Hoffenheim's Gendrey Injured Again - Valentin Gendrey suffers another serious ankle injury in training setback
TSG Hoffenheim defender Valentin Gendrey has suffered another serious ankle injury during training. The 25-year-old twisted his right ankle when his foot caught in the turf. This setback comes just months after his return from a long-term absence due to a broken ankle and syndesmosis tear at the start of the season.
Gendrey had only recently made his comeback in December 2025. Since then, he featured in eight matches, all as a substitute. His latest injury affects the same ankle he broke before the season began.
Medical tests confirmed the severity of the problem. The club expects him to miss another extended period of play.
TSG Hoffenheim's sporting director, Andreas Schicker, spoke about the situation. He expressed sympathy for Gendrey and assured the defender of the club's full support during his recovery.
The injury disrupts Gendrey's progress after his December return. He now faces a second lengthy spell on the sidelines. Hoffenheim will continue monitoring his rehabilitation in the coming months.
