Hofmann to miss Leverkusen's clash with Eintracht Frankfurt

Kicker reports that Jonas Hofmann will miss Kasper Hjulmand’s first game as Bayer Leverkusen coach in the Bundesliga against Eintracht Frankfurt on Friday.

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.
