With the holed one docked to the ISS that no one is keen to de-orbit with and this flight having one crew less they are getting into some situation now.
I guess they could send Soyuz MS-11 without crew so the current ISS crew has a more reliable craft for their own return.

"The orbital module is a spherical portion of the Soyuz that allows more gear to go up with the spacecraft. Unlike the lower crew capsule, the orbital module does not survive re-entry into Earth's atmosphere."[0] [0]https://www.space.com/41738-soyuz-spacecraft-air-leak-hole-origin-report.html https://www.space.com/41738-soyuz-spacecraft-air-leak-hole-o...
