knees during a goal celebration and after a subsequent fall, with his knees visibly bleeding after the match. His post-match comments suggest the problem is minor rather than an injury likely to cause an absence, and there is currently little indication that his availability for the Sept. 12 clash against Stuttgart will be affected.

Koki Machida - Still working on fitness Machida is still lacking fitness to begin the season, according to manager Christian Ilzer. "Koki Machida still lacks match fitness."
Impact Machida suffered a torn ACL in the season opener last season and did not recover in time to make the season opener this campaign, with the defender still not fit for a full role. That said, he could be in time for some minutes from the bench, although nothing is confirmed at the moment. He started in the season opener last season before the injury, so he hopes to earn that role back.

Andrej Kramaric - Still lacking fitness Kramaric is still lacking fitness following an operation this summer, according to Christian Ilzer. "As for Andrej, he has fully recovered from his operation, but both he and Koki...
Impact Kramaric had to undergo a groin operation this summer and has struggled to gain full fitness to begin this season, still seemingly working on his match fitness. This will likely keep the midfielder from starting once again, only earning a bench spot in the opener. He was at the World Cup, so he was expected to need more time either way, hopefully pushing for starting time again soon after 26 starts last season.
4 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Fisnik Asllani - Another game out Asllani (undisclosed) is progressing but remains out for Hoffenheim, according to manager Christian Ilzer. "Fisnik is making great progress, but he's not quite ready for the squad...
Impact Asllani is still not an option for Hoffenheim as they open the season, with the forward still not fully recovered from an undisclosed injury. It appears the club will take his return cautiously, although the hope remains he can fully train next week. This could then lead to a return in the third match of the season when facing Stuttgart on Sept. 12, likely to be a bench option once fit.
4 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Alexander Prass - Trains partially, remains out Prass (undisclosed) has trained with his teammates partially but remains out due to injury, according to manager Christian Ilzer. "Alex is still injured but has already taken part...
Impact Prass is making more progress this week as he returns to team training, although it was only partially, leaving him outside the group ready to play this week. This will force him out for a second straight match, with the midfielder likely to close in on a return next contest when facing Stuttgart on Sept. 12. Once he does return, he will likely be a bench option, seemingly a bit down the pecking order.
4 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Vladimir Coufal - Assists in season opener Coufal assisted once to go with 11 crosses (three accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 3-2 defeat versus 1. FC Koln.
Impact Coufal started his season off very well Saturday, highlighted by his assist on Ozan Kabak's header in the 67th minute. It was one of a team-high four chances he created, and he also recorded a team-high 11 crosses in the loss. He recorded eight assists in 34 starts last season and looks primed to be a major contributor again this season.
AUGUST 30 • ROTOWIRE
Bambase Conte - Assists in season opener Conte assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal), three crosses (two accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 3-2 loss to 1. FC Koln.
Impact Conte made his first Bundesliga start Saturday after multiple seasons as a squad player or out on loan from Hoffenheim. It was an excellent start to the season from him as he assisted Adam Daghim's opener in the 27th minute. It was one of three chances he created and he also recorded two accurate crosses and two off-target shots. He completed the full 90 minutes, establishing a prominent role early in the season.
AUGUST 30 • ROTOWIRE
Adam Daghim - Scores in club debut Daghim scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), six crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-2 loss against 1. FC Koln.
Impact Daghim made his first appearance for Hoffenheim Saturday after joining the club in the summer from Red Bull Salzburg. He seems to like his new shirt as he scored just 27 minutes into his debut, an outside-the-box strike assisted by Bambase Conte. It was the only shot he took in the match, but he also provided six crosses and one chance created on the attack. He contributed defensively too, recording three interceptions, one tackle and one clearance before he was subbed off in the 87th minute.
AUGUST 30 • ROTOWIRE
Ozan Kabak - Scores in opener Kabak scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 3-2 defeat against 1. FC Koln. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 83...
Impact Kabak opened up the new Bundesliga strongly, scoring a header in the 67th minute to take the 2-1 lead. He's scored four goals in each of his last two healthy Bundesliga campaigns so he's off to a strong start to reach three in a row. He was solid defensively as well, recording seven clearances, two blocked shots and one tackle in his full 90 minutes of action.
AUGUST 30 • ROTOWIRE
Oliver Baumann - Concedes three in opener Baumann made three saves and allowed three goals in Saturday's 3-2 loss against 1. FC Koln.
Impact Baumann's 12th season as Hoffenheim's goalkeeper got underway Saturday, but the 36-year-old's campaign got off to a poor start. He conceded three goals in the loss, all three of which came in the second half. It was by no means his best performance, but also one that the veteran can quickly bounce back from. He'll look to do just that in the home opener versus Dortmund on Saturday.
AUGUST 30 • ROTOWIRE
Tim Lemperle - Clears suspension Lemperle is available again after serving his one-match suspension during Saturday's Bundesliga opener against Koln.
Impact Lemperle returns to contention after being forced to sit out the opening match due to a suspension carried over from last season. The forward recorded eight goals and two assists across 29 Bundesliga appearances in 2025/26, highlighting the attacking production he can provide when available. His return adds another proven option to Hoffenheim's frontline, and Lemperle should immediately compete with Adam Hlozek and the other attacking options for a starting role.
AUGUST 30 • ROTOWIRE
Andrej Kramaric - Finds bench role Kramaric (groin) is on the bench for Saturday's season opener against Koln.
Impact Kramaric returned to the matchday squad after two weeks of training at full intensity following the groin surgery he underwent in early July, with coach Christian Ilzer confirming his availability despite the lengthy layoff that had forced him to miss the entire preseason and the DFB-Pokal win over Erzgebirge Aue. Hoffenheim opted to manage his workload carefully with a bench role rather than throwing him straight into the starting lineup after such an extended absence, with his return to the XI expected to follow as he builds his match sharpness over the opening fixtures of the campaign.
AUGUST 29 • ROTOWIRE
Fisnik Asllani - Not ready for opener Asllani (undisclosed) will not be an option for Saturday's season opener against Koln, according to coach Christian Ilzer. "Fisnik will not yet be ready for the group, but he is do...
Impact Asllani has missed Hoffenheim's major part of preseason as he worked through an individualized training program, an interrupted preseason stemming from a proposed move to RB Leipzig that fell through over medical concerns. His gradual buildup means he remains behind his teammates in physical conditioning, and Adam Hlozek figures to deputize for him as Asllani continues working back toward full fitness.
AUGUST 28 • ROTOWIRE
Andrej Kramaric - Should be available for opener Kramaric (groin) has been training at full intensity for the past two weeks and is progressing very well, and should be available for Saturday's season opener against Koln, accordi...
Impact Kramaric's steady progress comes after missing the entire preseason and the DFB Pokal win over Erzgebirge Aue following groin surgery in early July, making this stretch of full training a significant step in his recovery. His expected availability for the opener is an encouraging sign for Hoffenheim, even if his workload may still need to be managed carefully after such a lengthy layoff.
AUGUST 28 • ROTOWIRE
Alexander Prass - Still out, but progressing well Prass (undisclosed) is ruled out for Saturday's season opener against Koln, though progressing well, according to coach Christian Ilzer. "He will be back soon, he is progressively...
Impact Prass had already missed the DFB Pokal match against Erzgebirge Aue due to the same issue, as well as a preseason friendly loss to Tottenham before that. His continued absence extends his layoff further, though manager Ilzer's encouraging update on his progress suggests a return should not be too far off as Hoffenheim manages his recovery.
AUGUST 28 • ROTOWIRE
Andrej Kramaric - Could return Saturday Kramaric (groin) completed his first full team training session Tuesday following groin surgery and could be available for Saturday's Bundesliga opener against FC Koln, according t...
Impact Kramaric took another significant step in his recovery Tuesday after missing the entire preseason and the DFB-Pokal win over Erzgebirge Aue following surgery in early July. The forward indicated that he could make the bench Saturday if his recovery continues to progress, though his availability has yet to be confirmed. Even if included, Kramaric is unlikely to be ready for a full workload after his lengthy absence, with the following match against Borussia Dortmund offering another potential return date if the Koln clash comes too soon.
AUGUST 26 • ROTOWIRE
Andrej Kramaric - Nearing return, could feature vs Cologne Kramaric is making strong progress after his groin surgery but a return for Saturday's German Cup match against Erzgebirge Aue still comes too soon, according to coach Christian Il...
Impact Kramaric only rejoined the Hoffenheim squad at the start of last week following his procedure and had been working through an individualized program, so this update marks a real step forward now that he's largely completed full team training sessions. Manager Christian Ilzer described him as definitely already a topic for the squad ahead of next week's Bundesliga opener against Koln, though his progress over the coming training week will still need to be monitored, with the coach adding that the Croatian is now feeling very good.
AUGUST 21 • ROTOWIRE
Alexander Prass - Ruled out of cup opener Prass (muscular) will miss Hoffenheim's German Cup match against Erzgebirge Aue due to a muscular issue, according to coach Christian Ilzer. "He has a small muscular issue in his a...
Impact Prass had already missed Sunday's 3-0 friendly loss to Tottenham with the same problem, and his continued absence now confirms he won't be ready for the cup opener either, though manager Christian Ilzer's measured description doesn't suggest anything serious. Prass is expected to continue his recovery in the coming days, with no firm timeline given for his return to full training.
AUGUST 21 • ROTOWIRE
Andrej Kramaric - Working through individual program Kramaric is working through an individualized training program following his groin surgery and is not yet ready for competitive action, according to kicker.
Impact Kramaric only rejoined the Hoffenheim squad at the start of last week after his procedure, and he sat out both closing friendlies against Tottenham as he continued his separate program. The 35-year-old is being brought back gradually given the length of his layoff, with no fixed timeline yet for a return to full team training. Kramaric is expected to miss Saturday's German Cup opener at Erzgebirge Aue, and there's currently no indication he'll be ready for the Bundesliga opener at Cologne the following week either. His full reintegration into team training remains the next step to watch before any return to matchday squads.
AUGUST 17 • ROTOWIRE
Fisnik Asllani - Season start looks premature Asllani has not featured in Hoffenheim's last two friendlies against Tottenham, including Sunday's 2-2 draw, and is instead working through an individualized training program, acco...
Impact Asllani's absence stems from an interrupted preseason after a proposed move to RB Leipzig fell through over medical concerns, leaving him behind his teammates in physical conditioning. The 24-year-old forward now needs to make up the missed training load before he can be considered for a return to the matchday squad. Asllani is expected to sit out Saturday's German Cup opener at third-division side Erzgebirge Aue as he continues building back toward full fitness. Adam Hlozek, who scored from the penalty spot against Tottenham, could deputize in Asllani's absence for the cup tie.
AUGUST 17 • ROTOWIRE
Alexander Prass - Sits out with muscular issues Prass (muscular) missed Sunday's 3-0 friendly loss to Tottenham due to muscular problems, according to the club.
Impact Prass' absence from Hoffenheim's final preseason dress rehearsal comes exactly one week before the club's first competitive match of the season, a DFB Pokal tie at Erzgebirge Aue. It remains unclear how quickly the left wing back can rejoin full team training. Prass is expected to be reassessed as the club continues preparations for the cup opener.
AUGUST 16 • ROTOWIRE
Koki Machida - Back fit to play Machida (groin) is on the bench for Saturday's friendly against Tottenham, according to the club.
Impact Machida had been dealing with osteitis pubis that developed during his ACL rehabilitation, a complication coach Christian Ilzer had described as unpredictable in its development. His inclusion on the matchday squad now marks an encouraging step forward, though his overall recovery timeline remains something to monitor as he continues working back toward full fitness.
