Dennis Geiger - Available off bench Friday Geiger (thigh) is on the bench for Friday's game against Wolfsburg.

Impact Geiger missed the clash against Gladbach due to a thigh contusion, but the injury wasn't severe, so he returns after a one-game absence. He should be an option to see minutes off the bench in this contest, but with seven starts all season long, his fantasy upside shouldn't be very high.

Oliver Baumann - Could start against Wolfsburg Baumann (concussion) could start in goal for Friday's clash against Wolfsburg, coach Christian Ilzer said in the press conference.

Impact Baumann will be assessed after the final training session on Thursday, but he could return in goal Friday against Wolfsburg if deemed fit. If not, Luca Philipp is expected to replace him again between the posts.

Dennis Geiger - Dealing with thigh injury Geiger was ruled out of Saturday's clash against Gladbach due to a contusion in his thigh, according to the club.

Impact Geiger started their last contest against Dortmund, replacing Tom Bischof in the midfield while he served a suspension, but ultimately missed Saturday's clash due to a contusion in his thigh. He will likely be assessed in the coming days to determine the extent of the issue and whether he has to miss time. That said, with the young star back from suspension, Geiger will likely return to a bench spot even if fully fit.

Impact 1899 Hoffenheim logged three second-half goals, and all of them were assisted by Kramaric. By helping Marius Bulter, Adam Hlozek and Haris Tabakovic get on the scoresheet, Kramaric also multiplied his assist tally by more than 1.5 and securing a 19 G/A this season as the 2024-25 Hoffenheim team looks to conclude its regular-season schedule.

Arthur Chaves - Contributes to goal fest Chaves scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 4-4 draw against Monchengladbach.

Impact Defensively, Chaves was part of a center-back trio that struggled against Monchengladbach. At least on his part, he helped 1899 Hoffenheim secure a point by scoring a goal himself. Chaves has not scored any other time this season, so his recent achievement is expected to be a one-off.

Haris Tabakovic - Begins month with reserve goal Tabakovic scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 4-4 draw versus Monchengladbach.

Impact April was a rough month for Tabakovic. After beginning it with three consecutive ineffective starts, he was demoted, a role situation that continued Saturday. But by logging a goal Saturday, Tabakovic will look to finish his 2024-25 season on a high note.

This is the second time he has done that this season, the first time coming back in January, which is also when he last scored before his recent span of appearances. This season, Hlozek has eight goals for 1899 Hoffenheim, and the scoring tally is more than that he logged between his 2022-23 and 2023-24 Bundesliga seasons as part of Bayer Leverkusen, who got seven goals out of him before his transfer.

Marius Bulter - Logs another goal Bulter scored one goal to go with five shots (one on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 4-4 draw versus Monchengladbach.

Impact Akpoguma is fit again despite seeing the doubtful tag heading into the contest, as the defender does see a spot on the bench.

Impact Akpoguma was forced off early in their last contest due to injury and resumed light training only on Thursday, making him a real doubt for Saturday's game.

Ihlas Bebou - Training partially Tuesday Bebou (knee) completed parts of training with the team on Tuesday, the club announced.

Impact Bebou is progressing well in the recovery from a long term knee injury and is not far from returning to the pitch after training partially with the team on Tuesday. His return could happen before the end of the season if everything goes as planned. He played a key role in the starting XI during the 2023-24 season but has been sidelined for the entire campaign. Even if he returns before the season ends Bebou would probably be limited to a reduced role at first.

Oliver Baumann - Saves PK, allows three in loss Baumann made six saves and conceded three goals during Saturday's 3-2 loss against Borussia Dortmund.

Impact Baumann had a lot of work against a superior opponent and made several key interventions to keep his team in contention as much as he could, even stopping a penalty kick by Serhou Guirassy in the first half. However, the goalkeeper couldn't do much to prevent the opposition from scoring three times, with the last goal coming deep into second half stoppage time. This was the third time over the last four games that Baumann allowed three goals and he'll try to bounce back during next Saturday's visit to Borussia Monchengladbach.

David Jurasek - Logs assist off bench in loss Jurasek made an assist and sent in two crosses (one accurate) during Saturday's 3-2 loss against Borussia Dortmund.

Impact Jurasek was brought in the 71st minute as part of a double substitution and went largely unnoticed until the 90th minute, when he used a perfect free-kick cross to assist Pavel Kaderabek for his team's second goal. This was the second assist of the season for the left-back, who became more like a significant member of the squad since the calendar flipped to 2025.

Impact Kaderabek returned to the starting XI after coming off the bench just once through the previous three games and made most of the opportunity. In the 90th minute, the full-back appeared unmarked at the far post to head home a free-kick cross from the left and score what looked to be a definitive equalizer. This was the first goal of the season for Kaderabek, who will hope to have done enough to remain a starter for the rest of the campaign.

Anton Stach - Logs assist in loss Stach delivered an assist, had one off-target shot, created two chances, made two tackles, six clearances and three interceptions and was shown a yellow card during Saturday's 3-2...

Impact Stach had another solid display on the defensive side of the ball and went even further here, assisting Adam Hlozek for his team's first goal just after the hour mark. Offensive contributions aren't common at all for the midfielder, who, on the other hand, is one of his team's steadiest performers at the less glamourous end, with 16 tackles, 38 clearances and 17 interceptions over his last eight starts.
