Kleine-Bekel is out for Saturday's match against Hoffenheim as he continues to recover from a torn ACL, according to his
team.
ANALYSISKleine-Bekel is still in the rehabilitation process after going down injured with a torn ACL last season, likely leaving him out for a couple of games to begin the season. The injury occurred late into March while he was serving with the German U21 team, giving him a timeline for a return around the start of the new year. That said, expect the team to be without him for a while, leaving
Timo Becker,
Carl Johansson and
Patrick Erras as the starting three in the defense.
