Concussion rules Baumann out of Hoffenheim's fixture with Gladbach

Oliver Baumann will be unavailable for selection as TSG Hoffenheim take on Borussia Monchengladbach this Saturday. 

The Sinsheim club announced the news via social media stating that a concussion suffered against BVB last weekend is the cause.

Baumann was involved in a controversial coming together with Dortmund’s Carney Chukwuemeka in the build-up to Waldemar Anton’s winning goal.

Match referee Benjamin Brand consulted VAR for potential foul play at the time before awarding the goal as Hoffenheim fell to a 3-2 defeat.

Second choice shot-stopper Luca Philipp, who has already played 5 Bundesliga games this season, is expected to deputise.
