Guilherme Ramos: From cast-off to starting XI? | OneFootball

Guilherme Ramos actually had no sporting prospects left at HSV. But now he could once again take on an important role.

The reason for this is the absence of Warmed Omari. He was injured in the away match at Union Berlin (0:0) and will not be available to Hamburger SV for the rest of the calendar year. Already last Sunday, Guilherme Ramos replaced the loanee from Stade Rennes. At the start of the training week, he also played as the right center-back in the back three during the final training matches.

“I’m glad he’s here and he’s one of the candidates for the right position,” said Merlin Polzin (via Bild). Ramos was actually supposed to have found a new employer by now. After a not very successful loan spell in his Portuguese homeland at Santa Clara, with only six appearances, HSV was aiming for a separation. However, no solution satisfactory to all parties could be found.

Polzin praises Ramos

That’s why Ramos, who put in some decent performances during pre-season, stayed in Hamburg beyond the end of the transfer window. He had already drawn attention to himself earlier by scoring a header in stoppage time to prevent the looming cup embarrassment in Pirmasens. HSV only managed to defeat the strongly performing Oberliga side in extra time, winning 2:1.

On Sunday, the new father could be in the starting eleven for the first time in the home game against Mainz (5:30 p.m., DAZN). “He is a truly fantastic person. And a player with a clear profile, which fit well against Berlin,” Polzin praised the defensive player. He left open whether this profile would suit the next opponent. However, a nomination for Ramos would not be surprising, especially with a view to avoiding further changes.

Otherwise, Jordan Torunarigha, who has recently been struggling with Achilles tendon problems and has so far been unconvincing, could return to the starting lineup, which would, however, mean moving Daniel Elfadli. He has played as the left-sided center-back in the last two matches and performed well. If Torunarigha returns, Elfadli would switch to the right side.
