Dompé to face Union? HSV have made their decision | OneFootball

The decision has been made: Jean-Luc Dompé is back in the HSV squad on Saturday afternoon against Union Berlin.

After turbulent weeks and intense discussions about his suspension, the Frenchman officially returns to the matchday squad.

The 30-year-old was subjected to severe disciplinary measures by the club following his drunk driving incident on the night after the derby against FC St. Pauli (0:0). HSV fined him 100,000 euros and temporarily excluded him from playing. Consequently, Dompé was not included in the squad for the matches against FC Bayern (2:2) and the away game in Heidenheim (0:2).

HSV with Dompé and Polzin against Union Berlin!

Sportingly, the winger has recently pushed back into the spotlight. This week, he completed all training sessions at Volkspark, showing commitment and resilience. An internal eleven-a-side match was considered the final acid test – apparently with a positive outcome. The coaching team around Merlin Polzin has now decided on his reinstatement.

This ends a balancing act between disciplinary action, sporting quality, and signaling effect. Competition has increased on the left wing: winter newcomer Philip Otele recently impressed with a strong debut. Nevertheless, HSV is once again relying on the individual class of its key player in the top match against 1. FC Union Berlin.

Head coach Merlin Polzin, who was absent during the week due to the flu, will be on the sidelines on Saturday. However, HSV will have to do without Warmed Omari.
