After eight months out: Røssing-Lelesiit reveals HSV dream | OneFootball

After eight months, Alexander Røssing-Lelesiit is finally on the verge of his comeback. After a long spell of suffering, the HSV talent already has a clear goal in sight.

“Røssing-Lelesiit scores his first HSV goal” – that is the headline the Norwegian would love to read about himself in the coming months. Ideally, the goal would come at the Volkspark. “That would be the next incredible moment,” the left winger said in an interview with Mopo.

Such a moment of success would undoubtedly feel like a relief. Røssing-Lelesiit has repeatedly struggled with injuries during his time at HSV so far. In December 2025, a torn muscle fiber first sidelined him for around a month. In January, he then suffered a syndesmosis tear in the city derby against FC St. Pauli (0-0), which cost him 12 matches. Just as the youngster had returned to the training pitch in May, he picked up an ankle injury. He is still recovering from it.

New role awaits in HSV system

Røssing-Lelesiit made it very clear just how much he has missed football. “The feeling of playing in a sold-out Volksparkstadion” is what he misses most. “When you're out on the pitch and hear the fans cheering – it’s an indescribable feeling.”

Meanwhile, quite a lot has changed on the sporting side since his injury layoff – and not just in terms of personnel. The new playing system offers fewer fixed opportunities for a classic winger like him. Røssing-Lelesiit, however, sees that as a chance: “I’m going to learn to play not just one position, but to become more versatile.”

His big goal remains breaking through with the first team. “My top priority is to establish myself at HSV. That comes before everything else,” the Scandinavian emphasized. In case his football career does not work out as planned, he is also keeping an eye on finishing school and can imagine working as a sports teacher later on. For now, though, his full focus is on his comeback and his first HSV goal.
