Signs with Hoffenheim
Wimmer has completed a transfer to Hoffenheim from Wolfsburg, according to his new club.
Analysis: Wimmer is switching clubs this offseason but will remain in Bundesliga play, with the attacker inking a deal with Hoffenheim. This comes after the relegation of Wolfsburg, as he will remain in the first tier of Germany, earning four goals and three assists in 25 appearances (21 starts) last season. This is a major pickup for the squad, as he is a player with decent skill and should improve the attack instantly. However, he is set for a World Cup spell with Austria before joining the team.
Ruled out for first leg
Wimmer (thigh) will miss Thursday's relegation playoff first leg against Paderborn and is unlikely to feature in Monday's second leg either, according to coach Dieter Hecking. "Wimmer will not be able to play tomorrow, probably not in the second leg either. He is still feeling something. I already told the team Monday that we can only take players who are one hundred percent."
Analysis: Wimmer's absence is a significant blow for Wolfsburg heading into the highest-stakes fixtures of their season, with the Austrian winger having been one of their more dangerous attacking options before the thigh issue emerged. Manager Dieter Hecking's uncompromising stance on player fitness underlines the importance the club places on having fully fit players available for such a critical two-legged tie. Mattias Svanberg is expected to continue covering in his absence across both legs of the playoff.
