Due to the violation of stammer goalkeeper Oliver Baumann, TSG 1899 Hoffenheim on Sunday against Eintracht Frankfurt came to a curiosity. Luca Philipp celebrated his Bundesliga debut at the age of 24-as a replacement on the bench, his younger brother Tim Philipp Platz took place.
In the history of the Bundesliga, the Philipps are the 100th pair of brothers, each of which was in the squad in at least one game. There were only 19 of them for the same club on the field. Until Luca and Tim Philipp can also enter this list, some time should pass. More than four years after his first cadre nomination, the former had to wait for an assignment in the Bundesliga, he remained a total of 95 games without commitment.
At the age of 19, his younger brother is actually not yet intended for the professional team and usually plays in the U19-mostly there as a replacement for Benjamin Lade (18). In addition, another keeper is ready with Lúkas Petersson (20), the Icelander is largely used this season in the 2nd team in the Southwest Regionalliga.
