Baumann and Prömel make Team of the Round
Oliver Baumann and Grischa Prömel have been rewarded for their performances in the 3-2 win in Stuttgart and included in the Team of the Round. After saving a penalty and making numerous great saves, the TSG keeper was named in the top XI by “kicker”, “Sportschau” and “BILD”, while Prömel was honoured by “Sportschau” for another outstanding running performance in which he scored his second goal of the season. Congratulations, boys!
Melissa Kössler ruled out until the winter break
TSG Hoffenheim will be without Melissa Kössler up until the winter break. The attacker, who scored four goals in a 9-0 win against Duisburg on Matchday 1, has sustained a tear to her anterior syndesmosis ligament and is not expected to be able to action until the New Year. Kössler had sustained an ankle injury in the away game in Bremen at the end of September, and after suffering further trauma in fitness training, further examinations revealed a rupture of her syndesmosis ligament.
