Sidelined for several weeks

Hajdari suffered a plantar fascia injury during Tuesday's training session and will be unavailable for the next several weeks, according to the club.

Analysis: Hajdari has suffered a fresh injury setback just as he was progressing toward a return from a knee issue sustained during the international break with Kosovo. The defender had recently resumed light training after missing the 3-2 defeat against Hamburger SV, but his latest injury will now keep him sidelined for several more weeks. Hajdari started four of Hoffenheim's first five Bundesliga matches this season, establishing himself as a regular option in central defense. Koki Machida is expected to continue starting in his absence, with Hajdari facing an extended spell on the sidelines.

Nearing return to team training

Hajdari (knee) has resumed light training after dealing with swelling caused by a knock or fall and could rejoin full team sessions soon, according to coach Christian Ilzer. "We've managed to get the swelling under control quite well. He's back in light training, and it looks like he'll be able to rejoin us in the near future."

Analysis: Hajdari is making encouraging progress after missing Saturday's 3-2 defeat against Hamburger SV due to a knee issue sustained during the international break with Kosovo. The defender has already resumed light training, suggesting his absence may not be prolonged, although a date for his return to full team sessions has yet to be confirmed. Hajdari started four of Hoffenheim's first five Bundesliga matches this season, establishing himself as an important option in central defense. His potential return in the coming fixtures would provide a welcome boost to Hoffenheim's defensive rotation during a busy stretch of matches.
