Sebastian Rudy - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Remains bench option Rudy made 22 appearances (six starts) during the final season of his contract with Hoffenheim.

Impact Rudy has not had his contract renewed with Hoffenheim and once again played a minor bench role. The midfielder managed just a single assist in his 786 minutes on the pitch. He did add 41 crosses and 26 tackles, but on the whole Rudy fell out of contention in the starting XI. It's possible his contract is renewed, though if it is not it's likely he would have suitors as a veteran depth option elsewhere in Germany.

Impact Rudy missed the final match of the World Cup with a minor illness but is back with Hoffenheim for training camp. The midfielder will be fully fit for the second half of the Bundesliga, though it's uncertain if he will be a consistent part of the first team, after making just one start.

Impact Rudy was once a nailed-on starting option, but his role continues to decreased as his first start comes in his 10th appearance. The midfielder just hasn't shown the legs to maintain his work rate, a fact that was obvious as he failed to go an hour Sunday. Rudy is a low upside play even when starting, and isn't worth considering from the bench.

The midfielder still scored three goals and added an assists, but with such a minimal role in the team it's hard to expect much from Rudy. He looks like a pure depth option heading into the 2022/23 season, especially as he struggled for playing time even in the midst of an injury-riddled season for Hoffenheim.
