Bayern Munich defender Chris Richards will not play again for loan club Hoffenheim this season after picking up a thigh injury in his last match. Hoffenheim said Thursday that the 22-year-old United States international would not recover in time for any of the four remaining games in the campaign. “That is a very bitter diagnosis because Chris has just come back into the team after a long injury break,” said Hoffenheim sport chief Alexander Rosen. Richards will remain officially on loan at Hoffenheim until June 30.
