TSG Hoffenheim: Pavel Kaderabek could return to the squad

What's the story?

Pavel Kaderabek could return to the TSG Hoffenheim squad for the first time since August when they take on Borussia Mönchengladbach on Saturday. The Czech Republic international has been sidelined with a hamstring injury but has now returned to full training and is in contention to feature at Borussia-Park.

What's the background?

Kaderabek has been a key player for Hoffenheim since joining from Sparta Prague in 2015. He has made over 150 appearances for the club and has been capped 49 times by his country. However, he has struggled with injuries in recent seasons and has only made 10 appearances for Hoffenheim this season.

What's the significance?

Kaderabek's return is a major boost for Hoffenheim, who have struggled defensively in his absence. The 29-year-old is a versatile defender who can play at right-back, left-back or in central defence. His experience and quality will be a valuable asset to Hoffenheim as they look to climb the Bundesliga table.

What next?

Kaderabek is expected to start on the bench against Borussia Mönchengladbach but could come on as a substitute if needed. Hoffenheim will be hoping that he can stay fit and help them to improve their form in the second half of the season.
