Bad news for HSV: Omari set for extended spell on the sidelines | OneFootball

Hamburg SV is facing a personnel crisis in the coming weeks. In addition to Fabio Vieira's suspension, the Red Shorts will likely have to cope with the loss of Warmed Omari.

Hamburger SV must prepare for a painful loss. Centre-back Warmed Omari injured his ankle in the away game against Union Berlin (0:0). The initial examinations at UKE do not bode well. Even though the final diagnosis is still pending, the officials expect a long absence of the defender, according to the Hamburger Abendblatt.

The Bild even goes further: According to them, there are additional injuries that will force the 25-year-old to sit out for several weeks. The club wants to officially comment on the developments on Wednesday.

Either way, HSV is facing a real blow: Omari has been in action in all competitive games so far and is considered a constant alongside Luka Vuskovic within the newly formed three-man defence.

The injury comes at a particularly inconvenient time for the team. While substitute Guilherme Ramos was able to seamlessly step in in Berlin, the problem remains: The Portuguese is currently the only remaining right-footer for the right side. Although Jordan Torunarigha and Aboubaka Soumahoro are available as alternatives, both are left-footed and untested in this role. The difficulty of adapting to this position was already evident in the preparation with Daniel Elfadli.

HSV: Ramos must replace Omari

Interestingly, Ramos was considered a definite transfer candidate just a few weeks ago. The club had suggested he look for a new employer. Now he could become an indispensable factor, which may give many HSV fans hope but also cause concern. While the Portuguese brings robustness and heading strength, his skills with the ball do not match those of Omari. This responsibility will now likely fall more on youngster Luka Vuskovic.

In addition to Omari, creative player Fabio Vieira will also be missing against 1. FSV Mainz 05 (05.19, 5:30 pm) after being suspended for two games following his red card. The Hanseatic appeal against the two-game verdict was rejected by the DFB on Tuesday.
