Hoffenheim is facing an important weekend in the Bundesliga. The Kraichgauer are currently in fifth place in the table, 28 points behind the leaders Bayern München. Last week, they suffered a heavy defeat against Borussia Mönchengladbach (4-0). Currently, they are in fifth place in the table, with 61 points from 34 games, and have a positive goal difference of +13.
What happened?
The striker Fisnik Asllani was close to joining Hoffenheim from RB Leipzig, but the deal was stopped due to medical concerns. Asllani had undergone examinations in Salzburg on Thursday, but the concerns of the Leipzig doctors cannot be resolved through a quick rehabilitation.
Why is this important for Hoffenheim?
Asllani's stay is an important point for Hoffenheim. The striker was at the top of his game in the previous season and had scored 11 goals and 10 assists. The sale of Asllani would have been economically significant for Hoffenheim, but the striker's stay is a significant success for the Kraichgauer.
What comes next?
Hoffenheim will continue to play in the Bundesliga and try to improve their position in the table. Currently, they are in fifth place, but they can still catch up. The transfer of Asllani is, however, stopped, and it remains to be seen whether the striker will return to Hoffenheim in the future.
Andrej Kramarić is currently injured and will not play in the next game. Hoffenheim will, however, continue to play with their remaining players and try to improve their position in the table.
