The TSG 1899 Hoffenheim considers it possible that its injured goalkeeper Oliver Baumann will return before the next international matches. “It is hope that he will be fit again until the next DFB appointment in March,” said coach Christian Ilzer after the 2-2 between the Kraichgauer and Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga.
In the national team, the next encounters on March 20 and 23 in the Nations League are at the first and second leg against Italy. So far, the TSG did not want to comment on the duration of the downtime according to Baumann’s foot injury from last week. According to media reports, it should be four to six weeks.
“It is important that he heals completely”
The forecast of a plantar fascia tear is roughly so, Ilzer said with a view to the period until the international matches. “It is important that he heals completely.” Baumann quickly encouraged courage. The goalkeeper wants to get the best possible out of this phase and quickly fit, “then quickly tackle the sporting goals,” said the Hoffenheim chief coach.
Baumann had suffered the injury in the Europa League game against Tottenham Hotspur. After the long-term failure of Barcelonas Marc-André Ter because of a knee injury, the 34-year-old has a duel with Alexander Nübel (28) from VfB Stuttgart around the place in the DFB goal. So far, both have completed two missions for the team of coach Julian Nagelsmann.
