There were two setbacks for TSG Hoffenheim on Saturday. In addition to the 1:3 home defeat, Grischa Prömel had to be sent off due to injury just 15 minutes after the start of the game.
The 27-year-old midfielder had to be treated for a long time after a collision with team-mate Christoph Baumgartner and then carried off the field on a stretcher. Head coach Andre Breitenreiter announced shortly after the end of the game that Prömel had suffered a serious injury.
“Unfortunately, the suspicion was confirmed: Grischa Prömel was seriously injured, he has a fractured ankle. Further investigations must show whether the ligaments are damaged,” said the head coach.
It is quite possible that Prömel will miss a large part of the rest of the season due to this injury. The club will probably release more detailed information about the injury after further investigations on Sunday.
