Dompé, Glatzel, Omari: The latest on HSV’s injured players! | OneFootball

The start of HSV’s winter preparations was marked not only by the surprising withdrawal of sporting director Stefan Kuntz.

There are also numerous sporting question marks surrounding the Rothosen ahead of the Bundesliga opener at SC Freiburg (January 10). This is especially true with regard to the injured key players Jean-Luc Dompé, Robert Glatzel, and Warmed Omari.

All three initially completed their first sessions of the new year away from the team, once again working with rehab coach Sebastian Capel. However, while patience is still required for Omari, there is reason for optimism with Dompé. The Frenchman suffered from persistent Achilles tendon problems almost continuously during the first half of the season. These repeatedly forced him to take breaks and caused him to miss the games in Hoffenheim and against Frankfurt before the winter break. Now, his condition appears to have improved significantly. On Sunday, the 30-year-old completed large parts of team training, and according to the Hamburger Abendblatt, he is firmly planned for the game in Freiburg.

A comeback would come at just the right time, as the personnel situation on the wings is tense. Alexander Rössing-Lelesiit was recently absent due to injury, and Fabio Baldé had to cut short the opening training session due to a knock. However, a serious injury is not feared.

HSV attack still with question marks

The situation in the center of attack is proving to be more complicated. Robert Glatzel is working intensively on his comeback, but after the muscle fiber tear at the end of November, only an examination at the beginning of the week will bring clarity. An initial interim assessment after Sunday’s training was positive, and Glatzel could well be included in the squad for Freiburg.

Meanwhile, Warmed Omari will be out longer than Glatzel. The central defender has been struggling with a syndesmosis injury since the end of September and still needs time after the long layoff. On the bright side: HSV is better staffed defensively, as the recently injured Daniel Elfadli and Jordan Torunarigha are fully fit again.
