Andrej Kramarić's difficult season at Hoffenheim continues, with the club's record goalscorer reduced to a bit-part role ahead of Thursday's Europa League meeting with Lyon and Sunday's Bundesliga trip to Bayer Leverkusen. Coach Christian Ilzer insists playing time must be earned, while sporting director Andreas Schicker has called the Croatian a club legend.
Hyeon-Gyu Oh scored twice as Beşiktaş won 3-2 at Hoffenheim in the Europa League, handing Christian Ilzer's side a second consecutive European defeat and a fourth straight loss in all competitions. Fisnik Asllani and Machida scored for the hosts, but Michael Murillo and Oh's brace did the damage as Hoffenheim were repeatedly punished on the counter-attack.
Hoffenheim coach Christian Ilzer has confirmed Albian Hajdari will be out for the next few weeks with a plantar fascia injury ahead of the Europa League clash with Beşiktaş JK, and warned his side face a high-quality opponent.
