Boris Vukcevic believes Hoffenheim will stay up

The match against VfB Stuttgart was Boris Vukcevic's last Bundesliga appearance to date. Around 20 weeks after his car accident, the 22-year-old continues to be treated in a rehabilitation clinic. Vukcevic is there recovering from serious head injuries that led to him being in a coma for several weeks.

Hoffenheim's sporting director Andreas Müller was able to give an update on the Germany U21 international's progress – just ahead of the return fixture against VfB (Sunday, 17.30 CET, WIRSOL Rhein-Neckar-Arena).

Müller after his visit: “It was very moving to see Boris again and have a chat with him. He's still got a long road ahead of him, but he's confident and has strong belief. We're all very grateful for his recovery and will continue to give him all the support he needs.”

Vukcevic wanted to pass on the following message to his teammates and the fans: “I still get chills every matchday and I'm certain that the team will stay up. I want to ask the fans to cross their fingers for them and help where you can.”
