Squad

Bazoumana Touré breaks a bone — 67 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 67 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad

Robert Busch damages knee ligaments — 70 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 70 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Market

TSG Hoffenheim say no — this time

The offer from Hamburger SV for Vincent Müller was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Market

So close: Gregor Lehmann’s move dies late

The fee was agreed and the flight was looked at — and then the phone stopped ringing. Mainz 05 moved on, Gregor Lehmann reports back to TSG Hoffenheim, and everybody pretends Monday is just Monday.

Squad

Patrick Wimmer falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad

Max Moerstedt 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.

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Robert Busch

92 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. TSG Hoffenheim lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad

Robin Hranáč has been here 12 seasons

107 appearances across 12 seasons in one shirt. Nobody builds a career like that on purpose any more; it happens to a certain kind of footballer at a certain kind of club.

Squad

Tim Lemperle signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Tim Lemperle commits to TSG Hoffenheim for another 2 years.

Market

Only the photograph left for Helmut Hahn

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Helmut Hahn will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around TSG Hoffenheim the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad

Words at TSG Hoffenheim training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Patrick Wimmer is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Market

The Gregor Lehmann conversation is coming

Everyone has stopped pretending: Mainz 05 will make the call about Gregor Lehmann this week. TSG Hoffenheim have a number in mind, and the number is not shy.
