Squad23 Nov 2026

The knee: Oliver Baumann out for 20 days

20 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. TSG Hoffenheim lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Squad23 Nov 2026

99 days out for Tim Lemperle after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. TSG Hoffenheim will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Squad23 Nov 2026

Elia Caprile stands alone

11 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Match18 Nov 2026

The small margins put TSG Hoffenheim out

Out, 2‑3 to Eintracht Frankfurt, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

The dugout23 Nov 2026

Samu Aghehowa says TSG Hoffenheim went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Player ratings23 Nov 2026

What a way to start for Stefan Hofmann — 7.86

1 on the scoresheet on his first appearance and a mark of 7.86 beside it. Most debuts are got through; this one was enjoyed, by him and by everybody watching it.

Player ratings23 Nov 2026

A brace, and Ross Barkley takes the afternoon — 8.40

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Ross Barkley provided it, and the 8.40 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Player ratings23 Nov 2026

Nobody could get near Alexander Prass

Successful dribbles: 29. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings23 Nov 2026

Age has not caught Andrej Kramarić yet — 8.65

At 35 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.65 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

TSG Hoffenheim rebuffed over Christoph Baumgartner

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. RB Leipzig have kept their man, and TSG Hoffenheim go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

TSG Hoffenheim bid $13.5M for Max Finkgräfe

The offer went to RB Leipzig this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

An offer of $7.5M for Andrija Maksimović

TSG Hoffenheim have gone to RB Leipzig with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Market24 Aug 2026

Mainz 05 come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and TSG Hoffenheim did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

TSG Hoffenheim bid $4.8M for Fabio Chiarodia

The offer went to Borussia Mönchengladbach this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Market24 Aug 2026

TSG Hoffenheim bring in Samu Aghehowa from Porto for the long haul

A squad is not eleven players and a wish. Samu Aghehowa arrives from Porto to make the number up properly, and the value of that will be argued about in March rather than today.

Boardroom24 Aug 2026

TSG Hoffenheim go back to the board over Fabio Chiarodia

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $5.1M — a club that wants Fabio Chiarodia enough to be asked twice.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Ozan Kabak in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at TSG Hoffenheim this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad24 Aug 2026

No place for Samu Aghehowa in the new shape

He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation TSG Hoffenheim are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.

In brief
