Ibisevic stays at Hoffenheim

After their riproaring start to the Bundesliga season, which has seen them go top after 11 rounds, several of Hoffenheim's best players have been linked with moves elsewhere.

However, when asked if Vedad Ibisevic and Demba Ba would be leaving the club, TSG general manager Jan Schindelmeister rejected the rumours: "There haven't been any official enquiries from other clubs and even if there were, we wouldn't react at all.

"The development of our team is so valuable that it is completely out of the question that we will be letting anyone go in the winter transfer period.

"I can't even imagine that we will be talking about such things in six months' time either."
