Hofmann to miss Leverkusen's clash with Eintracht Frankfurt

The 33-year-old attacking midfielder is working his way back to full fitness after suffering a setback from the thigh injury he sustained during pre-season.

Having struggled for playing time for some time, Hofmann will be hoping for more opportunities under Hjulmand, a coach he has worked with before.

Hofmann played a key role during his loan at Mainz 05 when the Danish coach was in charge in the 2014/15 season.

Unfortunately, after Hofmann picked up an injury, Mainz’s form began to decline, and Hjulmand was ultimately relieved of his duties.
