Comeback edging closer: HSV ace back in team training! | OneFootball

After the cancellation of the Leverkusen match, positive signals from training are increasing at HSV. Merlin Polzin can look forward to numerous encouraging signs.

This applies above all to Warmed Omari. As reported by the Mopo, the central defender took part in team training on Wednesday for the first time since his serious ankle injury at the end of September, almost fully. In the eleven-a-side game across the entire pitch, the Frenchman was back, completed large parts of the session, and only left the field a little earlier to avoid any further risk. An important step on the road to recovery, even though his final comeback in competitive matches has not yet been scheduled. The workload is now to be increased gradually.

In addition to Omari, Fabio Baldé and Anssi Suhonen also returned after recovering from illness. Jean-Luc Dompé and Albert Sambi Lokonga also trained fully, even though there were still major question marks over their participation before the duel with Leverkusen. The personnel situation is therefore easing significantly ahead of the match against Borussia Mönchengladbach. However, there is currently still a question mark over whether the match will take place as planned on Saturday afternoon.

HSV defense faces further suspensions

Regardless of the stadium situation and possible rescheduled matches, Omari in particular could take on a central role in the coming weeks. With Luka Vuskovic and Nicolás Capaldo both on four yellow cards, they are each just one away from suspension. Potential absences that are particularly explosive given the upcoming city derby against FC St. Pauli (January 23). In addition, Daniel Elfadli is missing due to his yellow-red card from the Freiburg match, further limiting the defensive options.

If the medical team gives the green light soon, Omari could quickly become a serious option for the starting eleven again. At the start of the season, the 25-year-old was already an undisputed regular. Even though there is currently little reason to change the overall stable defense, the Comoros international is likely to play an important role again in the second half of this season.
