Hoffenheim at 1. FC Köln without the sick captain Hübner

Zuzenhausen (dpa) – Bundesliga soccer club TSG 1899 Hoffenheim has to do without captain Benjamin Hübner in the away game at 1. FC Köln.

According to coach Sebastian Hoeneß, the 32-year-old defender is ill. Hübner’s neighbor Kevin Vogt, who was recently absent due to a thigh injury, has a “remaining hope” that he will return to the team on Sunday (5:30 p.m. / DAZN).

It is unclear whether Dennis Geiger is back in the squad. The midfielder was dazed in the last win against VfB Stuttgart and was substituted with a suspected head injury. “He’s fine, he has no more abnormalities. But we have to wait and see,” said Hoeneß before Geiger’s return to team training on Friday. Sebastian Rudy is definitely missing (torn thigh muscle.)
