Impact Hoffmeier remains sidelined after suffering a muscle fiber tear in his left thigh while playing for Paderborn's U21 side in late September. The defender missed the previous Bundesliga clash against Werder Bremen and has been working toward regaining fitness through individual rehabilitation exercises. Kettemann had previously estimated that Hoffmeier would need another two to three weeks before resuming team training, suggesting he is still some way from returning to competitive action. No definitive comeback date has been established, leaving Paderborn without an additional defensive option against Hamburg.

Impact Awortwie-Grant has taken another significant step in his recovery from a right knee lateral collateral ligament injury sustained in July, completing a full team session after recently resuming partial training. The 26-year-old center-back remains short of match fitness following his lengthy absence, with Paderborn planning to gradually increase his workload over the next one to three weeks before potentially giving him one or two appearances with the under-21 side. He has yet to make his competitive debut for the club since joining during the summer, and his return to first-team action is not expected to be immediate.

Oliver Batista Meier - Set to miss at least three matches Batista Meier (ankle) is expected to miss at least Paderborn's next three matches after suffering an ankle ligament injury during training last Thursday, according to coach Ralf Ke...

Impact Batista Meier suffered an ankle ligament injury during Thursday's training session, forcing him to miss the 2-2 draw against Werder Bremen. Although the attacking midfielder is already able to walk without pain, his recovery timeline remains uncertain, with the injury expected to keep him sidelined throughout the upcoming three-match stretch. He is likely to miss Saturday's Bundesliga clash against Hamburger SV, Tuesday's DFB-Pokal encounter against Stuttgart and the following league fixture against Borussia Monchengladbach. His return will depend on how his ankle responds to treatment, with Paderborn set to remain without another attacking option for at least the next week.

Impact Klaas has hit another roadblock in his bid to make his season debut after overcoming an adductor issue, with fresh discomfort in the back of his thigh delaying his return to competitive action. Coach Ralf Kettemann indicated that the problem isn't as serious as before and expects the midfielder to push toward a return to team training in the near future, though no firm timetable has been established.

Impact Hoffmeier picked up a muscle fiber tear in his left thigh with the U21 in late September and has now moved into individual running as his recovery continues ahead of schedule. The defender was already completing running drills around the training pitch Wednesday, with coach Ralf Kettemann expecting him to return to team training in two to three weeks. A return to the squad could therefore come later in October if his recovery continues on its current path, though he will first need to progress from individual work back into full team training.
