Canouse reported to preseason training with TSG 1899 Hoffenheim II today. Hoffenheim II play in the 4th tier Regionalliga Sudwest.
Good find. Looks like Gyau isn't on that list...would it be safe to assume then he picked up where he left last season and is with the first team?

Canouse appears to start regularly for Hoffenheim II now. In the lineup I clicked on, he was listed as an outside back, not sure if that's his usual position for them or not.
If the lineups on Transfermarkt are to be believed, he had a three-match run at LB around the time of your most, but has otherwise been in central midfield. Also, he's signed a new two-year deal: Happy to have renewed my contract with Hoffenheim for another two years!— Russell Canouse (@RussellCanouse) June 3, 2015

He seems to be 90 minutes or close to it every game. Hopefully he's close to a first team debut. He's a player that really goes under the radar in our program, and I'm guilty of it as well. I completely forgot about tracking this guy's progress.
I thought I had read that he was captain last year and they won their tournament? Perhaps that was some kind of Cup competition. Anyways, they obviously think he's an important player for them.
According to Transfermarkt, he hasn't played since October and only recently returned to the bench. I would assume an injury.
