SINSHEIM, Germany (AP) — Hoffenheim and Germany goalkeeper Oliver Baumann has been ruled out for several weeks with a foot injury.
Hoffenheim said Saturday that Bauman injured a tendon in his foot during the Europa League home defeat against Tottenham.
“This is a sour setback for all of us,” said Hoffenheim sports director Andreas Schicker. “OLI will not be able to help us in the field as a captain in the future, but thanks to his strong personality, he will continue to play the same vital role in the team and the total team, especially in those difficult times. “
Hoffenheim finished 15th in the 18-team Bundesliga, right outdoors in the relegation zone, before the 19th round of matches. Hoffenheim will welcome Eintracht Frankfurt on Sunday.
The 34-year-old Baumann played two games for Germany last year and was seen as an alternative to Alexander Nübel while Barcelona’s Marc-André ter Stegen recovers from a serious knee injury.
