Impact The hope is that this is only minor for Baumgartner, who was struggling with a muscle issue a month ago and missed a couple matches because of it. He has one start in the last month which came just before the break and it looks like he could miss another match or two with this injury.

NOVEMBER 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Robert Skov - Out months with hamstring injury Skov will miss "several months" with a hamstring injury suffered over the weekend.

Impact It's a tough injury for Skov, who was already struggling to stay on the pitch in the early campaign.

Over his last five starts, the goalkeeper is alternating games with multiple goals allowed and clean sheets. Up next for him is Nov. 20 home clash against RB Leipzig.

The full back made an immediate impact, becoming one of Hoffenheim's biggest sources of offense with his dangerous crosses from the left flank, but his efforts weren't enough for his side to find the back of the net. Raum will probably be back in the starting XI for Nov. 20 home clash against RB Leipzig.
