Patrick Wimmer

Wimmer (thigh) was spotted training with the ball, marking a significant step forward in his recovery from the thigh issue that ruled him out of Wolfsburg's relegation playoff, the Austrian federation posted.

Analysis: Wimmer ended the club season with four goals, three assists, 16 chances created and 47 tackles across 25 Bundesliga appearances before the injury struck, and his return to ball work is an encouraging development heading into the World Cup. The wide forward, who has completed a transfer to Hoffenheim ahead of the 2026/27 season, will now focus entirely on being fully fit for Austria's World Cup opener against Jordan on June 17.

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.
