Bild reports on the loan transfer of Thorben Hoffmann back to Braunschweig from Schalke 04.\nThorben Hoffmann, who joined Schalke 04 from Braunschweig on a free transfer in the summer, is being loaned back to his former club, Braunschweig, until the end of the season. The loan agreement includes a clause that requires Braunschweig to sign Hoffmann permanently if they remain in their league. However, if Braunschweig is relegated, Hoffmann could return to Schalke.

Thorben Hoffmann will be loaned to his former club Braunschweig until the end of the season after losing his position as the first-choice goalkeeper to Justin Heekeren at Schalke. Schalke ensured that Hoffmann will not play against them when they face Braunschweig in the upcoming match.

Thorben Hoffmann is expected to leave Schalke for Braunschweig. This potential move is part of Schalke's plan to replace him with Loris Karius.

Thorben Hoffmann was brought in as the number 1 goalkeeper in the summer, but Justin Heekeren has surpassed him, leaving Hoffmann as a discontented backup. His former club Braunschweig would like to take him back. Schalke would agree to this move only if Manga finds an adequate replacement beforehand. Otherwise, there is a transfer ban, and Hoffmann would have to stay until the end of the season due to fear of a potential Heekeren injury.
