Hoffenheim will be without forward Ihlas Bebou for the time being after he underwent a knee surgery at the weekend, the Bundesliga club said on Monday. Bebou suffered an injury while warming up ahead of the friendly game against Fulham on August 10 and had already missed the German Cup first round match against Würzburger Kickers on Friday. It’s unclear when the player will be back in action. Hoffenheim start their Bundesliga season on Saturday against promoted Holstein Kiel.
