Due to injuries, Silvan Hefti and Bakery Jatta will not be in Gladbach. They don't have a future at HSV anyway.
About a week before the end of the transfer period, the squad planning at Hamburger SV is still far from complete. This applies especially to the departures. And two professionals have particularly bad cards at the Bundesliga promoted team: Bakery Jatta and Silvan Hefti.
Both players have long-term contracts: Hefti until 2028, Jatta even until 2029. Nevertheless, HSV is no longer planning with them. Rather, the sports management around coach Merlin Polzin hopes to be able to loan them out before September 1st. The problem: so far, according to Bild information, there are no serious interested parties. Jatta would prefer to stay at Volkspark anyway, and Hefti also hoped for a chance until the end. In vain.
To increase the pressure to change, Polzin is getting tougher. In the frequently practiced final game in training, Hefti and Jatta were no longer allowed to participate recently. While their colleagues competed in internal competitions, the two had to do passing exercises, run programs, or simply watch.
While Jatta recently returned to team training after his thigh injury and is not an option for the away game at Borussia Mönchengladbach, Hefti lost the duel for the backup role on the right defender position against the young Frenchman William Mikelbrencis. This finally pushed the 27-year-old into the second row.
The situation is different for Guilherme Ramos: the Portuguese is still considered a candidate for a change, but he regularly participates in all game forms in training. After his late equalizer in the DFB Cup against FK Pirmasens (2-1 a.e.t.), he was able to score important points anyway.
And yet: the latest news from Fabrizio Romano, according to which HSV is about to sign Luka Vuskovic, is likely to have made a stay of the Portuguese increasingly unlikely.
