Hübner just doesn’t get fit: is the TSG Hoffenheim captain threatened with the end of his career?

Benjamin Hübner was only able to play one game this season due to an ankle injury. It was the 1st DFB Cup main round. Since then, the 33-year-old, who can look back on a miserably long history of injuries, has been missing. Whether the central defender returns at all is loud table football-Information uncertain.

The comeback of defender Benjamin Hübner has been delayed for months. Even four months after suffering an ankle injury, the joint cannot withstand the high loads in professional football. Accordingly, in the past few months, there have been repeated pains and swellings that have stood in the way of the recovery process. A report by table football according to them, the injury could even cost the player his career.

“It’s really very uncertain when he’ll come back,” head coach André Breitenreiter recently described the situation. A further complication is the fact that Hübner also suffers from back problems.

Hübner in constant bad luck: 116 missed games in four and a half years

The central defender’s ordeal began at the beginning of the 2018/19 season, when he suffered so severely from the effects of a concussion for two months that top-class sport was impossible. In the following years he fell out, among other things, because of his back problems, several capsule injuries and a neck injury. Accordingly, he has missed a total of 116 competitive games in the last four and a half years. For this reason, the TSG captain “only” played 103 games for his club. His contract with Hoffenheim expires in the summer. Whether another competitive game will be added seems questionable.
