TSG Hoffenheim have been hit by an injury blow.
The Bundesliga club announced on Saturday that their first-choice goalkeeper, Oliver Baumann, has suffered a foot injury that will keep him out until further notice.
According to Kicker and Bild, the 34-year-old is expected to be sidelined for four to six weeks, meaning he could miss Germany's matches against Italy in March.
Luca Philipp is ready to step in for Baumann for Hoffenheim until the veteran is fit again.
