Patrick Wimmer - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Out until next international break Wimmer has suffered a muscle injury to the back of his thigh and is expected to remain sidelined until the next international break, according to the club.

Impact Wimmer faces several weeks on the sidelines after further examinations confirmed a hamstring injury sustained during his recent international commitments with Austria. The winger had already been ruled out of Saturday's Bundesliga clash against Hamburger SV, and the latest update indicates he will miss several additional fixtures before potentially returning after the next international break. He has made four Bundesliga appearances this season, including two starts, recording nine shots (one on target) across 207 minutes without a goal or an assist. His absence further limits Hoffenheim's attacking options as he works toward recovering from his latest setback.

Impact Wimmer has suffered another fitness setback following the international break, although the nature and severity of his latest injury remain unclear. The winger previously dealt with a thigh issue that forced him to miss Wolfsburg's relegation playoff before returning to competitive action with Austria during the World Cup.

Impact Wimmer ended the club season with four goals, three assists, 16 chances created and 47 tackles across 25 Bundesliga appearances before the injury struck, and his return to ball work is an encouraging development heading into the World Cup.

Signs with Hoffenheim Wimmer has completed a transfer to Hoffenheim from Wolfsburg, according to his new club.

Impact Wimmer is switching clubs this offseason but will remain in Bundesliga play, with the attacker inking a deal with Hoffenheim. This comes after the relegation of Wolfsburg, as he will remain in the first tier of Germany, earning four goals and three assists in 25 appearances (21 starts) last season. This is a major pickup for the squad, as he is a player with decent skill and should improve the attack instantly. However, he is set for a World Cup spell with Austria before joining the team.

Impact Wimmer's absence is a concern for Wolfsburg heading into a crucial fixture with relegation implications still in play. Manager Dieter Hecking's comments suggest the injury is not considered serious enough to rule him out of a potential playoff, which provides some encouragement for the club. Lovro Majer and Mattias Svanberg are the leading candidates to fill in for the Austrian in Saturday's lineup.

Impact Wimmer had been substituted in the 67th minute after receiving lengthy treatment, and the club is awaiting the MRI results before providing any clarity on the extent of the damage.

Impact Wimmer is not going to miss time after a slight injury scare after he was watched limping off the field, instead just tired and needing a break due to fatigue. This will leave the attacker as an option for the club moving forward, a good sign after a recent injury spell. He started in their past three games and will look to return to that role, although he is unlikely to play the full 90.

Impact Wimmer scored early in Saturday's clash against Union Berlin before being forced off in the 69th minute due to an apparent injury, with further tests set to determine the severity of the issue.

He isn't fully match fit yet, though he could still be called upon off the bench if needed.

Still out Wimmer (strain) is out for Sunday's match against Leipzig.

Impact Wimmer is not with his team after the questionable tag, as a strain is still too much to play through. He will now miss a second straight match after holding a starting role for a decent tenure, hopefully an option next match after a close call Sunday.

Impact Wimmer didn't play in the 2-1 loss to Dortmund last week, but he has a concrete chance to return to action this weekend. He's started in all but two of his 17 Bundesliga appearances this season while tallying three goals and three assists. If deemed healthy enough, Wimmer could return to the XI right away.

Could be back Sunday Wimmer (strain) should resume team training Friday and could be an option for Sunday's clash against Leipzig if nothing happens ahead of the game, according to WAZ.

Impact Wimmer has been managing muscular fatigue and was sidelined for the last match against Dortmund because of it, but the attacking midfielder is set to resume individual work Thursday before ramping up to full training Friday with the goal of being available for Sunday's showdown against Leipzig. He is shaping up as a true game-time decision, though reports suggest the club remains optimistic about his chances of suiting up this weekend. That said, if he is unable to go, Adam Daghim is in line to get another start and shoulder the load in his absence.

Ruled out against Dortmund Wimmer (strain) won't answer the call and is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Dortmund, according to WAZ.

Impact Wimmer was expected to be a late call due to muscular fatigue, but it was ultimately confirmed that the attacking midfielder will not be available for the match. This is a significant blow for the wolves, as he had not missed a start since early November, and his absence will force changes to the starting XI. Adam Daghim and Mattias Svanberg emerge as the primary options to fill the void, while Mohammed Amoura could also take on a larger role in the frontline if he returns from his club suspension.

Impact Wimmer is going to need some testing heading into Saturday's match, with the attacker now a late call due to some muscle fatigue. With the forward not missing a start since the beginning of November, this is something to monitor, possibly losing a regular starter. If that were the case, the club has a few replacements available, with Adam Daghim and Mattias Svanberg potentially options.

Misses due to illness Wimmer missed Sunday's 3-2 loss against Hoffenheim due to illness, the club announced.

Impact Wimmer has been dealing with an illness and was ruled out for Sunday's clash against Hoffenheim. The midfielder will be assessed in the coming days to know if he can be back available for Friday's clash against Bremen. That said, he featured 34 minutes off bench since late September, therefore if he had to miss the game, his absence wouldn't impact much the starting squad.
