Sinsheim - 1899 Hoffenheim will be without USA international Fabian Johnson for the immediate future after the defender broke bones in his right hand on Saturday.

The 26-year-old sustained the injury in his side's 4-0 defeat away to 1. FC Nürnberg and did not emerge from the changing rooms for the second half. It is not yet known how long Johnson will be absent for.
