Valentin Gendrey - Suffers fibula fracture, out long-term Gendrey (leg) suffered a fractured left fibula during Wednesday's DFB-Pokal encounter against Holstein Kiel and is expected to face an extended spell on the sidelines, according to...

Impact Gendrey has been dealt a significant injury setback after sustaining a fibula fracture following a challenge during Wednesday's cup fixture. The French right-back was forced off in the 33rd minute, leaving the pitch in tears while being assisted by medical staff. Although Hoffenheim have confirmed the fracture and a lengthy absence, no specific recovery timeline has been established. Gendrey has primarily served as a backup to Vladimir Coufal this season and has yet to make a start, meaning his absence should have little impact on the preferred starting lineup but will reduce Hoffenheim's defensive depth for the foreseeable future. He ends the season with three appearances across all competitions, logging in two tackles and three clearances in 53 minutes.

Impact Lemperle made his competitive return Wednesday after recovering from the thigh issue that kept him out against Leverkusen. The forward was included in the starting lineup against Kiel and completed 45 minutes before being substituted at halftime. His involvement suggests he has made sufficient progress to resume competitive action, and should remain an option for Hoffenheim's upcoming fixtures, provided he experiences no further discomfort, with Adam Daghim offering an alternative in attack if needed.

Impact Gendrey suffered an apparent left ankle injury against Holstein Kiel after a foul left him with lower-leg pain, forcing him off in the 33rd minute while being supported by medical staff. There is no confirmed diagnosis or recovery timeline yet, leaving his availability for upcoming matches uncertain pending further assessment.
