Starting during return Coufal (thigh) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash against Frankfurt.

Impact Coufal is back in the starting XI to face Frankfurt after shaking off the thigh issue that forced him off late against Leverkusen.

His return is a major boost for Hoffenheim, especially with Valentin Gendrey still sidelined on the right side of the defense.

Grischa Promel could see increased playing time if Coufal has to miss some matches.
