Est. Return 8/8/2026
Rejoins team training
Hoffmeier has rejoined team training at Paderborn, completing Thursday's session with his teammates after previously being sidelined by calf problems, according to Neue Westfalische.
ANALYSIS
Hoffmeier's return within days of the initial issue confirms coach Ralf Kettemann's early read that the calf tightness was precautionary rather than a genuine muscle injury. Given his recent history recovering from an ACL tear, having not missed a single session before this scare, his quick turnaround suggests Paderborn treated this as routine caution as he continues building toward full intensity ahead of the new 2026/27 Bundesliga season.

"We hope it's not too bad with Hoffi, it's normal for a muscle to tighten up sometimes, but it didn't make a loud pop. I hope he can train again Thursday, but we won't take any risks."
