Chris Richards loan move from Bayern Munich to Hoffenheim looks to be a win-win-win situation for all involved, with the player and both clubs set to profit from the American s five-month spell in Sinsheim.
bundesliga.com outlines why it s good for…
Only three teams have conceded more goals than Hoffenheim s 34 in the Bundesliga this season - all three of which are currently in the bottom four of the league standings. Needing to stem the tide and, ideally, jostle for European qualification by the end of the campaign, Hoffenheim identified Richards as their preferred target.
Their defensive woes have been largely down to serious and long-term injuries to three of the club s first-choice centre-backs: Ermin Bicakcic (cruciate ligament), Benjamin Hübner (ankle) and Kevin Akpoguma (thigh), all of whom are expected to remain sidelined for the foreseeable future.

Bayern Munich returned to the top of the Bundesliga table after coming from two goals down to sink Mainz 5-2 on Sunday evening.
Bayern made two changes from the narrow win over Bayer Leverkusen in their last match of 2020, as Joshua Kimmich and Leroy Sane were both recalled.
Sane almost marked his return to the line-up with an early goal for the hosts in the ninth minute with a strike inside the box that took a deflection and almost crossed the line but goalkeeper Finn Dahmen made a great reflex save.
Mainz were growing in the game midway into the first stanza, putting Bayern under pressure and Jonathan Burkardt gave the visitors a shock lead in the 32nd minute with a thumping effort past goalkeeper Manuel Neuer after a through ball over the defence.
