Hoffenheim coach Hoeneß explains: That's why Kramaric sat again on the bench

Under normal circumstances, Andrew Dramatic is set in the starting formation of the TSG. And before the game against Leipzig (2: 0) Two weeks ago, those responsible had left open whether it could be enough for him in the international match of the Croats previously suffered head injury. At that time, a mission was dispensed with a precaution.

In the previous week at 6: 3 in Fürth then Dramatic came from the bank, also comprehensibly after the longer training break and only a few units. In addition, Mynas Dabber had also underpinned with a class performance its claim to the starting eleven.

Training lesser as a reason for banking place

But on Saturday against Frankfurt Dramatic had to take place again on the bank. Actually surprising after a complete training week. Only in the final phase after 72 minutes, coach Sebastian Honey sent his star into the race. For good reason, as it turned out later, because the 30-year-old had a blessing in training. He's not at 100 percent yet, Honey said afterwards, he got a pretty bad blow to the center foot, it was unclear until shortly before the game, whether he can even on the bank.

Honey: You can not forget, he was unconscious for twelve seconds three weeks ago

After all, it was enough for that. But not more for Hoffenheim. You can not forget, he was unconscious for twelve seconds three weeks ago, so he still has to do, Honey explained the still limited capacity of the Croat He's great with it and appreciates the 39 -Year-old, for the 3: 2 victory and the first third threesometed for the first time under Honey Threesome sequentially he also helped, not through goals as usual, but with the way he has undertaken against the ball. The return to the initial formation is equally just a matter of time as his 100th hit.

Incidentally, the early replacement (54th) had a heavily clumping Dennis Geiger, which had balanced with a dream goal to 1: 1, too. The midfielder had to struggle with muscular problems and was added as a precaution. On time, the report after the 23-year-old has no structural blessing.
