Hoffenheim coach reveals why Gift Orban will miss UEL clash against RSC Anderlecht
Published: January 29, 2025
Hoffenheim's new signing, Gift Orban, will not be available for the team's UEFA Europa League clash against RSC Anderlecht on Thursday.
This was confirmed by the club's coach, Christian Ilzer, who revealed that Orban is ineligible to play in the match at the pre-match press conference via the club's official website.
Orban, who recently joined German club from French side Lyon, netted his first goal for the club last Sunday - a crucial equalizer in a 2-2 draw against Eintracht Frankfurt.
However, his absence from the squad for the Anderlecht match is a significant blow to Hoffenheim's who are outside the playoffs zone at 28th on the log.
Hoffenheim are already facing a tough challenge in the Europa League, and the absence of Orban, along with 13 other injured players, will make their task even more difficult.
The team's coach is facing a selection headache, with a severely depleted squad to choose from.
Despite the challenges, the Bundesliga will look to put on a good show against Anderlecht, who are the most successful Belgian team in European club competitions.
The team's coach is confident that his players can put on a good performance, despite the challenges they are facing.
Orban's absence from the match will be felt, but Hoffenheim will be hoping that their other players can step up and fill the void.
The match against Anderlecht will be a tough test for Hoffenheim, but they will be determined to come away with a positive result.
