Back fit from injury
Chaves (knee) is on the match sheet for Saturday's friendly against Freiburg, confirming he is back fit from his injury, the club posted.
Analysis: Chaves returned to Hoffenheim after Augsburg opted not to trigger the buy option from his loan spell, during which he started nine matches and contributed two goals. His inclusion in the squad for the friendly is a positive sign of full fitness as he looks to fight his way into manager Christian Ilzer's plans, though his path to regular minutes remains uncertain given the center back depth already at the club.
Ends loan at Augsburg
Chaves has returned to TSG Hoffenheim after Augsburg opted not to trigger the option to buy from his loan spell.
Analysis: Chaves joined Augsburg on loan in January to find regular playing time after falling down the pecking order at Hoffenheim behind Robin Hranac and Albian Hajdari. He started nine games for the club and chipped in two goals, but the move did not lead to Augsburg exercising the buy clause included in the loan deal. He remains under contract with Hoffenheim through 2029 and will report back for preseason training, with his path back into Christian Ilzer's plans still uncertain given the centre back depth already at the club. Hoffenheim have reportedly been open to selling Chaves if the right offer arrives.
