Available to play Saturday
Hlozek (lower leg) is available to play Saturday against Stuttgart, according to manager Christian Ilzer. "[Adam] Hlozek was able to participate fully."
Analysis: Hlozek participated in training without limitations, so he's set to make his return from a lengthy absence. The striker has been limited to just three appearances off the bench and 21 total minutes this season and hasn't played since Dec. 20.
Eyeing to play Saturday
Hlozek (lower leg) is set to be an option for limited minutes Saturday against Stuttgart, according to manager Christian Ilzer, per Michael Pfeifer of Kicker.de. "So in a range of 20 minutes, he can be used for us. If we can replace an Adam Hlozek in the final phase, that is simply a quality plus. You can see that in the training sessions, he already has his quality moments. And of course, he still has clear goals with us in these three rounds and can still help us."
Analysis: Hlozek was back in action last week with the second team as he appeared for a short time, getting some time for the first time since his injury. However, he is now looking to make another step, as the forward looks to be an option to face Stuttgart on Saturday. Even if this does take place, he is likely to be limited, appearing off the bench later in the match. He has only been an option for three games all season, trying to make something of this disappointing campaign by playing to end the season.
Returns to action with U23
Hlozek (lower leg) made his comeback from injury with Hoffenheim's U23 side, marking his first competitive appearance since before the turn of the year, the club posted.
Analysis: Hlozek had been closing in on a return after coach Christian Ilzer confirmed he was almost fully integrated into training, and getting minutes with the U23s is the natural next step in his reintegration process. The forward has been severely limited this season by a pair of injuries, managing just three appearances all campaign, and this first taste of competitive action in months is a significant milestone in his road back. Hoffenheim will now assess how he responds before determining when he could be available for first-team consideration in the final fixtures of the Bundesliga season.
Nearing full training
Hlozek (lower leg) is close to training fully, according to manager Christian Ilzer. "Adam is already further and almost fully involved in training."
Analysis: Hlozek is nearing a return in the next week or two, as the forward is nearing a return to full training in the next week or two. This is major news for him, as he last played before the turn of the new year. He has only been an option for three games all season, heavily restrained by a pair of injuries.
