Out Sunday Hefti (hip) is out for Sunday's trip to Union Berlin, according to manager Merlin Polzin.

Impact Hefti is going to be out for at least on more match due to the hip injury he suffered before last weeks' Heidenheim clash. The defender is a depth option at best and has yet to play this season even when fit. Hefti's next chance is an Oct. 5 clash with Mainz.

Impact Hefti will miss the season opener as he deals with an injury, left on the sidelines because of a strain. That said, the club has given little more on his status, leaving a return up in the air. He is a bit down the pecking order, so this should only be a minor loss for the club.

AUGUST 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Genoa will face Verona away after the break.
